Chapter 1: Where are we?
Simon’s Journal
I woke up after falling down from the airplane. All I saw were trees, sand, and the beach. Then I asked myself where I was and suddenly a bunch of little kids came over to where I was. Two of the kids were twins. There was also a scary looking boy who seems to be the leader of the little kids.
I was first scared by this people but after a while I shyly ask them, “Excuse me…..ummm...do…do you know where we are?” “We just fell from an airplane and we landed on some kind of island or jungle,” they said. “Do you want to accompany us to go to explore the jungle?” they asked me. “I…proffer to go to find if anyone else is alive,” I told them. They all thought it was a great idea and we all started walking. “It is incredulous how we can be here lost in this jungle,” I thought.
As we were walking I stared at everyone again and I noticed that the twins had the hair like tow. I also looked at the boy with the scary face he still scared me because of his specious appearance.
I looked up and I saw the fronds of the palms they were so big I even thought they were bigger than I. Suddenly we stop the kid with the scary face said, “Didn’t you hear that?” “Yes is somewhat like a trumpet,” the twins said at the same time. “Let’s go maybe is some other people who are alive,” said the boy with the scary face.
While we were running at a far distance we could see two figures. We kept on running until we saw a short chubby boy with glasses and another boy who was with a shell making that trumpet noise. We sat down in the rocks and the chubby boy asked for every body’s name. I learned that the twins’ names were Sam and Eric and that the kid with the scary face name was Jack. Then the chubby boy asked for my name I told him that my name was Simon. Then I just sat there quietly. I was scared to talk and I was even more scared to be there.
The boy whose name was Ralph told us that we should vote for our leader. I voted for Ralph because I thought he had a pliant style of leadership. After Ralph became our leader he chose me and Jack to go with him and explore. I did not want to go because I was scared that something would happen to us in the jungle but if I did not go they were going to think that I was a chicken and that I was scared of everything, so I decided to go. After all, I think I am the nicest one of all of them.
