I think that Ralph and Piggy were having a pretty good discussion. I think that Piggy was wrong though because it was entirely Jack fault for my death because he should have been paying attention to what he was spearing.I thank Ralph for sticking up for me and recognizing that Jack MURDERED me. Piggy thinks it was an accident but you just don't kill some random thing in the Forrest.

Jacks rule of his tribe is to keep looking for the beast even though he thought Simon was the beast. What he did to Wilfred was really mean. He beat him up and he tied him up. that was truly wrong to do to those boys when they didn't do anything to Jack. Also Jacks plans with Maurice and roger where just evil. He planned to go to the other boys camp and steal Piggy's glasses. He wanted to steal them to make a fire for his tribe but if he is such a good leader why cant he do that without stealing and idea from someone else.

So after this I saw that Jack and his tribe invaded Ralphs tribe and stole Piggy's glasses. Since jack now has the fire he has pretty much everything except the conch. He has a huge power now and that is not good for Ralph and Piggy and them. I think that this will also lead to more bad things involving Jack and Ralph. I have a bad feeling that Jack and Ralph are going to grow farther appart.

LOTF: chapters 8 and 9




In these scenes Jack and the hunters create “ The Gift” and Simon talks to it. These scenes were the most terrifying to me because in the first scene the author describes it in detail and it talks about a lot of blood and it describes the head of the pig being cut off. In the second scene Simon is talking to a pig head on a stick and what’s more terrifying than a little boy talking to a pig head? The first scene was kind of weird because they cut of the pig head for a reason. That reason was to keep the beast away from them and make it be nice to them. They kind of saw it as a gift to the beast. But in this scene the author really describes the pig’s head getting cut off and the killing of the pig in great detail. In the second scene it was very weird and it was kind of like Simon was hallucinating. He though that the pig was talking to him. Some of the things he thought the pig said were: “ Im in your head you can’t kill me” and “ I am inside you I am the beast”. This showed us three things. One that the lord of the flies is the beast. Two something dark is going to happen. Three that Simon was going a little crazy.

I believe that Jack is 75% responsible for Simons death the other 25% is the storm. I believe this because in the book it says that jack started spearing the beast who was saying something about a dead man on top of the mountain. This shows that Simon was the beast because he had just seen a dead man on top of the mountain. I also think it was th storm because the boys were scared of the storm so they just freaked out and killed whatever popped out of the forest no even knowing what is was. I think this because Simon popped out of the bushes exactly when the dead aviator floated through the air whish frightened the boys. These are the reasons I think that Jack and the storm were responsible for Simons death.

Piggy
Aziza P.

What is the game the boys play after spearing the pig? Who spears the pig? Describe the mood of the boys afterward.
The boys play a game were someone acts like they are the pig and they pretend to kill the pig. In the game Robert pretends to be the pig. Ralph spears the pig but he just hits him he doesn't actually kill the pig. After that the boys were kind of scared but they were determined to find the beast.

Jack suggests, “You could get someone to dress up as a pig and then he could act, you know, pretend to knock me over and all that.” Robert said that they need a real pig because it has to be killed. What does Jack suggest as a substitute? What does this foreshadow?
Jack suggests to use a littlun. This foreshadows that maybe someday Jack will try to really kill a littlun.

What evidence did the boys find to prove that there is a beast? (Why are they so gullible?)
The boys found the aviator. The aviator was moving with the wind and they thought that is was a real monster. The boys are gullible because they are all scared of the beast and they don't want it to be real.

How do you feel about the game the boys play after spearing the pig?
I think that the game that the boys play is kind of dumb. All they are doing is re acting the killing the pig and I think that is kind of stupid.

Sign from Adults

Ralph

Aziza P.

1. What sign comes down from the grown up world?

The sign that comes down from the grown up world is an aviator that was attatched to a parachute. We are not sure if he is dead or just unconcous but Sam and Eric are claiming that it's the beast.

2. Why aren't the boys aware of it?

The boys are'nt aware of the aviator falling from the sky because they were paying attention to themselfs and they weren't paying attenton to their surroundings.

3. Why are Sam 'n Eric so terrified?

Sam and Eric are terrified because they were the ones who saw the aviator come down from the sky and they saw him as he dropped on to the side of the mountain.

4. How do Sam 'n Eric discribe the Beast?

They say that the beast has claws and sharp teeth. They also said that it had wings. They were just over reacting because they are little and they switch around what they see.

5. What was the attitude of the boys when going off to look for the beast?

Well The littluns were pretty scared because they are little and scared of the beast. Ralph was scared but he didnt show it. H e acted cautoned and clm. Jack was impulsive and dangerous like he was ready to fight and kill the beast.

6. Is there really a beast? How do you know?

I don't think that there is beast because the aviator obviously wasn't the beast. I think that the kids were just making up that they saw the beast.

7. Do you feel that you are still the strongest leader on this island?

Yes, I think I am still the strongest leader on the island because I am a good leader and i know what we need the most to survive on this island.

8. What kind of pressures and stress do you feel as the leader responsible for the boys?

I have alot of pressure because I have to make sure the boys do their jobs and follow the rules and they haven't been listening to me lately.

9. Do you like being a leader?

Ya I like being the leader but I have alot of responsibilities and it is kind of stressful sometimes when the boys don't listen to me.
