Chapter 2: Ralph’s idea of the Fire
Jack’s Journal
After they chose Ralph as the leader I decided to be a great leader of the hunters so then they could make me the leader of all this annoying little kids.
Ralph decided to make an agreement which was that the conch shell will be used to determine which boy has the right to speak which probably is a good idea but if I was the leader I would’ve made better rules.
Suddenly, a boy with a martyred expression on his face came. He had a mulberry-colored mark on his face which distinguished him from the rest of the boys. Ralph started asking him questions and then he induced the conch shell to the little boy so he could talk. He said that he saw a snakelike “beastie” or monster the night before.
After the boy finish talking, Ralph came out with a not really smart idea. The idea was to build a fire on the mountain so that if a boat was passing through there they would see the smoke and rescue us. After all the capering boys heard the idea they started saying, “Ralph is the best leader ever!” Which I taught wasn’t correct because I am a better leader than Ralph.
We started walking and when we were in the top of the mountain we started building the fire. The ebullience of the children made them work faster. Piggy was errant because he would always complain about everything. At the end, the kid with the mulberry-colored mark on his face disappeared. Ralph was full of shame when Piggy told everyone but if I would’ve been the leader this would not have happened.

Blog #1 ( chapter 1 Lord of the Flies)
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.
