Lord of the Flies
Chapter 4: Painted faces and long hair
“Help me Jesus”
Perspective: Simon
Dear Diary,
Help me please it has been a BLATANT day everybody splitting up to their own groups trying to be the best. The BELLIGERENCE Jack wont get the fact that he is not the leader here he has to realize he just controls the hunting group what does he want from Piggy what has Piggy don’t to him. Why does he have to yell at me today just because I gave Piggy meat c’mon I say that we are going split up. That we will soon have our own territories and if we cross the line, it is going to be life or death. What happened to when we first met? Why does Jack hate Piggy so much, just because he is fat or is Jack jealous that Piggy is smarter and more observant and helps us live more? The SWARTHINESS of my warrior look might help me hunt for myself and I will not have to worry about anyone else besides people that would help. The GOUTS of the pig’s blood of what Jack was talking about seemed like he just wanted attention and if no one gives him attention he would not survive here. However, he seems serious as if if you betray him he will give you a big consequence in return to make you pay and I know that he wants that to happen to Piggy. Why hasn’t the beastie come back? I have not heard the littleuns whine about it yet I thought it came back each night. I say someone around our group has something to do with the beastie and is trying to sabotage our group. Piggy look in his eyes were MALEVOLENTLY as he wanted to retaliate back to get back at him but I know Piggy is smarter, than to fight back as he can become the most hated one. I think sooner or later one of us is going to die because like one of us might do something to someone and they will regret it and get back at them.

1. What things are you having trouble adjusting to on the island that are different from your life at home in England?
I have to work for my food, work for everything I need to survive, I have to mature now. I have to adjust making my own food, making my own shelter to live. To maintain my self to live.

2.How do you feel about the littluns?
I really do not think that the littleuns are any help to us all they do is play and whine about the beastie. They have not even matured but c’mon what can you expect from 10 year olds.

3.What do they do with their time?
The littleuns still act as children they just play like as if it was a playground and they want us to support them they should start helping.

4.Why do you all paint your faces?
We all painted our faces to get the warrior look to scare of animals and to camouflage with the environment of the island for it would be easier for us to hunt.

5.What does this foreshadow?
I see we will soon split up because of Jack, Piggy, and Ralph don’t get along with the choices sooner or later we will have our own territory but I don’t know who I want to be with.

6.How do you feel when your face is painted?
When I painted my face, I felt tough and ready to go wild as all the blood running through my veins got me crazy to go hunt for food.

7.Why doesn’t the passing ship see you on the island?
The passing ship didn’t see us because I the selfish Jack who cares about him didn’t watch the fire as it faded away/

8. Why was the fire allowed to go out?
The fire went out because Jack went hunting instead of watching the fire to get a signal for help.

9.What is the overall mood on the island at this time?
The mood changes as the time ticks some us get mad at each other, we feel sad, happy, and crazy. It changes.

10.What do you predict will happen next?
I say that we will split up because of the little war we have between Ralph and Jack not agreeing now Jack is mainly backstabbing at us as he tries to act all like a nice person to us except Piggy now he’s changed. I do not know whom I would want to be with on whose side. Now I want to be with Jack because he can supply us food with his weapon.
