Chapter 5


 
Dear Diary,
   
      Today I decided to call a meeting. It was time to straighten out the others for not upholding the groups rules. When they came I started yelling at them. They weren't of any assistance in building shelters, they do not gather drinking water, they neglect the signal fire, and they do not even use the designated toilet area. The hunters on the other hand must remember to keep that fire going, I don’t want to ever see another chance like this go to waste.
 
     Subsequently, the littluns are plagued by nightmare visions. I told them there are no monsters on the island. One of the littluns speaks up and claims that he has actually seen a beast. I asked him where it would hide during the day. He responded," it might come up from the ocean at night."
 
     This makes me feel that that the boy is telling the truth however, I don’t know if it's true. I mean it terrifies all the boys. Jack stepped in and said he and his hunters will hunt it down and kill it. But is it possible?
 
~ Ralph

Symbols

     The conch shell symbolizes civilization. It is used to hear the ideas of the boys without anyone talking or interrupting that person. The boys use it so that they can act civilized. They call meeting on the island with the conch at the platform. With this there is a way that everyone can talk and argue his or her case.        The beastie symbolizes fear. It comes to us as a snake-like animal. Although we have never seen it in the book, rather than with the actions of the boys, and how they act . We are introduced to it by the boy with the mulberry mark on his face. Jack uses fear to scare piggy/make him feel weak.         The fire symbolizes hope for the boys. The boys hope to get rescued on the island so they set a signal fire at the top of the mountain. With all the boys went through, the only have their faith in each other and that light at the top of the hill to get rescued....

Dear Diary,      Piggy and I went to the feast so that we would be able to keep some control over events. At the feast, the boys were enjoying themselves laughing and eating the roasted pig. Jack was sitting in a big chair like a throne languidly issuing commands. I don’t know what is going on with Jack. Was he really that jealous of me.        Jack extended an invitation to all of the remaining followers to join his tribe. Most of them accepted, my attempts of trying to persuade them to stay was a failure. What I the world is going through his mind right now?      I t started to rain, an idea came up in mind. How will they shelter themselves from rain. I asked jack how he plans to weather the storm without any shelter. In response, Jack orders his tribe to do its wild hunting dance. A couple minutes goes by and the beast comes. Jack and the others kill it gruesomely it. They were acting like beast themse...

Final Blog Entry

Monday, May 01, 2017 5:00 AM   Write a short story (at least 5 paragraphs) about what happened after Ralph looked up and saw the naval officer.   What happened?   Did they go back home?   Are their parents alive?   Is Jack punished?   Use your imagination, but remember to write it as a short story NOT as an essay.       I came upon the beach I fell of exhaustion, luckily a naval officer rescued me from a near death experience. Whew, it is good to be alive. We were on the ship going home. The Captain fed us some chicken and broccoli. It was so good.   When I had gotten to the US my mom heard we were rescued. She had come and hugged me. She told me she was at grandma's house. When I got home We had a big feat and gues what. My dad came home.   I had told my father about my experiences on the island. How I was chief, and was making sure we were able to survive. I told him about Jack, the boy who wa...
