Dear Dairy, when everybody was sleeping there was a dog fight. And one plane destroyed the other plane and the polite felt out the plane and landed in the island. Sam and Eric woke up they tend to the fire to make the flames brighter. In the flickering firelight, they see a twisted form of the figure of the beast. They run quickly back to the camp to wake Ralph and tell him what they have seen. Ralph calls for a meeting at and explain what they saw when they were suppose to tending the fire. ralph allows jack to lead the group of boys who went to find the "beastie." they reached a part of the island that no ones has seen or expedited before. they walked a thin that leads to a hill dotted with small caves. they are afraid to go to the walkway and around the edge so ralph goes to take a look at what's ahead. then jack goes in. They climb the hill. the other boys began to play games pushing rock into the water most of them forgot the purpose if this trip. Ralph reminds them...

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. 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 ...

Symbols

Image
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. ...

Chapter 4

Dear diary,         Today  a ship has been seen today by Ralph and I. When we went noticed that Sam and Eric  we were furious that they were not there. We leave them to do one job and this happens. They were supposed to be tending the fire and to see ships in the water coming to rescue us. But the fire went out.  Me and Ralph went to go to Jack about the why he wanted the twins. He said he wanted them because he needed them to hunt. But does jack care of course not because he caught the pig. After that we had a little feast. And then while everyone was eating there food jack said that I didn’t help get the food. But really its cause he doesn’t like me. But I really wanted to eat. So I said ralph didn’t help and Simon so can they eat. And then he just punches me and slaps me and now my glasses are broken. And then after all of that Simon shares is food with me. I feel so violated. My glasses are broken my face hurts. ...

The Beastie

Image
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 bee...

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 ...

Chapter 2

Dear Diary, Ralph makes a noise with the shell. That means that there's goin to have a meeting at the beach. He says that there no adults so we have to act civil. So they make things more organized they Ralph said whoever is holding the conch shell can talk with no interruptions. One of the lileuns saw a "bestie" and now everyone on the island is scared. In order to get rescued Ralph had a great idea that we should make a big fire on the top of the mountain. And when passing ships they’ll see the smoke coming from the island then we'll get rescued.  Jack wanted to be in charge with the fire with his group "The Hunters". The fire got out of control and burnt half of the island. If jack was doing this job instead of "hunting" that would never happen And now the kid that was going around saying that there is a beastie is missing. I think if they didn’t always play around or go hunting they fire would still be up there and the other half of th...
