Blog 7 - The Black Night

Walking down the forest, following my leader Jack and Ralph. They were talking in and uncompromisable manner. Jack saw little pig tracks and decided to follow as a side task. He asked the rest of the group. 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 threw his spear for the excitement got to him. The pig got away, but then Jack still wanted to play but 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 to the front and started to poke Robert. I was thinking, "Is this a blunder thing to do?" When Jack finally stopped Robert was sniveling. Robert walked away and went to covert himself into the crowd of boys. Ralph looked infuriated at Jack for torturing Robert like that. Ralph was trying to act sagely and smart but I think he is stupid and we don't need him. We finally stop 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 come along. When Ralph actually agreed I didn't trust him so I followed them. When we walked up the mountain it felt like it would go on for infinate amount of time because it was so dark I couldn't see past at least 5 feet ahead. When Jack went futher 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.

Blog Quest - Quotes

Piggy: "We can use this to call the others. Have a meeting. They’ll come when they hear us."

This relates to the bigger story because this is how everyone got together and finally became a group or civilization. It is the beginning of their new adventure. They started out all separated and scattered around but when Piggy suggested to Ralph to use a shell (conch) to call the other boys that's when it all started with the groups of the littluns and bigguns. The conch symbolizes the law and order of the adult world which Piggy is trying to keep in the boys minds. It is also authority.


Ralph: "There’s another thing. We can help them to find us. If a ship comes near the island they may not notice us. So we must make smoke on top of the mountain. We must make a fire."

This was the start of hoping to be rescued. When Ralph said that the other boys agreed and hurried off to get it ready. When they made the fire they had high hopes of being rescued and not staying on the island for long. The fire symbolizes the last hope of the guys being rescued. To Piggy and Ralph the fire is the moral influence of their life in England.

Blog Quest - Significant Scenes

Ralph is just hanging around with Simon and Piggy. They are sitting on the beach then ralph see's a ship going by the island. It's significant to me because seeing a ship is some times exciting but in their case it is very because they want to be rescued. It is significant for the story because the hole point is to be rescused and go home to their families. The ship can help them be rescued.

Simon helped the littuns by reaching for the fruit that they can not get and gives it to them. Then he walks to an area that is kind of like a small hut or tent. Simon is sitting in a plain grounded area and is surrounded by nature like animals, trees, bushes, and leaves. He just sits there thinking.The picture of Simon sitting in the middle of a plain space surrounded by nature is significant to me because I love nature and think its one of the most important thing we need in this world.It is significant to the story because this shows us the real Simon who represents a good kindness in a human. He helps for the good of the community and for the other kids.

PIGGED OUT

By: Sheryl

(Verse 1:)
Sitting here at night
Thinking 'bout you all alone
Wondering where are instincts were wrong
Got a confession to make...
Since you made me confused
Now all i can do is hurt
When you left you took my spear
Got a confession to make...

(chorus x2)

(Chorus:)
I'm pigged out (without your meat)
pigged out (yes, I've had enough)
pigged out
I don't know what to say
I've never felt this way

(chorus x2)

(Chorus:)
I'm pigged out (without your meat)
pigged out (yes, I've had enough)
pigged out
I don't know what to say
I've never felt this way

(Verse 2:)
Now We had something so tasty
I realised It meant nothing to you
I guess you thought I was your fool
Got a confession to make...
Now I realise the truth
I don't want anything to do wit yo meat
It's just the way I was attracted to it
Got a confession to make...

(chorus x2)

(Chorus:)
I'm pigged out (without your meat)
pigged out (yes, I've had enough)
pigged out
I don't know what to say
I've never felt this way

(chorus x2)

(Chorus:)
I'm pigged out (without your meat)
pigged out (yes, I've had enough)
pigged out
I don't know what to say
I've never felt this way

It's kind of to the song,

Simon Singing

By: Sheryl

Simon singing
Simon swinging
through the trees
and through the breeze

Huddled in a ball hoping not to fall
showing the kindness by picking the fruits
giving a helping hand to a few

Lonely Simon
Wanders into the jungle thinking as the breeze jingles
hiding on trees to spend time alone

Simon singing
Simon swinging
through the trees
and through the breeze

Brave Simon confronts the Beastie
Courageous Simon faces the danger
The truth he discovers
only to face the anger
of the boys afraid of danger

