Uh oh

Perspective; Simon


I think that this island is really good for us. Since there is fruits and pigs for us to eat. It also has a bunch of things we could use for shelter and everything like that.

A couple of kids were talking about a beastie. I think its just a really big pig or something along the lines of that. I think it symbolizes that we need to stick together and listen. If we don't then we could get killed by it. I feel a bit threatened by it, I mean it could be real, but there is a chance that it isn't, so I don't really know what to think.

My plan to be rescued is set up something huge that can be seen from far away that says S.O.S or something along the lines of that. If we don't get rescued though, I wouldn't mind staying here for a while. It's really cool here.

How did you start a fire and what happens to the fire? At first we decided to make a fire to signal people if they were looking for us. We gathered a bunch of dead wood and put them on top of the mountain. We didn't have any matches so we pinched piggy's glasses. He complained a lot. We got the fire going and everything but then things went wrong. The sourrounding trees caught on fire and it turned into a huge fire. A little boy w/ a mark on his face was in there, and he died. It was a sad time.

How are you different from all the other boys? Even though all of us sped off to set the fire I know I'm different. If I wasn't so caught up in it all I would have stopped to think this all through. I know I could have saved the little 'uns that died if I had been thinking. I'm not like most of the kids there, I can think things through and do smart things.

When I go to sleep I feel a bit excited about what the next day will hold, but other then that I feel indifferent. I mean,ya, we are on an island, cool, not really a big deal.
