Journal Entry 10: Being Hunted and Rescued

So two of the other boys told me that they are planning something. They say they are planning to hunt me! My worse fears have become reality. Just yesterday they killed my last friend and now there out to get me. What am I suppose to do? I'm scared. I can't beat of these monsters by myself. They have weapons and a mini army. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to get out of this one....
Now that I know they are planning to hunt me I have found a hiding place to protect myself the best way  I can. Hopefully they won't find me.

Somehow they found me, they sent a boulder into the thicket where I was hiding. This didn't work though, they still couldn't get to me. After that didn't work, Jack lite a fire in hope of smoking me out of the thicket, somehow I managed to escape from the other side of the thicket and stabbed one of Jack's savages that were on guard. I had a little more hope for myself. I began thinking, maybe I can handle myself in this situation.
After I begin running, the other boys signal each other and began to chase, I am now scared again. I tried to hide again, this time in Simon's hiding spot but I was spotted and had to stabbed another one of Jack's savages with my spear, I am growing more confident in surviving. Then the fire that Jack had set, spread out of control to the island and the whole island is in flames. I run out to the beach with Jack and his savages not far behind me. As I run on the beach, I see a naval officer. My dreams are real, I am rescued, I lived to see myself being rescued.
This was the happiest I've ever been to see a officer. I am truly happy, I will be able to see my family again and way from the evil and savageness of this island.

Although I am happy to see my fanily soon, I still feel bad because Simon and Piggy won't get that chance, I am still thankful for being rescued though.

Journal Entry 9: Piggy's Death

Now they've killed Piggy. Piggy's death was very gruesome. All of them didn't kill him though. Roger killed him by himself.
Piggy and I went to Castle Rock to demand that they give Piggy's glasses back. Roger struck Piggy with a huge boulder, it hit him from chin to knee and it also smashed the conch into a thousand pieces. Piggy through sideways through the air and he fell 40feet and leaded on the scare rock in the sea. His head opened and blood and other stuff rushed out.
Seeing Piggy die completely scared me, they obviously have no remorse for killing another human being and I feel they would have no feeling after killing me. I don't think it's anything from holding them back from killing me like they killed both Simon and Piggy. I am now afraid for my life, I honestly don't know if I will live to see us getting rescued.
The only thing keeping my from going crazy is the idea of seeing my family, hopefully I will see them soon. I don't know if their gonna kill me, I don't know why they haven't yet killed me yet. Why would they kill Piggy and Simon but not me? What are they saving me for? Piggy and Simon were unable to protect themselves and both very weak. I am the complete opposite from the both of them. Why haven't they killed me!? If they had killed me they would've been able to have Simon and Piggy on their side. Are they saving the best kill for last, or are they intimidated by me? I'm not quit sure what it is, but I don't feel safe anymore. When will someone come and take me from my worse nightmare? When will I be safe again? Will I make it to see my family again? How will I defend myself against these savages?

Journal Entry 8: Simon's Death

Well, they killed Simon. I can't believe they actually killed him. Simon wasn't a threat to anyone, he was one of the weaker boys on the island and they killed him. Apparently they thought he was the beast so they killed him.
How could anyone confuse the beast with Simon? Simon is small, little, and weak minded. Him off all people couldn't be mistaken for the beast.
In my mind for some reason, I think the boys are trying to get rid of everyone on my side, maybe because they know we won't ever switch over to the other side.
Now that Simon is gone, I am becoming more and more less hopefully of my chance of survival. I think that if I don't die from starvation, or something I think the other boys may kill me. Now that my alliance is becoming weaker and weaker I am starting to fear that the boys and there evil spirit is going to spread not only over the entire island, but over me as well. I'm not sure what's going to happen or what will happen next.
I think they may try to convince Piggy onto their side next, then I will be alone, by myself, no one to talk to, no one at all. Piggy is not my typical friend, but right now, he is all I've got and I would hate losing him right now. I'm really hoping the boys stop the foolishness and allow the evil and savageness to leave them and allow them to return to their normal selves.
I don't know how things will turn out, I don't know if I'll ever be rescued, I just know, I don't want to be killed like Simon. I'm in fear of my life and I'm aware of what they are capable of. I don't know what I'm going to do.

