CHAPTER 4: PAINTED FACES AND LONG HAIR
"Death of the Pig"
Perspective: Jack

Dear Journal,
Today was an awesome day. This day was way harder to live in this island then it is in England. Then the littleuns don’t even do anything. They just play and eat fruit. The littleuns where very blatant. I think they should do something instead of letting us four boys do everything. Today was the day I was going to kill a pig. I needed to feel powerful in the group and also important. So I put war paint on my face. I thought the reason why I couldn’t catch the pig was because he can smell me. I was going to be as belligerence as I can to kill that pig. My boys and I went out hunting. I saw a dark shadow the crept beneath Roger’s swarthiness skin. There was the pig running with his friends. One got hit by the spear and ran back. My hunters and I got into a circle and moved in on it. I was having them chant, “Kill the pig. Cut her throat.” We get back to the camp and Ralph and Piggy tell me that they see a ship and we need to go and see if the fire is still going. First piggy starts complaining about me and my hunter’s maturity. So I slap him in the face and his specs fly off and break. While he was going to get them Simon got them for him. I grabbed them and look at me malevolently. It like Piggy is impalpable when people touch him. He is one of the biggest babies I have ever seen. We run to the fire and we found out that is it down. Ralph goes ballistic and starts yelling at me. He tells me that it was my fault because it was my responsibility. I apologize for that but I didn’t want to apologize to Piggy. Ralph gets Piggy’s specs and starts to make the fire again. We roast the pig that I got and of course there was a problem. I didn’t give any of it to Piggy because I didn’t think he deserved it, but Simon is so nice and he gives his to Piggy. So I take some of the meat and throw it at Piggy and told him to eat it. Ralph then has declared that there was going to be another meeting.

Huts on the Beach

"Someone Help"

Perspective: Simon
Dear Journal, Today was one of those days when you think no one can see you. As in the way that no one is listening to you. Today we had jobs. Some of the jobs were building the shelter and hunting for meat. I got the building the shelter job with Ralph. We are building this shelter so that the little kids can live in. Jack and his hunters got the hunting group. Jack and his hunting group set out into the wood to look for some meat. Ralph was getting really upset because every time we got the hut up it would fall. Ralph and I had a whole lot of vicissitudes. This is because only I help him out and none of the other boys did. I was getting a little upset also because the littleuns where just swimming and Piggy was know where to be found. While Jack was in the forest the pigs feet made a castanet sound. Jack went to go catch it but he failed. When Jack and his hunters came back we were starved. So wondering where the meat was he says he did capture the pig. Ralph gazed at Jacks bewildered rapt face. I could tell now he was really up set. Ralph tells Jack about some stuff he was concerned in like what if the little ones can’t sleep tonight because they have a nightmare. I thought he was going to make up an excuse like the cave we were in was opaque and I couldn’t see anything, but he didn’t. Now Jack is going crazy because he really want to catch a pig before he gets rescued. They are thinking of ways how they can be more successfully when they see another pig. Jack now doesn’t care about what Ralph is thinking. Ralph gets mad at Jack and thinks that they are using hunting duties to get away from doing work. I don’t get why Jack doesn’t have a contrite face. He should say he is sorry or something.

Fire on the Mountain
"Beastie?"
Perspective: Piggy

Dear Journal,
Today was another bad day on this rediculous island. I think somebody should knock Jack in the head with that conch. He is always telling me to shut up. I had the conch in my hand and that means only I can talk and he still tells me to shut up, but thanks to Ralph for backing me up. I sometimes wonder if Jack is errant to his parents. Anyways, we met this martyred kid with a mulberry mark on his face. He thinks he saw some snake thing called a beastie the night before. But to keep us from being frighten the older kids told us he just had a nightmare. Which now I bet I will be very scared when I go to bed. Thanks to Ralph and his good ideas he told us to make fire and the way you do that is first to get a fire. He thinks that his dad my come or some ships might come to rescue them. Everybody was capering so they ran to the center of the mountain, but like my childish and stupidity ways I start to whine of virtuous recrimination. The boys gather up some dead wood and used my lenses to make a fire. They got a big fire but it died down fast. So I tried to motivate them by telling them that if you want to get of the island you need to work harder. So Ralph told me to come up where he was and he pinch my specks. I wasn’t very happy that he did that. Jack then says that him and his hunter group were going to be responsible for the fire. I get angry because of the groups reckless disorganization and tell them that one of the littlest boys was playing by the fire. It was the little boy that was talking about the beastie.

The Sound of the Shell
"The Beginning?"
Perspective: Ralph
Dear Journal, Today was a pretty good day. I first landed on this island and met some new people. But some of them weren’t so friendly. The person that I first met was this kid named Piggy. I don’t really now his real name. He is big boned and he wears glasses. He also has something called ass-mar. Then there was this kid name Jack. He tried to use is effulgence to get everybody to vote for him to be the leader of the group. But it didn’t work, I still won. I think he tried to use his glamour also. But I think he has a little enormity in him. I don’t know why he didn’t even kill the pig. I think he was a bit scared but we will see next time. He is kind of a jerk because he told Piggy to shut up then called him fat. Then there was Simon. I think he is kind of weird kid. He faints a bit much. We decided that all of us except Piggy to go find out where we were. I should of gave a proffer so that Piggy can come along because he is apart of the group and he was with me from the beginning. As we were going through the jungle, I should of thought to leave traces behind just incase we got lost. While we were walking there, I saw great fronds everywhere. We came I am glad that they chose me to be leader because I can give them the brilliance I have. And I can show them the great survival skills I have. Also use my strength to get through the obstacles.
