Chapters 9-10, Carey Masson

I can’t believe what those savages have done. And that Jack let them! They killed Simon. Simon was our friend. He was one of us, and he didn’t deserve to die. He only ever did good things for us. And then those savages pretended he was the beast and just … they killed him! They’re all so stupid and reckless and don’t know how to follow the rules. If they just followed the rules, this wouldn’t have happened.

We’re saved!!! I can’t believe it. It’s a miracle. I thought we’d be here forever. I can finally go home to civilization. I guess it was a good think they were trying to kill me. If they hadn’t tried to smoke me out the naval ship would have never seen us. Now that I think about it, they were trying to kill me! How could they? We were such civilized people before this. Look what we’ve become. We killed Simon and Piggy. We’ve become savages. It’s all over though, I will never be the same but I will be able to live a long life.

Ravi Sheth 9-10

In my opinion Jack has absolutely lost his mind. He is going to bring nothing but death to the two tribes, by violence and unnecessary rivalry.  I can't believe the things I saw at the feast, and the activities I also took place in. Now I officially hate Jack for taking all of my tribe members and making them his own. I begin to wonder how Jack is going to let his group survive without any shelter. Simon is dead and we all killed him together, we all have been involved in a murder. I think the entire group has lost their mind. Jack is now sending some of my old friends to beat me up and take my fire building technique. This could only get worse from here.

Chris Lloyd - Chapters 9/10

I feel as though I have finally lost control of everything. At Jacks feast today, he invited everyone to join his tribe and almost everyone did. Later in the night we all started to dance and chant but then we saw a shadowy figure so we all thought it was the beast. In our excitement, we attacked the beast and killed it but then we realized that we didn’t kill the beast, we killed Simon.

Next day, I find out that Jack is acting like a dictator and ordering people around and punishing them for no reason. This night Jack and his tribe storm or camp and beat us up and took Piggy’s glasses.

Emily Nichols Chapters 9 and 10

I really want to get off of this island. Jack gave us that meat, but then that horrible thing happened to Simon. We all deny that we were involved, but something happened to me during that dance. I felt different. Jack and his tribe have been causing all sorts of trouble. He attacked us at night and stole Piggy’s glasses. We had a hard enough time keeping the fire going with Piggy’s glasses. We will never be able to do it without them. Jack doesn’t even want to use the glasses to get rescued. He only wants to use it to cook his meat. We will never get off this island.

Carey Masson, ch. 5-6

It really ticks me off the way Jack and some of the other boys start to question me as leader. I’m only leader cause they chose me. I didn’t choose myself. Why should they complain about something that’s really only their fault? And then they talk to me about it and go breaking all the rules that I made to make this place at least somewhat civilized. If they wanna stay here forever and die, that’s up to them. But that’s not I want.

Matt Topper Chapters 7- 8

I can’t believe this. This is insane. How could they betray me? After all I do for them. If it weren’t for me they would all be dead. Yes Jack can hunt, but that’s about it. He has no other skills. I’m in charge and that’s that. This is going to be total chaos now. This could even lead to war. I know Piggy is happy and right now we are fine on our own but this is not going to end well.

Ravi Sheth Chap 5-6

I never really noticed how many times in my life I looked at my feet. It is so much fun being in charge. I love yelling at the other boys, I only have to because the other boys don't do what they have too. I know 100% in my mind that there are no monsters on the island. I feel as if the group is slowly breaking apart and that we will soon become two groups. I feel like I am the bravest one out of all because I went into the cave all by myself.

Chris Lloyd Chapters 5/6

I am starting to get extremely frustrated with the guys, no one is seems to be helping or doing their part so we can all stay alive. They don't maintain the signal fire or get drinking water or build shelters. So I called a meeting which turned into chaos because everyone started worrying about the monster.

That night, Sam and Eric let the signal fire go out so the military planes battling in the sky didn't see our fire. Then when they woke up they saw the shadow of a dead parachutist in the tree and thought it was the beastie.