Simon singing
Simon thinking
through the trees
and through the breeze

Blog 5 - True Nature

The warm luminous sun reflects on my face. The shining sun is so bright and light. Water splashing around me in the warm reflective pool of water shows the wild side of life. It is exhilarating and sometimes a new adventure with the animals and living beings beneath the sea. The dark turquoise green makes the ocean seem like its calm and ready to relax along with the low tides that wash up on the shore. The soft vibrant sand in between my feet is so squishy and joyful. It’s like a message in the spa. It’s like walking in a soft plush carpet. The slow moving waves are just so calm and gentle with caring me out a little further with every wave. The waves sway as if on the dance floor dancing the waltz. Each wave is like hanging around your friends because they are cool and fun, and yet enjoyable and indefinable. But I then stand and walk towards the shore. The shore that keeps me warm while I lay there thinking. Lying in the warm sand gives a smooth tingle of entertainment. The bright blue sky just pops when I look up. The big, white and puffy clouds above show imaginary images.

Blog 4 - Savagery Or Our Real Lives

On one of those early mornings, I saw a mirage of people on top of the water. The afternoon heat was blinding and prickling our skin as we lay gathering fruits from the forest and lack of sleep at night. Most of the boys are scared during the night because some of the kids talked about the Beastie and whimpered at night. At night, it's so dark that it is so hard to even see your hand a few feet away, even when the moon is out. The wind shuffling the leaves make people think that the Beastie is coming out from the forest. I wonder if there's really a Beastie in the forest.

I sat there and talked to Piggy. We just talked about our order in the small civilizations we were trying to make, but then I see a small grey thing just in the middle of the ocean. I go speachless and stop talking. I then raise my hand up to point and I said, "Ship! Ship! Ship!" Once I said that everyone stopped to look to where I was pointing. There were some people that thought incredulously and said, "No! I don't see no ship! That is preposterous Ralph!" But yet I stood staring and staring until I moved and saw an opalescent ocean. When one of the boys saw it he made a shrill noise. Once he made the noise it snapped me into my senses. I turned around and saw that the fire was out and that there was no smoke. So I ran as fast as I could and kept on going without even looking back. When I got to the top Simon and Piggy were right behind me. When I stood there I thought I started to hear a chant. The hunters had captured a pig. I was to consumed with anger that I didn't even smile or say congratulations. What they were saying was irrelevant to the fact that I saw a ship that could have taken us home. Jack was just being malevolent towards Piggy. The implication that Jack put to Piggy's face wasn't that hard but yet made a sound I could not forget within the few minutes I was still on the mountain. I just wanted to punch him straight in his face and then I did. I punched him in the nose and he bleed.

Blog 3 - Jack's Attacks

There, I looked down and saw small footprints of animals that I want the most, the pigs. I followed the pig tracks and droppings on the ground. As I followed these tracks and droppings I wasn't paying much attention to the surroundings. As I kept walking the tendrils above had sharp barbs and whacked me in the face and I fell. I was lucky that the barbs were still small and growing. When I got back up I stood there wondering what the hell just happened. Suddenly the sounds of the pigs were very near and distinct. So I squatted on the floor and crawled towards the noise. I was trying to be furtive while catching the pigs. Behind a bush I saw the little squealing pigs running around their mother. I took a small step, but then I step on a small twig and it cracked loudly. The mother pig hears it and sets out a big squeal telling her kids to run for their life. I ran as fast as I can to try and catch a piglet. I jumped on one, but the pigs ran too fast for me. I landed face flat on the ground. Disappointed and unsuccessful I sighed loudly and returned to camp.

Walking through the trees and bushes I finally got back to the beach. Just to see that everyone is playing around in the bathing pool or relaxing on the beach. Ralph and Simon were the only two working on the shelters. I walked over to Ralph and Simon. Ralph was just standing on a tree trying to put palm leaves on the top of the roof, while Simon was inside trying to help fasten the leaves. I stood there and watched for a few and was laughing when the house fell apart. Making the house was oppressive because it was hard and kept falling apart.
Ralph asked me if I could help with the huts, but I said, "No, we need to catch a pig."
"Shelter is more important than a little pig."
"We want meat!"
"We do not need meat right at this moment. Anyways neither of your hunters nor yourself has caught a pig."
"Yet! But we will!" Then I was irritated and just left Ralph and Simon.
Simon had this inscrutable stare when he looked at me. I just walked to the glimmering beach of clear water and watched the other boys just fooling around. I looked around and at a distance I could see a male peacock flaunting his feathers to his mate. I was bewildered by the sight.

After I watched the other boys play around I went back into the forest to find the pigs again. I walked for about an hour but haven't seen a pig yet. I stumble upon Simon covered with a bunch of festoons. I just walked by ignoring like he was no one. So I kept on walking.....
