Chapter 8


Dear Diary,
    The next morning, we brought news about the monster to the other children on the island. The boys were  in a state of confusion as they had begun to drift towards the platform where we held meetings.

    Piggy who was not on the mountain the night before was baffled by what we had to say about the monster. The night we had went up we came back down within a minute of seeing the beast. It had sharp claws and teeth big eyes and wings. It scared half of us to death. You had to be there to feel its eerie presence.

     Jack goes from telling the others that there is a beast on the mountain to calling me a coward. He is envious of me leading the children and attempts to have me impeached. The other boys refuse to vote me out of power. In doing so, Jack stormed away from the group.

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.

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...