Journal Entry 7: The Boys Split

As the days go on, we are separating more and more. The boys are becoming complete animals! They have painted there faces and are acting like savages. I have never experienced anything like this.
Separation first began when the boys became obsessed with hunting but it grew further apart after we searched for beast on the mountain. It was apparent that my intentions and goals for the group are clearly different from both Jack and Roger's.
Jack and Roger increasingly become more and more aggressive and angry. They have allowed our unsupervised lifestyle to get to there heads and they have become completely out of control. They have swayed many, of not all, of the littleluns to the dark side.
I think nothing good will come of this. They are obviously mad with power. The other boys follow behind them and look up to them as if the things they are doing are justifiable.
I can't say I'm in fear of my life but I will say, I don't think they would have mercy on me if I were to get into it with one of the boys on that side. If we never get rescued I'm scared to even imagine how my world would be. I think that if we are never rescued and stuck on this island for the rest of our lives, I think Jack and Roger will problem kill everyone, they are so crazy and deranged I think they might kill everyone off.
I'm hoping we get rescued soon because I don't know how much more of this madness I can't take it anymore. I miss my family, my friends, and just home. I don't like being on an island with out rules, adults, or any kind of structure. At first it was excited and fun but now that I see what it does to people. I don't like life with out rules, it's not as fun as it would seem.

Journal Entry 6: Beast on the Mountain

It's another beast scare on the island. The twins Sam and Eric were on the mountain watching the fire and they claim to have seen a beast. They say they beast was hairy, had teeth, and had eyes. To reassure the boys, Jack and I went to go to check everything out to make sure it wasn't a beast, a few other boys tagged along with us.
Even though I had told the boys time after time, there was no such thing as a beast, this time going up to the mountain I wasn't so sure, I didn't want the boys to know this though, I kept a confident attitude, although inside, I was doubtful and kind of scared. Is it really a beast? What are you going to do if it is? We can't protect ourselves from anything right now, we have no form of defense. I'm doubtful but as leader I am going to go to the mountain anyway.
Going up the mounain, the anticipation of finding out what we would find at the top was growing more and more.I'm not sure how I will react when if I find a actual beast at the top of the mountain. I'm not sure how the other boys will react either. 
We have now reached the top of the mountain, we found what the twins thought was the beast, approaching the beast in the dark was scary, but I then came to realize, it was our pilot, dead with his parachute still attached to his body. The wind was blowing the parachute causing it to pull the body, making the dead man seem to come to life. It was great relief to find out that our worries were now nonexistent. Terror was lifted from the island once again, I was happy to report this to the boys.

Journal Entry 5: Hunting the Pigs

When I first searched the island with the boys, we had discovered it were pigs on the island. I was excited to find this out because we would have meat to eat and we wouldn't have to starve and just eat fruit and other little things we find on the island.
I don't know how hard hunting pigs will be, or hunting anything period, I've never hunted anything a day of my life and I'm sure none of the other boys have hunted either. Jack insist that him and his choir boys be the hunters because Jack claims to have experience or something. I'm not sure how this is going to work out but I'm going to hope for the best.
Aside from hunting, we are still worried about being rescued. We decided to build a fire at the top of the mountain to send out a smoke signal to passing planes or near by ships. We had a hard time making a fire because none of us have made a fire from hand before. Luckily one of the boys knew that the sun and Piggy's glasses could ignite a fire, it actually worked, we know had a smoke signal, I had higher hopes for being rescued.  The only problem left was, we needed someone to watch the fire, the choir again took on the role. I wasn't sure how they would handle getting food and keeping eye on the fire, but I left that up to them, I had bigger things to worry about.

Now I have become extremely worried, the fire has gone out and the boys are becoming more and more obsessed and wrapped up in hunting and killing they were no longer keeping eye on the fire. I'm starting to notice the more savage and aggressive side come from the boys, I'm really not sure how to feel about this. Hopefully things don't get to out of hand.

