Blog Prompt 14 - Revision 9 Its Just Too Much.
Jack and his Savages are sadists. They know i cant see and they still go and steal my glasses how am i gonna be able to see. How can i do anything now. I wont be able to survive much longer without them. How am i supposed to eat, or go to the rest room, or just walk straight without tripping on a rock. For the rest of my life i may not be able to see.
How dare they do that, i cant believe how they could come in beat us up and steal my glasses. That's just mean. Something is someday gonna go and get him back.I just can believe those jerks. The island would do better off without them their not even human, all i know is they're not needed.
Blog Prompt 13 - Revision of 10 Were Scared..
It first started with the theft. They came and just attacked us, even though we were just four biguns and a bunch of lilluns. We didn't know what to do. They hit us when we least expected. Near the end Eric kicked someone where it hurts, but Sam was just incredibly scared. They stole Piggy's glasses though. They know he cant see. Poor piggy, what if he never gets them back. He'd be blind for ever. That was just mean.
They took our fire too. No one cares about the fire but us. Although it was hard work, its not like jack would have a fire. We were the only chance for the kids on the island to get saved but, jack blew it. He took our ignition source. Jack would never even think of keeping it going. He even said he didn't care anything about the fire. We could have all worked together and kept it going. It would have worked, but know we have nothing to start it. Either way, even if we had the glasses, there’s no possible way for us to have kept it going.
Later on we all decided to go to castle rock to talk to jack. Show him how we should be acting, that were good ol British boys, not animals. We thought it was a good idea. We were wrong. Jack wasn't very amused and ended up getting mad. We just wanted Piggy's glasses back. We would have shared fire. We didn’t mean no harm, but i guess they did. Jack wanted to fight with Ralph. Everyone went against their original leader. They all betrayed him.
Things got real crazy after. Everyone got all wild, then they grabbed us and took us away. The worst part was, we saw our own friend Piggy die. His death showed us all how savage jack truly was. Hes a monster. How are we supposed to follow him. Were worried, he beats people and forces them to do things, then he has killed two people already. Were forced to be with him, poor Ralph we feel like were going against him as well, but we have no choice. We cant let this go on. Its just too much.

Blog Prompt 7 - I hate ralph
We first went pig hunting. No big deal. Ralph came along since he’s a woos and he wanted to show off how much better he is. When we saw a pig he threw his spear and hit it. He freaked out and started jumping like it as a big deal. What ever, its just luck. We do that every day. He tried to act like he was one of us. I could tell he enjoyed it. A part of me tells me he is in some way like us, but I still despise him. After that we were just playing with Robert. This showed me how he can also be like us. He joined in on the fun. For a second he was welcomed into our little community of hunter.
We then randomly realized we had checked for the beast everywhere, but the mountain. We all started towards it until everyone chickened out. Near the end it was just me, Ralph and Jack. As we hike up the mountain I began to become more and more annoyed with him. I don’t know what it is just looking at him makes me just hate him. Jack went to show how strong he is and brave by himself to look at the beast. We found it. Too bad I had to wait with Ralph sitting there. It was disgusting just having him in my presence.
I just sat there thinking of what I want to do to him. I hat that Ralph and I will never like him.
Blog Promt 10 - Were worried
First the theft. They came and just attacked us, even though we were just four biguns and a bunch of liluns. We didn't know, we couldn't do anything.

Blog Prompt 11 - Silly Children
Look at them. I think just a couple ol British children. Would behave a lot better than this. Now, they cause two deaths, burnt the place down and were trying to kill another boy. I couldn't even believe it. In my opinion they didn't do a very well job staying alive and working hard to stay civilized. I would visualize a nice happy place, but they couldn't just stay happy and good, they had to go and kill each other.
I arrived and it was just an entire mess. I heard some weird Indian ululation. Boys all over the place just dirty with cuts and scratches. They had paint all over them selves like savages or something. They were just filthy, no order at all. They didn't have any real leader ship except for that boy Ralph who well… was a mess. I got there just in time be fore those crazy kids killed him. And him too, the leader, whom everyone for some reason wanted to kill, he was all dirty and cuts and dried blood all over him and besides he couldn't stand up for himself, he ran to my side and cowered besides me. His hair looked like it hadn't been cut in months, which I guess is okay since they're on an island. He was just horrible.
Next off all the children were messes too, how I said. Especially that boy jack. Now They're a bunch off boys, not even over 15 but they were already having wars and killing each other. That's just not right, and two DEATHS!! Come on. They never really elaborated on what really happened but I'm just guessing that boy Ralph did a lousy job as a leader and prolly drove everyone crazy. And maybe they just killed for fun? Or something… Maybe sacrifice in order to get off. I'm guessing the boy was a dictator like person if they all wanted to kill him. Oh yeah I got it, he was a bad dictator that drove them nuts and made them do sacrifices and in the end they just realized he was bad. Or... Never mind.
They were just a bunch of silly children.

