Lord of the Flies

Simon's Journal

When I started to look around and try to find out where we where, I didn't know what to expect. My face was full with pallor, I thought we got shot down because I saw no one in sight. I started to venture more to find anyone, I looked down and past couple of trees was a beach, the motif of the landscape was beautiful. Then I met a lot more people who were all about my age so we stood close. There was one person in particular that stood out his name was Jack he seemed to stand out because he seemed to be the leader. Then we heard a loud noise so we followed it until we found the source of it. He was a boy probably a few years younger than me, but he didn't act like it, he had much more effulgence than younger boys. Beside him was a fat boy and a bunch of young boys. The skinny boy's name was Ralph, the fat boys name was Piggy, which bought sniggers to the boys when we heard his name. Then someone proffered that we should have a chief, I was very incredulous about Jack being chief but I picked him anyway. Even though Ralph became chief, he appointed Jack head of the hunters. Then Jack, Ralph, and I went on a quick adventure to see if we were on an island we encountered a wild pig. Jack was the leader of the hunters, so it was his job, but he couldn't do it. We found out it was a island so we have to come up with ideas soon or we may never leave this island.
