RESCUED

Lord of the Flies

Chapter 12: Cry of the Hunters

Perspective: Jack

Today was a great day. I fought of Ralph so he went to go hide. The tribe had meat. The pig had tasted good. Piggy died and the conch was destroyed which was a great joy for me. Yes, Piggy is finally dead and Ralph has no power. Ralph ran into the forest.

We planned to hunt him the next day. Samneric told us that he was hiding in the creepers. We rolled a big red rock toward the sea to scare him. He got out of the thicket and started to run towards the beach. I was so excited that Ralph had started to run away.

We followed Ralph onto the beach. A naval officer was there. I thought of Piggy's brains spilling out of his head. The naval officer asked how many had died and Ralph said two. I was so relieved that Ralph had not giving me up for killing both of them. I suddenly felt sorry for him. IT WAS GREAT TO FINALLY GET RESCUED. I do wish I had gotten to kill Ralph before we left the island though.

Chapter 11: Castle Rock
Perspective: Ralph

Today was a tragic day. I decided that we should all go over to Castle Rock to confront Jack. That turned out to be a really bad idea. We went with spears. We only had four people come over. It was crazy. They stopped us at the gate to castle rock. Jack came out of the forest from hunting.

He confronted me about coming over there. I said, “That fire is never going to get us rescued; that is a cooking fire, not a signal fire.” After that comment Jack and I started fighting with our spears. He ordered for Samneric to be captured. Piggy yelled so he could speak.

He said that he should be able to speak because he had the conch. I heard the rock before I saw it. Roger had pulled the lever. It rolled down and I dove out of the way. It ran over Piggy and he fell off the cliff. By the time I went to look at him the wave had taken him.

Chapter 10: The Shell and the Glasses

Perspective: Piggy

Today was an okay day. We just saw and participated in Simon's death. We all got injured during that. I really miss Simon. I am very sorry that I killed him and I really wish that Simon would have been smarter and had not come in at night. They would not think that he was the beast.

I saw Samneric coming out of the forest with a log. I went over and lit the fire so that we can get rescued. I went over to talk to Samneric. They said that they left the party early and so did we and Ralph and I said we left early to. We didn't want to admit that we were part of the group that had killed Simon.

Later that night, Jack came over and tried to steal something. He was fighting us. Samneric kicked one of the people in the nuts. It must of hurt. They were punching and kicking us. It was a good fight and I think that nobody will come back after what we did to them. I then realized that they had tried to steal some fire.

Chapter 9: A View to a Death

Perspective: Simon

Today was a great day. I found out what the beastie was. It is a dead parachutist that is on top of the mountain. I got tired because I had had no water in a day. When I came down I was stumbling. It was very harsh to walk around after having no water. All I could do is stumble and then I would fall. I made my way back to camp, and saw that they had moved camps. It was a horrible walk back to camp.

That is when everything changed. I started to scrape my knees from falling so many times. I finally began to get close to camp and realized that Jack, Piggy, and Ralph were in a fight. I got a coconut shell and drank the whole thing in a matter of seconds, and then they saw me and started to sing, “Kill the Beast, Spill His Blood.” Then the hunters started to comes near me with their sharp sticks. They started jabbing me and I thought it was a game. I started to lose consciousness and blacked out.

I DIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