Blog Promt 8 - I could have seen it coming...
I was in my own place relaxing, just sitting when all of a suddenly the hunters come and kill a pig right in front of me. The stuck it up as if was a totem pole, just a disgrace to the dead pig. I can swear it talked to me. It told me about this. I should have seen it coming. Why didn’t I listen to it? It told me it would be over, I couldn’t run. There was no beastie, the beast was just us. It said either was I was done. There was no way to stop it but it was just such evil power at once. It could have helped but it didn’t, it just stands there now watching everything collapse until everything will die and all we worked for will be destroyed.
What everyone thought was the real beast ended up being nothing but a dead body. The reason for all this madness was still the beast just the wrong one. A dead carcass. That was the reason for my death. Everyone got so caught up with believing on the beast, if they would have only been there at day light. They could have seen there was no beast. And it grew from just a little boys night mare of a snake to a savage god of evil. It shouldn’t have happened. I ran upon it and decided to un attach it from the trees.
Sadly that was my only proof to show them the real beast wasn’t the body but if just flew of after my death making them believe in the beast even more. I ran all the way to jacks party not knowing of the savagery that was going on and that jack had broken off from Ralph. I guess you could have seen it coming to since jack was always looking for attention and for power. He couldn’t just stay leader of the hunters, he had to be chief. I could tell from first glimpse it was bad even if I didn’t have much time down there. They couldn’t even listen to what I said. It was mad. They just randomly attacked. It was quick but the pain was endless.
I can just see it all crumbling down how the lord of the flies said. Now one listens to Ralph but piggy. Jack has gone mad with power. All civilized acts have died like the conch and trying to survive. Its all a game and what about the lilluns. No one will take care of them. I’m not looking forward to what will have, it had bad all over it.

Interview with Jack
Luis-
Hello jack, how are you? I understand you are head of the Hunters group? And also one of the head people?
Jack-
Yeah, yeah, I am the leader of the hunters. We kill pigs and get meat for all the lillones. That's what we really need. Its actually tough but I'm man enough. I have been hit by boars many times and i don't whine like that stupid Ralph. I was at the top. Ralph couldn't take care of everything by himself. He doesn't deserve to be leader. Without me they'll see. They need me!!
Luis-
Well i can see you and Ralph didn't have a very good relationship.
Jack-
Yeah, what's it to ya.
Luis-
Well is there anyone you actually like or trust? Or what about your relationship with everyone else?
Jack-
Well I got some of my hunters. Some were just a bunch of bloody woozies. The ones that did follow me are the only good ones like Roger and them. They actually follow my rules not like those other crazy children who don't even know what they're doing. They're all just playing Ralphs little game. Stupid lillones cant do anything but poop and eat. Piggy's just a stupid fatty. He doesn't do anything, he just goes and eats the food and whines. He wasn't any good to anything. Simons just a crazy little boy. He doesn't understand anything, he's just weird.
Luis-
I see, that's very interesting. I'm still interested in knowing more about you and Ralph. Tell me more
Jack-
Well what is there. Ralph was a stupid good for nothing jerk. I don't understand what everyone saw in him, why they wanted him to be leader. He had the worst ideas. He needed to get his priorities straight. We weren't going to just get rescued and they probably wouldn't even see the fire if it was lit. He couldn't lead a whole group of people, he probably couldn't even keep himself alive without me. I helped him with everything he couldn't do, and he still didn't consider it nor did any of the lillones they just wanted Ralph.
Luis-
So are you saying that you are hurt because no one considered what you did including Ralph?
Jack-
Yeah right I hate them all, they can all burn in bloody hell.
Luis-
Well okay… I also noticed you would a lot of the times pick on piggy and a lot of the lillones like that time with Robert and when you broke Piggy's glasses. You seem like an aggressive person.
Jack-
Yeah well I could hurt you too but I don't do that!! Besides, Piggy had it coming. He wouldn't shut up and that stupid fatty never helped like when we were getting fire wood, he just used his excuse of having asth-mar. He deserved it. And the whole Robert deal, they knew we were kidding, come on. It was just a joke. All of them couldn't take a simple joke. And they were useless too, if it was up to me, id just sacrifice them all to the Beast.
Luis-
Umm.. okay.. well our time is over, thank you for coming .
Jack-
Whatever this was a waste of time.
Book Quest - When A Boy Is Like Jack (Marvin Gaye - When A Man Loves A Woman)
They just need the meat and nothin' else
Hell trade the fruit
For the good pig hes found

