Dear Journal,
Today was a bad day. Jacks tribe tried killing me! The first place I hid was in this whole in the ground covered by many bushes and the only way they would have been able to see me was if they looked really close into the whole I was in.

I felt bad for SamnEric because the only reason they were in Jacks tribe was because he kidnapped them and forced them into his tribe. They were being really nice to me at first. They gave me a big chunk of meat and told me to go hide because at sunrise jack was going to go hunting for me. They diddled me into believing i could trust them. They told Jack where i was hidding.
The thing that roger had prepared for me was a spear with two sharp edges. At first I didn’t understand that when SamnEric told me, but now I know what he wanted to do, he was going to kill me, then cut my head of and offer it to the beast. The exact same thing he did to lord of the flies he wanted to do to me.
The way Jack flushed me from my hiding spot was he lit the whole island on fire! When he did that though, I ran, ran, and ran, all the way to the beach where I saw a naval officer. I couldn’t believe my eyes. when I saw him an there was a complete cessation and i was delirious in my running.
Once I stared talking to him Jack ended up on the island because
1. The island was lit on fire
2. He was chasing after me to kill me and offer me to the beastie.
The little boy who wasn’t able to remember his name was Percival.
I ended up taking responsibility for everything that had happened on the island because Jack did not speak up when the naval officer asked us, and because I was the actually leader all along. I felt that the naval officer was very disappointed in us because we were still acting like little kids all along, also because Jack killed Simon and Piggy :(

I think everyone is acting crazy on the island since I have been killed. Jack separated from Ralph’s tribe and made his own. No one at first wanted to be in his tribe. Until after I got killed everyone moved into the dark side, which I now understand better since the lord of the flies explained it to me.I feel the only good people who actually care about getting rescued is Ralph and Piggy. It’s really nice to know that Ralph and Piggy actually cared about me when I got killed. Jacks plan with Maurice and Roger was to send them to attack Piggy and Ralph. Also so they can steal their fire again. Jacks rule for his tribe is only to hunt! That’s all jack cares about is hunting and killing things. He doesn’t care if he is going to get rescued or not. Jacks rule for his tribe is not to leave him or not betray him.

I feel the person responsible for Simon’s death is Jack. I think that Jack is responsible for Simon’s death because he is part of the dark side in this book. He always wanted to go hunting, and kill things. He did not care about the little ones in the book at all. All that mattered to him was himself and if he was able to kill a pig. Such as in Chapter seven. All the boys were playing a game pretending Roger was a pig. All of the hunters circled around him yelling, “Kill the pig, cut his throat, and bash him in!” They then were poking Roger with the non-sharp end of their spheres. Once they were done with that Jack then said,”Why don’t we have a little one play the pig?” This meant that Jack wanted to sacrifice a little one, and that e does not care about anyone but himself.

Lets kill the beast!

Jack

What sign comes down from the grown up world?
- The sign that came down from the grown up world is the dead guy that flew down from the sky.

Why aren’t the boys aware of it?
- The boys weren’t aware of the beastie because they were sleeping

Why are Sam ‘n Eric so terrified?
- Sam and Eric were really terrified and waxy because they saw the beastie.

How do Sam ‘n Eric describe the beast?
- Sam and Erick described the beast to have claws, wings, and sharp teeth. They also said that the beastie was flailing through the tress chasing after them.

What is the attitude of the boys when going off to look for the beast?
- Their attitudes were all different and diffidently. I wanted everyone to come with me so we can hunt it then kill it. Piggy wanted to stay with the littluns and the shelter. Ralph wanted to come up with a game plan. I was embroiled that we are going to catch it.

Is there really a beast? How do you know?

Yes, there really is a leviathin/beastie. I know there is a beast because Sam and Eric have actually seen it. There's also tracks in this one spot of the island we haven't searched before.

BEAST FROM WATER
Beastie?

Why is an assembly called?
The assembly was called because everyone was being ludicrous and not following the rules.

What concerns are brought up?
The concerns that were brought up in the assembly were; no one helped build the shelters. No one was getting fresh water and putting it into the coconut shells anymore. You can only have one fire going and it’s the on top of the mountain. You can only go to the bathroom on the rocks. The beastie!

How do you feel about those concerns?
I feel the concerns we have are very important. I think they are important because they all have a good meaning behind them. There’s a reason why we talked about them during the assembly.

How are things breaking up (falling apart)?
Things are breaking up because no one has decorum. No one is listening to the rules we have. Everyone does whatever they want whenever they want. Jack and Ralph are always discursive.

Why do you think the littluns cry in their sleep?
I think the reason why the littluns are always lamentation in their sleep is because they miss their moms and dads. They are also very scared of the beastie. Which Jack believes there’s no such thing of a beastie. Why else would they be crying though?

What was Percival Wemys Madison afraid of?
Percival Wemys Madison is scared of the beastie. He says he has seen it before. It comes out during the night, and comes from the water. Jack thinks he’s ludicrous, but I believe him.

What do you think is “the dirtiest thing there is” about human nature?
The dirtiest thing about human nature is being self centered. I think that because what’s the point of being self centered. Everyone always thinks about them self, which is horrible.
