Lord of the Flies

  • Lord of the Flies: chapter#2
  • Fire on the Mountain
  • Perspective: Simon
  • Title of the entree: The BIGGEST smoke call ever

After Ralph, Jack and my self finished hiking down that mountain we headed to the platform for another meeting. Ralph got the conch and started to blow as hard as he could so everybody could here. It kind of hurt my ears because I was so close to the deep sound. After a few minutes the plat form was really full with tired, wet, and sun burnt kids. Finally the meeting came into order and Ralph came up to speak of the knowledge me, Ralph and Jack have discovered. After we were done talking about how this was a inhabited island and that we were going to have to take care of our selves one of the little kids came up to Ralph and was to embarrassed to say what he wanted to but Ralph finally induced to say it. And at first I thought he just had a really bad nightmare or heatstroke but then after I thought about it I kind of started to believe him. But what the small boy was talking about was a beastie snake thing that he said he saw. After we were talking about that Ralph wanted to have a really big signal on top of the mountain me, Ralph, and Jack were on because it was the tallest and if any ship or plane is around we can signal them to save us. Ralph thought that we would need to build a fire there and as soon as Ralph said that, Jack arose to go get wood and for some reason everybody else forgot about me and Ralph and were officious to jack and wanted to help so then we all started to pick up pieces of wood an started too hike up the mountain. But for some reason the small from earlier was slow and didn’t really look like he had much ebullience in him.

So he was left behind with out anybody really knowing And I wanted to walk with him but needed to catch up so I couldn’t besides I know he’s going to catch up any know and then. When the whole gang was at the top of the mountain, all of us were putting up wood into a pile so we can make a big fire but when we were done we had a little problem. None of us had any matches so we couldn’t light the fire but then jack suggested that we rub two sticks together until it sparks but we all said that that way was too slow. Then somebody who was obviously smart said use piggys glasses to get the burning hot sunray through the glasses and hold it in one spot until there is a fire and it worked. Piggy brought the conch so he could talk but then Jack was being mean and errant so Ralph said that the talking with the rule stands everywhere. After that argument the fire started to get a little crazy and big pieces of burnt red hot wood started flying everywhere onto the forest which started fires everywhere. And then people started to notice that the kid who talked about the beastie thing wasn’t here that we realized that he got stuck in the forest with the fire and he died. Man I really starting to like that kid and try to make friends with him but now since we have already lost a comrade on the first day we were all martyred by his lost.

I think you did a great job. They way you phrased you're sentences and placed your words sounded exactly like what I envisioned Simon sounding like. I think you talked about the beastie well too.