Thats just too bad for them
They just cant get his attention
No matter what
When Ralph needs some help
He better forget it
Cus there is no way
That he could get any help
Wouldn't get his attention

This boys name Is jack merridew

He likes attention and power
And hate his leader

He has no real morals

Blog prompt 5 - From my Suroundings
We finally arrived about an hour early then we decided to just go and “kick it” since there wouldn’t be much to do considering it was closed. We broke up into groups while in line. It was my brother’s older friends, then him and his actual friends, then me and three other kids. We were pretty much the posers out of all of them. Previously we had drunk about five monsters, so we were psyched and ready for it. Our hearts were beating of anxiety and adrenaline. Finally we went in.
I first entered and examined everything like a puppy in its new home. To my surprise there was a lot of people. You could see a lot of different people, there was of course the big scary security, the “Metal Heads”, the “Gangster Kids” that were pretty much just messing around, two groups of posers being the “N00Bs” and the “Wanna Be HXC kids”, The “Old School kids” and then my personal favorite, the “Scene Kids”. Luckily I had my brother to tell me what to do. I checked out stands and the bathrooms that looked like no one cleaned them… ever. We entered the room which I had been waiting for. It was dark. The walls were torn but at least still up. It reminded me of the 8th grade commons at night. I looked back to see a bunch of equipment and up forward so see not as much but still a lot of stuff.
Lights shining all around different colors. It’s pretty calm and my friends and I just begin making up a bunch of funny situations of things that could go on. All of a suddenly the lights all turn off. Everyone is silent. The lights quickly turn back on and everyone around me cheers. My friends and I are confused not knowing what’s going on but I just look back at my brother for re assurance that everything is al right. There are a few random dudes up holding some mics and weird stuff. I knew it was all just about to go down. Without warning, the amps go on all speakers start blasting and BOOM my ears fill with different sounds. I turn back and see all my friends smiling just as exited as I was.
It was something new so we followed the noob rules. Stand on the sides, corners, front, back and try to stand behind people. If we are left in the open just stick your hands in a fist out or stick your leg out so you don’t get hurt. There’s kids dancing all over the place and music blasting that feels like my ears are about to explode. I feel like just jumping in and dancing but my brother advises me not to reminding me that I already look like a poser and that I don’t want to look like an even bigger one. I don’t really mind just seeing it all go down it just rewarding enough.

Blog Prompt 4 - Stupid Jack
Its preposterous how his whole group is just as useless as he is except for Simon and a few others but they haven't shown anything good yet. Especially with their implication of respect towards Jack meaning we cant do anything to him. Incredulously they seem to like him. He makes me want to sent my self gyrating around the would. They're just unneeded and they come up with irrelevant uses. Whats been done has been done all i can do is deal with them but i fear it might drive me nuts.

