Final Blog


As we were pulling ourselves together heading to who knows where it made me think of how much of a savage all of us were acting. We let the best of us come out, due to our selfishness. Jack on the other hand still didn’t embrace the fact that we were saved, he stilled showed his savage sign. We all had no idea what was going on, the naval officer finally told us that we were right in the middle of World war 2. Many of the boys were interested in the topic but the littluns were terrified.



As we were boarding the ship I was still getting flashbacks on how Piggy and Simon died. I feel like as a leader I failed to keep the boys civilized and safe. We got in the ship and there were other boys that looked scratched up, had bruises, hair was dirty, and barely had clothes like us. The other group of boys had bags under their eyes or dark circles. Some had rashes all over their body. Most looked skinny. Officer directed us to the bedding section of the ship. I haven't rested on a bed for so long I almost forgot what it feels like.



The officer told us that we need to rest because we are in really bad shape and conditions. He said that the littluns could fit about 4-5 on each bunk. And the older kids could get their own. I jumped on the bunk I choose and went straight to sleep. I woke up feeling refreshed in my mind but somewhat not in and out my body. I walked to the front of the ship where everyone was gathered up and socializing. I needed a shower it looked like everyone took a shower because everyone looked groomed. I didn’t want to interrupt anything so I decided to go find it myself. I put a conclusion that the showers should be close to the beds. I was right. I walked and there was already fresh towels on a shelf with a bar of soap on it. I took a towel and the bar of soap.  I got in the shower turned on the knob to turn shower on and put the temperature on hot. I haven't had a hot shower in a while. Steam was going everywhere the water hitting my skin and almost my burning scars and bruises felt like the best thing right now. I stayed there for about an hour and got out. Dried myself and try to find clothes. But it seems someone knew I was taking a shower and left clothes for me on the shelf either the towels. I put them on and walked out to where everyone where and sat down with the other kids and adults were.



Next think we stopped out of nowhere and the same officer that found us on the island walked out of the ship and left. I seemed quite worried because nobody was reacting to what just happened. They just kept continuing what they were doing. And I noticed there were more kids on the ship. They looked dirty but not as dirty as I was. They were playing with the littluns. So I just watched and thought about how better it would have been if Simon and piggy were here. The officer came back with another group of kids. And did the same routine he did with my group and maybe the one after us. But they was one boy my age and he looked rather clean so he sat next to me and observed me. He introduced his name. Peter was the name. And he came from the same town that I was from. We started talking about all the leading event that lead us to be in the very ship. His story was far from mine. He had adults in the location he was in and that he had one family member with him. But unfortunately they died. I said that 2 of my brothers died and that I missed them very much. One adult said that we it's time for bed. My bunk was pretty big so I said he could sleep on my bunk.





So everybody was sleeping  but I was wide awake thinking about everything that happened in my life. I regret everything that happened. How could I have let an I island with no adults on it turned me into a savage? How could I kill someone that I was supposed to protect? How could everything go so wrong yet so quickly? Did I not see the signs? Did I make the right choice on being the leader? All these question were running through my mind while I was falling asleep on the ship finding a new home gaining my civilization back.

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

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
