Blog 14 - Revision of "Blog 8 - Separation"

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.
