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..
