1. Do you think this is a good island or a bad island?

We I think this island is kin o in the middle of good and bad because the island seems to have a lot of ebullience and the only bad thing so far that we have heard of on this island is about the beastie (snake thing). It’s probably about to be bad though knowing that we don’t really know how to put out a fire.

2. What is the beastie?

The beastie is the snake thingy that the little boy with the scar claimed to see. He said he saw it in the woods.

3. What does it symbolize?

The beastie symbolizes that there might b more wild animals out in the forest and that something bad might happen concerning the beastie.

4. How does it make you feel?

The beastie makes me feel kind of uncomfortable since I’m the leader of all of the boys and I would want anything to happen to any of them. I hope that Jack, this time, can catch the snake so we can have some food. Then we wouldn’t have anything to worry about.

5. What is your plan for being rescued?

Well we had planned to start a fire so that maybe a search plane or a ship would see us and come and rescue us but now the fire has gone huge and out of control so I don’t know what we are going to do now.

6. Do you want to be rescued?

Yes, We want to be rescued because even though it was probably cool at first to be without our parents but now that we have been here for a couple of days we realize that it is hard to survive on a deserted island with no adults.

7. How did you start a fire and what happens to the fire?

We made the fire by using Piggy’s glasses. We induced him to let us use them. Well actually we pinched them from him. We held them to the light and when the beam of light shined through to the wood and stuff that we got from the forest the fire started. But after a while the wind started blowing and the fire got bigger and bigger and bigger.

8. What happened to the little boy with a mark on his face?

The little boy with the mark on his face was down in the woods when the fire started spreading so we don’t know if he is okay o no but we really hope he is.

9. How are you different from all the other boys?

I am different from all of the other boys because first o all I am the leader of all of the boys so I have a bigger responsibility. Also I am fit to be a leader because I have the conch and i was there when Piggy found the conch.

10. As you go to bed each night, what is going through your head? Are you afraid, excited, indifferent…? What’s going on inside of your head?

As I go to bed each night I have lots of things on my mind. Since I am the leader I have to think about how we are going to get food. How we are going to get rescued. What could be in the forest? Tonight in particular I am thinking about the fire and if we are going to be let on this island, martyred, forever. I am also wondering I the boy with the scar I gone forever or if he is okay. But each night I’m definitely not capering each night.
