• What sign comes down from the grown up world? The aviator comes flying down from his parachute. We are sure that he is dead. But were not completely sure.
  


• Why aren’t the boys aware of it? Because we are more focused more on hunting and staying alive and I really know whats happening.
  


• Why are Sam ‘n Eric so terrified? Because they saw the beast which I don't believe that they actually saw.
  
• How do Sam ‘n Eric describe the beast? It has Wings, Claws and sharp teeth but they are very young so they don't know much about it. Their imagination is wild.
  


• What is the attitude of the boys when going off to look for the beast? I' am terrified because I don't know if we should go hunt the beast but if we do a lot of pros n cons we would have. The littuns will stop whining about it but its a big risk because we don't know how big the beastie is.
  
• Is there really a beast? How do you know? Well from what we heard from Sam n Eric
  that there is but I don't really believe because its near our fire and I'm really scared right now.
  

  Do you feel that you are still the strongest leader on this island? No I feel that Jack is taking over my authority which I don't like what he is doing. But ill fight until I win my authority.
  

  What kind of pressures and stress do you feel as the leader responsible for the boys? I have to supply them with food and make sure they don't run away I'm like the father of twenty children its really hard. I can barely sleep because I have to think of new ideas for rules and help.
  

  
  Do you like being a leader? Not really as it stresses me out a lot and I have to act like an adult and I'm not ready to grow up.
• In Chapter 5, Ralph cries, “If only they could get a message to us…if only they could send us something grown up….a sign or something,” (Golding, 83). That the aviator comes from the sky to give us a sign that a war or an event is happening to us and I' am really scared. I have to go hunt and see what it really is what they say it is.
  

Dear Diary,

I'm the chief of this island there's really a lot of consequences and pros and cons about hunting the beastie and also like making new rules because I really don't want to lose Jack because he has the weapons to hunt and I don't. The only we can stay together if I give up leadership but that would really be dumb of me because I'l be selfish so right now I'm really confused. My opinion of hunting the beastie I'm diffidently scared and don't know what to do or say right now. Mutinously I'm waxy about how Jack is being a little bossy and not respecting my authority of being chief. I'm embroiled with Jacks and Piggy's conflict and I just want to split there's many things that could happen if I give up my position in chief. Now I really want to come back home but I wonder what my family is thinking about right now. If they miss me or they don't care about but my big question is if they are alive. I know Piggy's life has been rough because of the name calling they do to him, and he is an orphan I can't imagine living without my actual parents there. I think I may need to call another meeting about the beastie to get everyone straight about what our next next plan is to do we already know everyone is mainly scared except Jack but I dont believe him. Now that we know that Sam n Eric have found the supposively called "Beastie" we have to check if it is actually the beast. I don't want to get into any other fights I have had enough already with Jack but if he wants to hunt it, its up to him because since he wants to leave and not respect my authority of being cheif I don't care. Its really hard being with him because there's alot of things we can get from him like hunting help but sometimes hes just disobidient. My main thing is getting that Levithian rumor about that beastie over with.
