Lord of the Flies Post #4

Chapter 5
2=Simon
Simon's journal

That evening started out with Ralph calling a meeting at dark and this time it was a serious meeting since what happened this afternoon. I still hate Jack for letting the fire out we could of been rescued, go home and then he could of had all the meat he wanted. Besides he only killed one pig enough to only give to his hunter and to me,Ralph, and Piggy, besides the pig had a wierd after taste. I'm just freaked out that one of these days on the Island Jack is going to snap and is going to start hurting or killing everyone here because the obsession of killing. During the assembly many were discursive about the rules Ralph was stating. Then Came the part when the assembly went wrong, it was when we were talking about the beastie, some of the older kids were jeeringly laughing at percival for going to talk in front of everyone and when that happened was when the lamentation exploded out of percival and so did the rest of the little uns. That when piggy tried to take control and say that the decorum of everyone here was gone and that everyone acted like savages but that didn't work. Ralph tried to remind everyone of being rescued but jack just snatched the conch with an effigy of a beast and took over the assembly.

Your journal is very much like Simon saying it himself. i like how you told us about how Simon felt and thought and even how the pig tasted. This was a very good post but i advise you to start turning your posts into paragraphs, instead of just one piece of writing.

I like how you say i hope jack doesn't snap and hurt/kill someone. when you said percival exploded and so did the little ones i thoughyt that was kind of funny.
