As I crawl out of my secret spot I see all of the spilled guts just laying there as if put there for a meal. The head stuck on the stick is staring at me. The eyes were staring steadfast at me. The blood from the pig trickled onto the ground. The ground became bloody and red while the sand around it sucked the blood just like a towel with water.
She starts to talk and tells me, "I am just a silly little boy."
I thought she was just my imagination but I tried so hard to forget about her that she wouldn't go away and leave my mind.
I was tremulous when the, "Lord of the Flies" spoke to me. She talked about how we thought that the beastie was real and that we could kill it. She said that the beastie is us, is our inner self and we can not get rid of the idea because it is in us all. The corruption in our group is tremendous because of Jack trying to over rule Ralph and the beastie craze by the fire. Before I felt dizzy she said, "They will do you in! Do not go back to the others."
And yet I did not listen because the faint feeling in my gut made my surroundings spin slowly at first but then rapid. Then BOOM everythin turned pitch black and I had fainted.
Once I woke up the sky was turning dark as if I lay there for several hours. I start to walk up the mountain curious to see the beastie. Remembering of what she said. Once I come upon the top I see a figure just moving back and forth because the wind is pushing it. I walk up closer to see what it is. A man just sitting against the rocks with the parachute stuck in between. I feel bad for him so I unhooked his parachute to let him free. His corpse just sat there and I stare until it hits me. The Beastie isn't real. It was a dead mans corpse just swaying back and forth. I have to tell the rest of the group. I look around to see were the group has gone. I have to find them as soon as possible. I see smoke by the ocean. They most have moved the fire down there so it would be easier for them. I ran as fast as I could, to go and tell them but I could only stagger down. I got stuck in the bushes and festoons so I had to crawl on the ground. Once I came out of the bushes I started to yell at them saying that the beastie wasn't real but then they attacked me. The horrible biteing, scratching and the torture. Then the white bright light.

Blog 13 - Revision of "Blog 7 - The Black Night"
Walking down the forest, following my leaders Jack and Ralph. They were talking in an uncompromisable manner. Jack saw many little pig tracks and decided to follow them as a side task which was just mostly for our entertainment. He asked the rest of the group if they wanted to follow it as well. Everyone agreed to go but it was just a side task. Besides we need to prepare for the Beastie. We followed the tracks and finally caught up to the pig. When we saw it, Ralph had thrown his spear for the excitement which got into his head. The pig got away, but then Jack still wanted to play. Instead of a pig he plays with one the boys, Robert. Jack was really rough while playing the game. I wanted to join so bad. So I shoved my way into the front and started to poke at Robert. I was thinking, "Was I blundered when I started to poke Robert?" Then a few moments later, "No I think I was conscious when I had started poking him." When Jack finally stopped, Robert was sniveling. Robert walked away and used the crowd of boys to covert. Ralph looked infuriated at Jack for torturing Robert like that. Ralph was trying to act sagely and smart, but I think he is stupid, useless and not needed. We finally stopped talking and followed the way we were going earlier.
We walked to an area with many ditches and holes. Jack teased Ralph to make him go along. When Ralph actually agreed I didn't trust him so I followed them from behind. When we walked up the mountain it felt like it would go on for an infinite amount of time because it was so dark and I couldn't see past at least 5 feet ahead. When Jack went further to check I just sat on a log and stayed quiet. Ralph just sat next to me. I thought that he wasn't a good leader and Jack is best fit for the job. When Jack came running up to us I thought that he was being chased by the beast and I was ready to run.
He made us go close and check it out. I was scared to see the beastie. Once we saw it all three of us ran back to the rest of the boys. We were frightened.

Blog 11 - Wild Boys
Our ships captain and I saw a big cloud of smoke coming from an island and so we decided we should go check it out and see if there are any people stranded. When we got to the beaches shallowest part we could go to, the sailors heaved the anchor over the ship. We made anchor near the shore. The beach was clear but the vibrant flames beaming up were so frightening that I wouldn't expect anyone to be here or even alive. I visualized that there were people living here and made a fire but there was an accident were the fire could have gotten out of control. Once I came down from the ship I stepped onto the beach and stood there staring at the fire. Then I heard ululations coming from within the forest. A boy came tumbling out of the forest as if he was running from something dangerous. Behind him was a big line of boys with spears looking like savages. The boys cowered back. They seemed frightened at the sight of seeing me. I asked, "Who is the leader?" The boy in front of me said, "I am!" He said it we a proud but nervous voice. I asked him to then elaborate on what is happening with the fire and the dirty boys. They were all messy and not dressed as they should. Apparently they have been on this island for several months with no adults, they haven't brushed their teeth, or bathe with soap.

