Chapter 8

Chapter 8- Gift for the Darkness
Character- Simon

What happened today was that Ralph, Jack and Roger actually saw the beast. Then Jack thinks we can defeat the beast. Ralph says its only boys armed with sticks. I guess Ralph crossed the line when he said that, because you should have seen the face Jack had on. He was definitely pissed, all the blood went to his cheeks and his tone of voice changed. Jack called up a meeting about how Ralph was a coward back up the mountain. It was like Jack was trying to convince everyone that Ralph isnt a strong leader so they need himself to be leader. Then at the end he wanted a vote to see if any one didn't want Ralph as a leader anymore. The boys were silent, Jack was embarrassed at that moment he was opposite of demure. He decides leaving us and that we have to get our own meat and that who ever wants to hunt can join him. It feels like theres going to be a taboo about something now. Now that there really is a beast and since my prediction was that the beast was only us. I wanted to go up the mountain myself to see if there really is a beast. I don't really care if they saw it I think that they just thought it was the beast because there were all so afraid of it. Piggy suggest that we don't have to make a fire up there in the mountain but we can make a fire down at the beach. Only someone like Piggy would suggest we should make a fire on the beach. So now they're working on the fire but I wanna see if there is a beast so I walk away. While I'm in the woods I hear something. It sounded like Jack. I didn't know that many boys joined him after he left. I see that they found a pig. I was going to walk up and ask but then they start to attack the sow. Wow that pig sure can fight back. Now that they killed the pig they paunched the pig. There were gouts of blood everywhere. Its like Jacks personality was demoniac. They start to rip the guts off and but it on a rock. Then they took the pig head an put it on a stick. Now that the hunters and Jack are gone I walk up to the pig head. That think looked so nasty. I tried to think that it was fake and it was all in my mind but every time I close my eyes shut and open them, the pig head is still there. There were so many flies on it. I decided to call it Lord Of the Flies. Jack said that the head was for the beast but I asked myself if the beast would get it. Then the beasts start talking to me on how I should go back. It said that if I don't they would kill me. He listed out the names who would. Jack, Ralph, Piggy, Maurice, Roger, Bill and more. I didn't listen. It also said to not put the pig head on my head. But I didn't listen. So I did.

Chapter 7- Shadows and Tall Trees
Character- Jack
All we did today really was look for the pig run. After a couple hard hours of looking, Roger says that he found something. He pointed at somthing towards the ground so i knet down and looked at it. It was pig droppings that were still steaming. Wow was I Brumy excited. Then just in case Ralph was going to ask something, I say we need meat even if were hunting something else. He agrees with me that we do need meat so he let us hunt. While we were walking I guess Ralph was day dreaming for a while and that the other boys did all they can to not step on pig poop. Then I guess the daydreamer finally snapped out of what he was dreaming about and, found a boar in the bushes. Then he threw his wooden stick at its snout he wasn't even thinking of catching it, his actions were only bravado. When I heard it squeal, I ran over to where ralph was It definitely got angry and started to attack us. Everyone started to run and hide from it. Then Ralph was so happy that he hit the boar. I told him that he got away. Then all of us angrily yell at Ralph, "WHY DIDNT YOU GRAB THE BOAR!!" That boar would have been so much meat. I find that I have a wound that the boar gave me with its tusks. Simon said I should suck the wound sagely so I did. Then he reenacts the way he threw the stick with Robert being the boar. We all got carried away and I decide to make a ring. Guess we all started to hurt him a little but we didn't notice. We chanted the words we chanted when I killed a pig. “Kill the pig! Cut his throat! Kill the pig! Bash him in!” Ralph says after the game that was badly hurt playing rugger once.Back to what happened, we were all walking to the mountain. Maurice suggests we should go back to Piggy before its dark, Ralph suggests that we should start the fire again. But I pointed out that we don't have Piggy's specs. After a little thinking Ralph suggests we should go back now. I knew it would have taken hours. I mocked him and said “We mustn't let anything happen to Piggy, must we?” Now we had to keep going so we're just going to let one person go back and tell Piggy that we'll be back after dark. Ralph asks me if I went to castle rock before. I told him I did and he asks me what I found. I say I found a pig-run that went on for miles. He thinks the pig run should end up somewhere there. So we just keep going until we find the pig run.Now we were going up this mountain. I was scared a little but I tried not to show that. I say that I'm going up the mountain to look for the beast now. Wow I can't believe I said that. So now I go on with my steps going side by side. Since It was only me and Ralph going Ralph suggest that its silly for only two to go. He said if we find anything two won't be enough. So Roger volunteers to be our third. We keep going and I see something on top. Roger thinks it a frog and I say It can't be a frog if I saw it bulged. Ralph was ahead was just looking up ahead like he was windy. I whisper into his ear, “Scared?” Sometimes teasing people can be a great motivator. We all see something at the top now. In front of us a couple yards away there was this hump. We knew something was there sleeping maybe. We were walking to it. It didn't hear us walking like it was impervious. Then it moved its head. It was just the three of us and that thing.
