chapter 10.      It's me, Sam, Eric, and Ralph left in our tribe. The other boys have become pure savages and I don't know if only the four of us can survive against Jack and his hunters, they're vicious. They snuck into our tribe at night while the four of us were sleeping and attacked us. Biting, hitting, kicking scratching, but the worst part of it all was Jack smashed my specs. How much worse can this get? Who is going to be the next victim?

chapter 9.      Jack and his hunters have a larger feast which Ralph and I are invited to. We attend, those boys are running around like pure savages with painted faces. They have no chance of survival they don't even have shelters. When we asked what they will do when the storm approaches they begin dancing in a circle chanting loudly. Something creeps through the bushes so the hunters attack the object is pushed down the rocks and into the ocean, it was our very own Simon. I think he was coming to tell us that there is no beasty and there never was because he discovered it was a man in a parachute and we killed him.     I knew these boys couldn't handle us being stranded on this island alone. THEY KILLED SIMON!! Or did we all? We caused this we couldn't work together and be fair because were all selfish little kids.     I can't take this anymore. Who will be next Simon was savagely killed being mistaken for the beast, it can happ...
chapter 8. The boys are back and I have to say I am glad. I ask questions about what went on and if Ralph liked being out with Jack and to my surprise he enjoyed it. Confusingly the boys burst out into an argument about there being a beasty on the mountain and Jack starts calling Ralph a coward and says he will be going on by himself, he storms off.      Ralph is my friend so I begin cheering him up. We don't need him buddy he wont survive a day with out you I say. He feels a lot better. Jack has gathered his own tribe with his hunters. I don't know what to think about this because those boys are dangerous!!! What should we do now I'm scared.        I can't even imagine what they might do to us out of anger... I'll keep that to myself though, no one cares about what I have to say. I think the other boys are going to try and start some sort of war with us and take over what Jack thinks is his or what he thinks he should hav...

chapter 7.        The boys finally came back. First Simon then the others but they still came back. I never knew tending the littlun's would be so hard and exhausting! Ralph told me all about him hunting, he seemed to enjoy it he told me he even wounded a pig I can admit I was the a little excited for him. He even went out onto the mountain to help search for the beastie. We had another assembly when they came back and boom out of no where the boys bust into an argument about who should lead. We were all scared to say what we really thought because we never know what Jack might do. Jack stormed off and Ralph tried to stop him but he wouldn't listen.      I kinda don't know what might happen should we prepare for Jack and his hunters to attack? I'm going to stay out of this just like they want me out of everything else.... I'll be fine alone I just can't tell them that because then they'll really hate me.      I wonder ...

chapter 6.     We wake up first thing in the morning and have a meeting where the twins Sam and Eric are telling us they think they saw the beastie while tending the fire when they woke up. The boys described the beastie in such a way I couldn't help but tremble a little. The boys went out to search for the beastie while I stood behind with the littlun's, I guess you can say I would rather stay behind with the children than look for something that can possibly kill us..      I can't even imagine what might happen to us. We don't listen we don't care we don't do anything! I don't care about the beastie, I don't care about hunting I just want to go home. I'm all alone with the littlun's and its unfair.     When they get back I'm going to give them a piece of my mind. Maybe not I was the one who offered to stay..... I hope the boys are okay, I we need each other we can't just drift apart. I'll ask Simon or Ralph...

chapter 5 .      Ralph called a meeting today I know he's really upset now. No one seems to be listening anymore, we have really became savage like. We haven't been building shelters, bringing in drinking water no one cares anymore. The littlun's say they really saw a beastie and it comes from the water, now I'm really scared but I refuse to act scared. I don't know what to think I hope for the best because it still hasn't got the littlun's so it can't be that bad.      That boy Jack is a real problem, I don't know how many times I have repeated this... He claims he and his "hunter" will kill the monster/beast if there even is one on the island. He always finds a way to make fun if me then run off with his posy.      Ralph is losing control and this is a terrible thing. If no one listens to Ralph they're going to start listening to Jack and he'll drive us to death. We need a leader who is worried about us getting of th...

symbol      Face paint is used as a symbol in this story. The face pain represents savagery, it masks the humanity of the boys. The face paint changes the boys from school boys to savages. An example is before jack put on the face paint he was a little afraid of the pig blood, but after painting his face he wasn't worried at all.      The fire symbolizes hope of going home or being spotted by a ship. The hope symbolized by the fire changes when it goes out. The boys lost all hope when the fire went out the first time because Piggy and Ralph saw a passing ship and as the ship passed the fire went out so they were not spotted or rescued.      The beast in the story symbolizes fear. The boy make up a figure of a beast and I think they do this to shield the actual fact that they are afraid of being on the island alone with out any adults. The littlun's are the only ones who can actually admit they believe there is an actual...