Blog 10 - Castle Rock
We walk back and forth bringing the fire wood to the newly made fire on the beach. Our exhaustion made us so tired we collapsed and fell on the beach on our last trip back from the forest. The day became night as we relaxed on the beach. We both stayed in a hut along with Ralph and Piggy. It was dark the moon shined brightly and we said our good nights.
"Sam," said Eric.
"Yes," answered Sam,
"Good night!"
"Sweet dreams-"
"Don't let the-"
"Bed bugs-"
"Bite!" said SamnEric.
Ralph just said, "Good night guys."
The cold breeze hit us and we huddled together to get warmth. The trees and branches shake and move to make noises at night. Ralph heard different noises and tells Piggy to be quiet and shut up but Piggy had an asthma attack. We all heard whispers through the few minutes until the attack. Jack and his hunters started to call Piggy and they made it seem as if it was the beastie calling for prey. They finally stopped and came into our hut. Ralph was fighting someone but we did not know who. We were fighting as well but who?After the fight they ran away and had taken Piggy's glasses. The next morning Ralph and Piggy wanted to confront Jack about the glasses and the fire. So we set off to castle rock the home of the Savages.
The walk over there was frightening. We all walked together, the remaining few. The cliffs and rocks seemed sharp so we stayed close to each other hoping not to fall at all. When we got to the front of Castle Rock, Roger one of the guards said, "Who goes there?"
Ralph replied, "You know who I am!" But Roger still refused to let them in. Ralph asked where Jack was and they said that he was hunting another pig for a feast again. But as soon as we knew it Jack came running towards us with his hunters and spears. Ralph and Jack talked for a little but the Ralph called Jack a thief and sparked a fight. They were fighting with their spears and stabbing each other. Jack got Ralph in the ribs. The fight was very intense. After the fight they were still yelling. Jack told his hunters to get us. They surrounded us and tied us up together. Piggy started to plead to speak but everyone said, "BOO!!" Roger who was on the top of Castle Rock was next to a big bolder that was propped up on the ledge. Roger got so mad at Piggy that he pulled the lever and the big bolder hit Piggy and broke the conch. Piggy flew up in the air and hit the rocks in the water near the cliffs. His head was cracked open and started to bleed with his bloody brains coming out. The blood went into the water and it turned into a dark red at first but then a light pink color. That sight was horrifying to watch. After Ralph saw what happened to Piggy he ran for his life leaving us behind with Jack and the Savages. Once Ralph was gone Jack's Savages took us into the fort and Jack started to threaten us. If we didn't join his tribe we would get hurt.
We said, "That is-"
"Not the-"
"Right way!"
And Jack said, "What is not the right way?"
"You shouldn't-"
"Threaten us."
Roger started to step into the conversationa and took over. He threatened us even more.
"Sam," said Eric.
"Yes," answered Sam,
"Good night!"
"Sweet dreams-"
"Don't let the-"
"Bed bugs-"
"Bite!" said SamnEric.

Blog 9 - Lively Death
The day after the feast I thought about how they had killed a boy who was my friend, Simon. I turned to Ralph and told him of how it was just an accident even though i knew it wasn't. He denied what I was saying and kept on saying we did this, we did this not by accident but on purpose. I kept saying to myself that it was his fault he is now dead. But that does not change the fact he is gone. I was starting to shudder because of the cold rain coming down. He was making gesticulate gestures while talking in our conversation. Simon was smother by a crowd of boys with many sharp sticks which they used to stifle him. The phosphorescent light gleamed on my glasses when I wiped them on my shorts. The bloody image of Simon still seems alive in my head. The day went by fast with the thoughts of Simon flashing as if a movie in my head.
The dark sky and rain made the night unbearable. Ralph, SamnEric and I stayed in one of the huts while the littluns that still remained stayed in the others. Ralph started to hear a noise and tried to make me quiet but my asthma made me panicky and it was hard to breath. Then monsters came into our tent. They punched, kicked, and stole my glasses. I was pushed into a corner of the hut and Ralph was fighting someone or somthing. SamnEric were also fighting someone but who really knew. Ralph said that it was Jack and his hunters. Ralph asked if I was okay and I was but I could not see as clearly. They took my glasses but we do not know why they would do such a thing.

Blog 8 - Separation
As I crawl out of my secret spot I see all of the spilled guts just laying there. The head stuck on the stick is staring at me. The eyes were staring steadfast at me. The blood from the pig trickled onto the ground. She starts to talk and tells me that I am just a silly little boy. I was tremulous when the, "Lord of the Flies" spoke to me. She talked about how we thought that the beastie was real and that we could kill it. She said that the beastie is us, is our inner self and we can not get rid of the idea because it is in us all. The corruption in our group is tremendous because of Jack trying to over rule Ralph and the beastie craze by the fire. Finally when she finished talking to me the area around started spinning and I fainted.
Once I woke up the sky was turning dark as if I lay there for several hours. I start to walk up the mountain curious to see the beastie. Once I come upon the top I see a figure just moving back and forth because the wind is pushing it. I walk up closer to see what it is. A man just sitting against the rocks with the parachute stuck. I feel bad for him so I unhooked his parachute to let him free. His corpse just sit there and i stare until it hits me. The Beastie isn't real. It was just a dead mans corpse just swaying back and forth. I have to tell the rest of the group. I look around to see were the group has gone. I have to find them as soon as possible. I see smoke by the ocean. They most have moved the fire down there so it would be easier for them. I ran as fast as I could to go and tell them but I could only stagger down. I got stuck and had to crawl on the ground. Once I came out of the bushes I started to tell them that the beastie wasn't real but then they attacked me.
