Lord Of The Flies 8

Ralph's Journal

My tribe and I woke up this morning very cold because we had no fire. It was also really hard for Piggy to get around because he didn't have his specs. I blew the conch in the morning and told everyone that hadn't joined Jack's tribe yet, that the only way we could basically survive was if we joined Jack's tribe, or atleast tried to make peace with them. When we arrive at the Castle Rock, we see Jack had gotten some of his tribe members to be guards. I immediately see Jack, and next thing you know were face to face. I tried really hard to tell Jack why we needed to have a signal fire and not fight over Piggy's specs. Jack obviously doesn't care and he orders some tribe members to tie Samneric up. Jack and I begin to fight again, Jack took his spear and jabbed it in my ribs. Piggy was trying to yell over all the comotion and remind us of the importance of everything. At the top of the hill, Roger was putting all his weight on this lever thing and then a big huge boulder flew in the air, hitting Piggy and making the conch smash into a million little peices. Now Piggy is dead and I am all alone. I ran into the forest to get away from all this horrible stuff as my ribs were throbbing in pain. As I was walking through the forest I found the LOTF and i knocked it over and the skull breaks in half, I take the stick to use it as my weapon against Jack. That night I go down to Castle Rock, I find Samneric being the guards, they tell me that tomorrow Jack is going to send the entire tribe to hunt and kill me. I found a thicket, I slept in that because nobody could see in it. In the morning a group of Jack's tribe finds the thicket but it is to thick for them to get in and I am able to get them away. Then I smell smoke, then I realize Jack let the entire island on fire and he is trying to find me by letting the fire lead me away. As I was running I saw Jack and his tribe, I some how managed to get away from the tribe and I arrived at the shore of the ocean where I collapsed of tiredness. When I look up I suddenly see... an adult... in a Navy uniform. The officer tells me that because of the huge fire, the ship came to see what was going on. I was to excited, overwhelmed to even explain. I started crying as almost all the other boys did too.