What I am going to do with these guys?

Emily Nichols-Chapters 5/6

Being chief is a lot harder than it used to be. No one wants to listen to me anymore. I tried to have that assembly, but all anyone wanted to do was talk about the beast. I hope there isn’t a beast! The littluns have enough trouble as it is and the fear is starting to spread to everyone. The twins of course let the signal go out, when they got excited about the beach. No one understands how important being rescued is.

Jack has started to make things harder for me as chief. Everything I say, he has his own idea to also say. I am so sick of him and his hunting.

Matt Topper Chapter 4

I can’t believe they let the signal fire out. What could they have possibly been doing? That was all I asked the hunters to do and they can’t even do that simple task. This was our chance to get off this horrible island and they blew it. Now we’re going to be stuck here forever. The one day the hunters finally catch a pig they should have been doing something else. I mean, at least we have food for the night, but we should be off this island. It’s not fair, all I do is work and this is how I get repaid.

San Chapter 3/4

Things are going as rhythm now on the island, but not only good things are happening , there are several conflicts and failures had happened. Today, there was a ship went by our island, I was with Piggy to signal the ship to come but our signal fire went out. I was furious, but the hunters also caught the pig today. although they finally caught the pig, but if they did not forget the signal fire we definitely been rescue by now.

During the meeting, I confront jack about him and his hunter failures. He admitted it, but i still feel there is still tension between us. One of the kid also said that he saw the "beastie" came up from the ocean. I'm very afraid, I started to losing hope and courage to live on this island. Also my power is not as strong anymore, soon enough these kids will stop obeying and there will be chaos.

Ravi Sheth Chap 2-3

This is so cool. I am the boss of the entire group. It feels really chill, telling everyone what to do is an amazing feelings. When I give orders, I feel the power running through me. My idea to build a large new signal on the top of the island's central mountain was genius, this way any large ships would notice it and figure out that there are people trapped on the island. But, I feel really bad for the little boy that is now MIA. I think that we will make it off this island, and that the group will remain as one.

Chris Lloyd - Chapters 2/3

Today Piggy started to worry that no one knows we crashed and no one will ever find us than everyone else starts to worry and thinks we will all be stranded forever. One of the younger kid’s claims he saw a snake beastie in the jungle and gets all the younger kids scared.

After some boys accidentally lit a tree on fire when they were trying to make a signal, one of the littluns disappeared and no one seemed to care. I was frustrated at the boys because all of them say they want to do this and that but most of them don’t even help out.

Emily Nichols Chapters 2&3

I hope that we get rescued soon. The fire doesn’t seem to make enough smoke and I’m the only one who seems to bother about ever getting off this island. Being chief is harder than I though. No one listens to me. All Jack cares about is hunting and all the littluns care about is having fun. Simon and I are stuck doing all the hard work, like building shelters. Jack is starting to act a little crazy. He only talks about killing pigs. I hope he gets one soon so that everyone will be happier.

The littluns have nightmares about the beasties at night. I just know they aren’t real, they can’t be real.

Going crazy - Chapters 2&3 - Carey Masson

Already people had started going crazy with no grown-ups around. One little kid kept going on about a beastie and wouldn't stop. There's no big beasties on my island, only little creepers. But of course that didn’t stop all the others from listening to me. They knew I was the right one, telling them the there was no snake-beastie.

And then when we wanted to light the fire, Piggy kept yelling for us to give his specs back though that was the only way for us to light it. Maybe he doesn’t want us to get saved or something crazy like that.

No Adults!! CHAPTER 1

So, I guess it's just us on this island, and I guess I'm in charge. Not sure how much Jack liked that turn of events...

Good thing Piggy spotted that conch so we could call the others. But there's no way he would've been a good explorer. He's just got to understand that, what with that ass-marr and all. And I don't know why he got so upset when I called him Piggy in front of everyone! I mean it is better than Fatty.

I wonder if Jack meant it when he said that he'll kill the pig next time...
