Rescued

Well we got rescued today. I was almost killed too. I would have if that officer didn't show up when he did. I am deeply disturbed about the goings on of this island. It turned everyone evil and crazy. I will never be the same after this dramatic experience. I feel as if there is no hope for man kind. If we turn against all we stand for in just a few days because of no real rules, I fear that we will go through many more bad times. I told my father what happened on the island. All of it. He is going to have the parents of the children who did the killing notified of their almost satanic actions. I am also switching schools. I don't want to go to school with a bunch of guys who just tried to kill me. I am glad we were rescued, but I will always remember what they did on that island.

The worst to come is Here

All is lost. I am the only one left on this island with some idea of humanity. Piggy, dead. Simon, dead. Samneric were captured and are now probably dead for all I know. We were raided but we defended ourselves. I also fought Jack, twice. I think I did quite well but I took a beating as well. I fear the worst that is to come, is right in front of me and I am going to have to survive on my own for a while. Sorry Piggy, I regret ever giving you a hard time. I took you for granted and now Im alone. This Island is a death sentence. We are all going to die now. No one knows what to do anymore and I can't keep the fire going because there is no one to help me. We are all going to die.

Day 3

Wow. I guess my prediction was correct. We are growing more savage everyday. Our games get out of hand and Robert was almost killed. We are still looking for the beast and we can't find its living space. Jack is starting to get farther in his disobedience towards me. Plus, Piggy isn't doing anything but whine when I give him a job and all he does is complain. We also found a place that Jack says is a "good fort", but there is no fresh water and it is too dangerous to live in there. There is so much going on in my mind that I am having trouble leading these boys when they don't listen and go off on one of Jack's schemes. But on the other hand, I hit my first pig today. It felt good and gave me some confidence in myself. I have also found a friendship with Simon. He is always helping and is by my side to help at any moment. I hope my dad comes soon.

Day 2

I cannot believe the recent happenings. Today was a wild day. It was just a normal bathing time in the pool. We swam for a while and started to leave. I was laying on the sand, trying to relax. But at the same time trying to ignore Piggy's annoying presence. He is a rather annoying fellow. I won't stop whining and always complains. Anyway, he walks in front of and to my disbelief, I spot a ship on the horizon. I get up and yell, Smoke! Smoke! I waited to see the smoke coming up from the fire. But it never came. I took off in a sprint to the mountain with Simon and Maurice. But as always, Piggy just has to tag along. We were at the mountain and still no smoke. We got up there and the watchers of the fire were gone. I couldn't believe it. I have never in my life felt so much anger. Then to top it off, Jack and his band os so called "hunters" comes with this really bad chant marching up the mountain with a pig on a steak. When I explained to Jack what he did wrong, he didn't even care!!! Then he attacked fat little Piggy for being annoying. Jack is becoming even more threatening and I think he must be felt with if we want to survive on this island.

P.S. Its about time Jack killed a pig. He was beginning to seem like a coward, but it turns out that he is a mad boy who is going to learn a valuable lesson if he doesn't shape up.

Ralph Day 1

May 13, 2013

Hi my name is Ralph and this is my journal. I am about 14 years of age, I live in England and my father is a Captain in the Royal Navy.
          Well today wasn't the best. Our plane crashed, and we are stranded on this island with no adults. I was elected leader by all the other children. As leader I need to keep order, but Jack continues to interrupt me and cause disorder in our meetings. Today he lead all the boys to make a fire on the mountain. I told them to settle down, but they listened to Jack. I feel tension growing between me and Jack. I feel in the days to come we will have a quarell that will lead to something worse. On the other hand, Piggy, is really getting on my nerves. He is always taking the conch as if he has power over us all when he has it. He constantly wines about how bad we have it and is just a drag. But on the good side we found a way to get food. The island is plentiful in wild pig. We also started a bond fire today as well. But to our dismay, Piggy pointed out that one of the lithe boys that was afraid of snakes was missing. I am worried that if I do not find a way to keep order and keep track of everyone, then we will slowly die off.
