ch 12
Hey im piggy. After I died, I stayed and watched over the island and Ralph. Soon after my death, Ralph had to hide in the thicket to survive. Sameric were tied up and basically forced into jack’s tribe. Now Ralph is alone. Although Im worried about him, im glad that sameric are looking out for him by giving him meat. Since I died, I kept a close watch on jack’s tribe to figure out what they might do. Roger got one of the twins to tell him where Ralph was hiding and now they are going to go hunt for him. First they pushed rocks off the cliff and onto the thicket then they lit the thicket on fire using my glasses! Ralph rushed through the forest and when he got to the beach, there was a naval officer there. I couldn’t believe I had died and a short time after they were rescued. I could have seen my auntie again. Percival couldn’t remember his name for some odd reason and jack didn’t protest when Ralph said he was the one in charge. The naval officer seemed upset with the boys when he found out me and Simon were killed.

ch 8/ ch 9
The most horrific scene in chapter 8 was when the Lord of The Flies was talking to Simon. When I read this chapter, I thought it was disgusting and I almost felt sick. The way the author had described the killing of the pig had upset me. It had been so graphic and visual that I could not help but see in my mind. It made me think that there would be more killing since the hunter and Jack could do this and not feel bad about killing a living thing. When Jack told his hunters to leave the head for the beast I was surprised. I didn’t think they still thought the dead pilot was the “beast”. This made me think that they were hallucinating and losing their grip on reality from being on the island to long. I wondered how Simon, who had seemed so reasonable in the beginning of the book, became delusional and secretive. When the pig head on the stick, "Lord of the Flies" said to Simon, "you can’t kill me. I’m part of you." It made me think about what that part was. It turned out to be fear, evil, the power to kill, darkness, and many more.

ch 7 Shadows and Tall Trees
Shadows and Tall Trees
Whats that in between the rocks?
Perspective: Jack
Ralph almost kills a pig and they act it out and Robert was the pig. The mood was excitement and they were chanting “Kill the pig, Cut his throat, Kill the pig, Bash him in.”
I said we should use s littleun since they’re useless to us. This would foreshadow neglect to the littleuns.
The boys found a creature in the gap in between the rocks on the mountains. The creature they found did not look like the beast Sam n Eric described. This shows they are gullible.
I only hate him because he is the leader and I’m tired of his stupid rules and hearing about the fire and how it's soooo important.
What’s the use? I mean he would only make fun of me for it. There’s no point.

Lord of the Flies
Beast from Air
“What’s that falling from the sky?!”
Perspective: Piggy
What sign comes down from the grown up world?
A pilot gets shot down from the sky and lands on the island.
Why aren’t the boys aware of it?
They were asleep.
Why are Sam ‘n Eric so terrified?
They thought they saw the beast when they really saw a dead man.
How do Sam ‘n Eric describe the beast?
It has wings, claws, and sharp teeth. I think they just let their imagination run.
What is the attitude of the boys when going off to look for the beast?
They want to go hunt and look for it but Ralph wants them to have a game plan first.
Is there really a beast? How do you know?
I don’t think there really is a beast. I think they just let their minds run. I don’t think there even is a beast. We’ve never seen one before on the island.
