A Good Day

Lord of the Flies
Chapter 1: The Sound of the Shell
Character: Simon





Today has been a good day so far. There was a plane crash today that all of the boys survived. The adults didn’t survive so we had to elect a leader. I thought of the idea of a vote because everybody was shouting out names. I am very shy on the island, hardly speaking and thinking most of the time. I feel bad for Piggy because everyone makes fun of him. Ralph was rude to name him Piggy. I think that the little ones are in trouble because nobody cares for them. I think that we should have and elected group of people to take care of them. Ralph took me on an adventure with him and Jack. It was very cool to look around the island from the top of the mountain because you could see were the plane came down and the jungle below. The island is a very beautiful place but I hope that we get rescued soon. Hunger will become a very important issue on the island unless we find some order in getting the food. We will run out of fruit if we all eat it so we need to find a different food source. Hopefully tomorrow we will have shelters built.