Blog Prompt 3 - Food or Shelter
If i were the leader, id have more hunting. The little ones cant do much so I would have older boys to teach them how to hunt and live on an island. We would learn how to survive and start a new world and way rather than just doing the same as we used to. The rules would be different too. If some one went against us, we would kick them out of our land. I would be powerful, and even the hair on the back of a pig would rise. If i were in charge, piggy would be kicked out for flaunting my rules like not helping when we made the fire and just having such stupid ideas.I hate Piggy, hes an annoying little fatty. If it weren't for Ralph, i would take him out with my own barb.
At least i get to go out and hunt. Just being out there listening to the wilderness and your heart beating. You clamber around festooned in tendril and vines. You wait for a while with an inscrutable urge to kill something. Then by the time a pig comes around your already part of the forest. You furtively sneak up behind it while being hidden by the mud as a natural camouflage. Then when you see their eyes glimmer... BAM!! You strike it and it gets caught with the barb of your spear. Then you just slit the neck and kill it. Its wonderful.

Blog Prompt 2 - Through The Eyes Of Piggy
I like Ralph and I've been following him a lot but sometimes I feel like he thinks I’m an officious person. He’s a lot nicer than jack and most of the other boys but sometimes he’s a little mean and I don’t like how everyone mistreats me. I don’t like jack at all, always pushing me around and calling me names like fatty, I’m tired of him. Ralph doesn’t even do anything though. The problem is no one else cares what I have to say, everyone just goes off and excludes me from their decisions. It’s not fair.
After picking up the conch and cleaning the dirt off it I decided it was right to join the rest of the boys and see what was going on. After walking up I saw all the boys going around finding wood to put into the fire. It was a dumb decision, everyone was working their butts off for their irresistible urge to make a fire. All they boys were tired and way hungrier than before when they were done. After they had all the wood, dumb jack stole my glasses. I couldn’t see anything but the small flashes nimble flames that quickly blew out. They finally got the fire going and jack gave me my glasses after giving me a scornful smile.
Their plan did work. The fire soon grew and was big, you have to admit. The only problem was that the medium sized fire they were hoping for soon warpedand became an uncontrollable wild fire. Were just kids, we couldn’t stop it and the little ones what could they do. Because of the loss in control and society... we lost a little boy.

Blog Prompt 1 - The First Days
I walk for a few minutes and i can start feeling the hunger set in. Im so hungry i could devour a pig, and to my surprise i happen to find something quivering in a bush. I move some of the branches aside and i find a pig half scared to death and i can tell that if it had any skin, by now it would be extremely pallor. I tried to get closer and pet it as if it was a dog but it all of a suddenly lets out this grating sound. For a second it felt as if my ear drums were about to explode. It then just ran off with indignation as if i hurt it in anyway. I sat for a couple of minutes remembering how hungry i was.
After catching my breath from that frightful scare i decide to once again keep walking. I begin to start thinking that i may not find anyone. Every couple of minutes id hear noise but i just realize it must be just the wind hitting the trees. I walk for about a half an hour when i suddenly hear this loud strident sound. Sort of like one of a trumpet. I tried running towards it but just as fast as it came, the sound quickly disappeared. I tried to find what way it came from and i started to hear the trumpet again. This time they were followed by short pauses then once again a three second note. Just the thought of finding another person made me forget all about my sores and hunger and i ran as as i ever have. I soon started to feel a breeze like if i was near an ocean. And what did i know, i was, and not only did i find my way out of the jumbled jungle but i found a few other boys as well.
I fat round looking kid approached me asking for my name, i answered him saying Michael J. Peterson III. The fat boy let out a grating laugh as if he had boogers and his nose was stuffed. He said "Well just call you Mikey." I didn't really mind what they called me and i just made my way to the small lagoon. I saw other kids vainly taking off there clothes as if they were world famous models, then i realized they were just too young to care what they looked like and i thought i probably should forget about my insecurities too. It was so refreshing, i was covered in mud and dirt and my hair was all jumbled and it just felt like heaven.
I finally realized where the trumped was coming from and i realized it wasn't a trumped at all, it was a 12 year old boy by the name of ralph blowing into a conch. It was quite interesting and calm until a decorous group of boys that looked like a marching band interposed on the calm sound of the conch. They were led by this vainly looking kid named Jack. Immediately i speculated that he was no good and i was right. He confronted Ralph and talked about having an election for a leader. The crowd broke out into a clamor and Ralph agreed. As i knew... Ralph won.