Journal Entry 4: The Beast

Complete terror has come over the island and majority of the boys. Some of the little kids say they have seen a beast, well more of a giant snake, or whatever. I think they are crazy and out of there minds. It is obviously no beast or monster on this island, we searched the whole island, Jack and me, we saw no traces of a beast, monster, or anything of that nature. This kids must be making this up in there minds because of the shock and fear from the plane crash. I don't know why these boys would even believe a little child, they are obviously confused and don't have the proper mind set. I'm sure it was probably just large branch on the ground or something stupid like that, I honestly can't bring myself to believe a silly, scared, little child, when he says there's a beast on the island. Its so dumb to me.I think I may be the only rational thinking one on the island, well Jack is thinking the same way I am..
Wait, what if there really is a beast on the island. What will we do? How will we protect ourselves? We don't have any weapons, only thing we have is Jack's pocket knife. That won't do any good against a huge monster like beast. Although I've eased the little kids and the other boys mind, I'm still not completely sure if the island really is free of a beast. I'm hopeful that it is, but what if I'm wrong? I wouldn't even know what to do if an evil monster was lurking on the island. I wouldn't know how to keep the boys, let alone myself, safe. I guess I never considered how I would keep everyone safe when I took the role as leader. For the sake and safety of everyone, I pray to God, this "beast" doesn't exist..

Journal Entry 3: Voted As Leader

Now that everyone is back together from the crash, it was apparent that we needed a leader to keep order on the island. It was plenty of little kids that needed guidance and structure. So the question arose, who should be leader. It was between Jack, the choir leader, and me, Piggy could have been considered but he obviously didn't have the backbone to be leader of a whole group of people. We allowed the boys to take a vote and of course, I won. I was excited but at the same time, I realized that a lot of responsibility put on me, I'm sure I can handle it though. I have a feeling that Jack was a tad bit upset because he wasn't voted leader, thats my least concern at the time though.
Since I still wasn't able to explore what I now know is an island, I decided me and a few boys should go check everything out. After going through the entire island and discovering that the island was untouched and no one lived on the island we decided to head back to the other boys. While going back, one of the boys pointed out some candle bushes. Jack pulled out his knife and slashed the flowers, this showed an extremely aggressive side of Jack that we had not seen earlier, this is terrifying in a way and very alarming. Hopefully he can control his aggressiveness....

Journal Entry 2: The Conch!

Since I'm still not sure if this is an island, I decided to go look around with Piggy to check everything and see if there's anything else. As we were walking around just looking at stuff we came to a body of shallow water. Through the water, I saw something. It sort of glistened in the light, I didn't know what it was but Piggy said he had seen one before and said it was a shell, a Conch shell and that it was very valuable. This really excited me, I had to have it, I wanted it for myself. I knew that if it was as valuable as Piggy says, when I get back home, my family and I could sale it and get alot of money for it!
Piggy grabbed the conch from the water, I snatched it from his hands and just stared at it. I was very beautiful. I just stared at it for awhile before I was interrupted by Piggy. He said that the shell could be used to be blown into, sorta like a horn. So I tried to blow in to, nothing came out. He said his friend had sort of spit into the horn for then nose to come out. So I tried that, nothing really came out again, he then said that his friend had like blew from like down in h is gut or something. I tried that and a huge noise came out. It scared both of us. I bet you could hear it all over the island. We figured that if it was other people on the island, they would hear the noise and come to see what it was. As we thought, boys began to appear. The first to appear was a little boy about the age of 6. I blew into the horn again and this time a group of smaller boys appeared, around the age of the first boy. I was happy to know we weren't the only ones on the island. As I blew the horn two more times, more bodies appeared. After all the boys had come to surround Piggy and I, we established names and things like that.. It's a great feeling to know that I am not alone..                                

Journal Entry 1: The Plane Crash

Today may have been one of the worse days of my life. While on the plane we were fire bombed or something. Before any of us knew it, the plane was going down in flames. I was so scared; I didn't know what to do. All I could think about was if I would ever see my family again, I've never been more scared in my life. I think we must have been attacked the country at war with our country.
After crashing down, I found a near by island, well I'm really not sure if it's an island yet. I pulled myself up onto a large rock on the island, or whatever it maybe, as I was looking around I saw nothing but water, trees, mountains, and rocks, not much more of that. As I lay on the rock I heard something  near by. I got up to check it out and to my surprise, it was a boy, he was fat and not very attractive. He was tangled in some weeds or something, when I got him out I asked him what his name was, he said that he was known as Piggy back at school. I never laughed so hard in my life, his name was Piggy, it really fits him. Even though my nerves were calmed because I found someone else from the crash, I still can't believe this has happen. What if we are never rescued? What if Piggy and I are the only ones that survived the crash? How will they find us? How will we survive? Is there other people living on this island? Are there wild, dangerous animals on the island? How can just two school boys defend ourselves from things we've never even came close to encountering? How long can we survive on our own? I'm hoping my questions are answered soon......
