Chapter 6-The better Chief 

Jack's Journal

When Ralph, Roger and I got back onto the beach their were an uproar of questions, mostly for Ralph. I sat down on the rough bench thinking, Ralph shouldn't get all the attention, I was the person who first saw say it, I went up alone. Ralph then sat next to me while dumb ole Piggy kept asking the same stupid question. "So you guys really did see the beast?" while the answer reminded the same "Yes Piggy, " said Ralph annoyed. Ralph and I then started a discussion about the beastie. I saw that I think that me and my hunters should just go up and kill it, then Ralph said somethings that showed he was a jerk. "Boys with sticks" I knew it, he didn't believe in my hunters, yet he wasn't a hunter, he doesn't know anything. He is just a coward that was to scared to go up to the mountain to see the beastie. I then knew what I needed to do.

I grabbed the conch sitting next to Ralph and blew a loud low sound, nothing like Ralph did. Slowly the kids started to come and sit on the logs. Ralph then grabbed the conch and started talking. I then grabbed it back, and explain slowly to him, that I was the one who called the conch, so I should be the one to speak. I waited until everyone was dead quiet. I started my speech by telling everyone that We did indeed see the beast, and that Ralph was a coward. As I said this everyone started to whisper a bit, and Ralph mouth was opened as wide as could be. I talked more about how he stood down while Roger and I walked up the mountain to see the monster, and indeed we saw it. Again more talk. I then said something that made everyone whisper and talk. "Ralph also thinks my hunters are just boys with sticks." My hunters then glared at Ralph. "Ralph's not a hunter or a prefect, so I think its absurd for him to say anything bad about my hunters," I added. "So I don't think that he is a good chief, I think that we should have a vote for a new chief."  Ralph then stepped in, breaking his own rule. "Just wait a minute, I never said any of that, and I did go up to the mountain and see the beast, and I then went running down the mountain, and so did you so..." I then cut him off. "I got the conch," I said calmly, Ralph then sat back down. "So who thinks that Ralph shouldn't be the chief." I thought that everyone would raise their hands, yet only my hunters did. Simon and Samneric didn't raise their hands, and they are my hunters. "who thinks I should be the chief?" Even fewer hands were raised. Suddenly I thought back to the days in England, how each choir member stood in two demure rows, everyone looking focused at me. I then went back into the meeting. I stood up and announced that I was going to make my own tribe and anyone who wanted to join could. I walked into the forest, Roger and my other hunters slowly followed me too. 

We found a little place to sleep and place our tribe. "There are going to be some rules now, we are going to go hunt everyday, another thing the word Ralph is now a taboo." I said "Now lets go hunting!" I yelled everyone cheered and grabbed their spears. We walked up to the mountain, and saw a heard of pigs. I then saw a pig mother pig, feeding her piglets. I signed to everyone that this is the one that we were going to get. "One two three!" I yelled and everyone  ran and throw their spears at the pig. Some people go their spear in the pig, as it ran off. It was a pig chase, we followed her for about 25 minutes, until we finally jumped on her. Everyone was stabbing her until I then found her throat and finally killed her. Everyone jumped off the pig and cheered, I stood there and paunched her. The head lay on the ground. I picked it up and pushed it onto my stick. "We will leave this up on the mountain top for the beast, we will now leave half of our food for the beast, so then it will not hurt or even hunt us. 

We got back to our camp everyone was tried, the pig was on the shoulders of Roger and I. We laid it down softly, and looked at our prize. "How are we going to make the fire?" asked Roger. We all looked at each other, thinking of different ways to start the fire. "We will simply take the fire from the mountain. We will dress ourselves up and steal some fire, then we can even get some other biguns." I said. That night we covered ourselves in paint and walked to the fire. We all looked like demoniac figures. We knew we would scare the littleuns. Roger then walked up first with a tree branch in hand. He then simply ran up to the fire light the branch and ran away. Then it was my turn. I slowly walked up to the mountain. Ralph and Piggy were there glaring at us. "We have killed a pig, and we are gong to have it tonight, if anyone wants to come they can. And if they want to join our tribe, we might just let you join."

Chapter 5 &6: The Beastie

Simon's Journal 

I woke up with Sam and Eric yelling in my ear. Something about a beastie, just hearing that awoke me right away. A beastie, I thought, so I was right. Sam and Eric were yelling at us, telling us about this beastie, how it almost got them. As they spoke the rest of us were quiet, dun. Ralph then called a meeting, were we all sat down as Ralph spoke about this monster. Jack then spoke "Well then we must find it and kill it!" he spoke bravado. "Well, we should eat first," Ralph said. We hunters sat in a circle, slowly eating fruit around us. No one spoke, different thoughts raced thought our head about what this creature could be. Ralph then stood up, announced that it was time to go. Jack was the first person to stand up and lead the way talking to Ralph the whole way the other side of the rocks. The rest of us didn't really know where we were headed, non of us have ever been on this side of the island. Ralph and Jack stood on the edge of the cliff looking all around. Then Ralph said that he was going to Clim along the edge to see what is next, and the no one should come along. Knowing that he was serious and that if anyone came he would turn waxy, I sat along the rocks. The rest of the hunters sat down too, wondering about the monster. "Well, I don't care what he says, I going to see what behind these rocks," Shouted Jack mutinously. And then he was off, we were alone. We all started talking about the beastie ad what it looked like. "If anything it is just a leviathan," said Roger calmly. "No, Sam and Eric said it was chasing them, so it must be something evil, " Maurice. "Look at the rocks over there," I said pointing at the huge pile of rocks about to fall over the cliff. I walked towards the rocks and softly pushed the top rock over the ledge. A few boys ran over to watch the rock fall into ocean, making a huge colossal splash that lightly misted us. For a second we all stood with pride over into the water. Soon all the hunters were over pushing every rock into the water seeing who can make the splash. Until Ralph and Jack appeared out of no where, glaring at us until Ralph broke the silence . "What are you doing, we are on a hunt and we are throwing rocks over the cliff!" We stood slice, until Jack lead us out into the forest.  We sat eating the fruit off the trees. I sat alone daydreaming about getting off the island. I also was thinking about the dream I had last night, how Ralph got into the ship while most of us were to late. I somehow new that he was going to be okay, yet I wasn't so sure about the rest of us. I walked up to Ralph who was starting at the horizon. "You're going to be okay." I said. His head turned slowly until our eyes met. He started at me with confusion "You're going to be fine." I repeted. His eyes went from mine, back onto the horizon. I walked back to the tree with the fruit grabbed another piece and sat back down. We sat around the tree for a good time. Until Jack stood up and started walking on. We all then followed him to see what was going on. I then knew, a pig hunt. Hundreds of pigs were running everywhere, as the hunters were following them. I stood behind, still daydreaming. Until I hear Ralph yelling. "Did you see, I hit one, I hit one, " Then Jack started yelling back at him, asking why he didn't grab it. We then moved on. Then Ralph said "Well we can't leave Piggy alone with the littleuns, someone needs to go back and tell him that we will be late." I then walked up out of the crowd and told them I wouldn't mind going back, and ran off. I ran off into the forest, alone. It toke me a while to finally get to the beach, where I sat alone in the hut, thinking about the day. Slowly falling asleep.
