Chapter 5

    
Dear Diary,
 Ralph called a meeting to set some ground rules and to discuss them. He talks about how everybody talks about wanting to work and help to survive. But when it actually came to do the work they are lazy and just play around. The littuens talk about that there is a beastie on the island and ralph says tat there is no beastie and its just made out of fear. But jack says he will maintain the "beastie". And one of the littuens talk about seeing the beastie and they were making suggestion on what it doesn't in the day/night time and that brought chaos into the meeting. Now Jack is claiming that if he sees the beastie he will kill it with the hunters. All the boy started running after jack singing and dancing the chant. Image result for chapter 5 lotf beastie

I feel like we are getting no where in what we have to do. We literally just go through a meeting about working together and staying on track now all they want to do is play around. All I know is things are going to go downhill from this point and on. no matter what we do nothing will work. even if we try.


I think what's going to happen next is the kids are going to help jack find the "beastie" where and whatever he is and try to kill it. And someone is going to get really hurt while doing that. I really don't know yet. I have this really bad feeling.




Signed,
Piggy

Chapter 3 Huts on the beach

Image
Dear Diary, While Ralph and Simon were making the huts by themselves jack and the hunters went hunting for the pig. Ralph is irritated because the huts keep falling down before they are completed and because, though the huts are vital to the boys’ ability to live on the island, none of the other boys besides Simon will help him. As Ralph and Simon work most of the other boys splash about and play in the lagoon. Ralph sees that few of the boys are doing any work. He says that all the boys act excited and energized by the plans they make at meetings, but none of them is willing to work to make the plans into work. And jack still  haven't caught the pig yet. Ralph says that Jack and the hunters are using their hunting skills as an excuse to avoid the real work. And all jacks says to that is we need meat. At the same time Simon was wandering through the jungle alone. And He helps some of the older boys have started to  “littluns”—reach fruit hanging from a high branch. He walks

Symbols

The first symbol is piggy's glasses. piggy wears glasses to see because without his glasses he cant see. And the boys also use it to start the fire.  It symbolizes vision (to see + think). The reason why symbolizes that be cause Piggy needs to see and it also can symbolize the fire so they can get rescued. The glasses changes because Jack slapped Piggy across the face and it fell and broke. So now one of the lenses is cracked. The next one is fire. the fire represents hope. hope to get rescued. Because they don't want to stay on the island forever. the fire changes in the story because Sam and Eric were suppose to tend the fire but instead they went to go hunting with Jack. And when that happened it went out right before the ship passed by the island. they had a chance but now there is no hope.    And finally the last one is face paint. Jack uses the face paint to camouflage so he wouldn't be to attractive to the animals. The face paint symbolizes savagery because

Dear Diary, So I currently died and I'm watching everything up in heaven. I see Ralph hiding in the jungle tryin to hide away from Jack. Ralph comes across the stick with the pig's head o the top. he takes off the head and uses the stick as a weapon to defend himself. he went passed the castle rock and saw the twins. They gave him food. They told him Jack's plans of what he's doing tomorrow. then he falls asleep. Ralph smells smoke and leaves his hiding spot.  He fights away Jack and his hunters on the way. He ends up at the beach. and Ralph sees a officer standing over him. he tells jack the he seen the fire and there is a ship to recue them. And Jack and his hunters came along too. the officer assumes that the boys were playing. He questions them how did they loose all the their respect for the rules of civilization in a short amount of time. The boys became so overwhelmed and embarrassed that they all started crying. And the boys started regaining their self-control
