The Beastie


Dear Diary,

Each of the characters think differently of the "beastie". The littluns think its snake. Ralph thinks it the littluns imagination of nightmares. Me, I don't believe it at all. And now Simon thinks it's something evil. And Jack really doesn’t care what it is he just wants to kill it .



Instead of worrying about a helpless beastie everyone should be worry about make huts getting food and finding ways to get rescued. All this beastie rumors is making us fall apart. The kids are too scared to do anything. This is not what we agreed on when Ralph was talking about in the meetings. 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.



 I think it's nothing and we have to put this "beastie" behind us and focus on stuff that really important. We are giving all of our time worrying about this non existing creature, that we could have been putting all of our focus on getting rescued. We really need to start getting on track.

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
