Blog 2 - Disgusted

The Link to this Prompt is here.

Salvages. Everyone's pathetic. I feel my stomach being warped by their sight. They have no respect, no sense of anything. It's a shame.

Today, as we came together, Ralph recommended that we start a fire to make ships see us. Immediately, they all stormed off like a large mob of sickness. They found it irresistible to become disrespectful and rude.

I picked up the conch, and followed them. They all made a massive pile of wood. I tried to warn them about how it would be too large, but they shunned me because of how fat I am. They all grabbed piece after piece, and every piece was one more step closer to causing shameful death. They didn't care. This was obviously a popularity contest that I wasn't winning.

They then wondered how to light this pile of safety hazard. They immediately grabbed my spectacles.

"His Specs, let's use them" Someone said

I tried so hard but everyone considered me a stupid loser that didn't know nothing. They addressed me scornfully. The sun reflected onto the fire and a flame bursted into a fiery explosion. Tree after tree, leave after leave, twig after twig, every bit of the island was engulfed in a nimble flame that had no emotion or feelings. They were all stupefied. They didn't know what to do.

I knew I needed to speak. As I tried to get their attention, Jack, who I realized is quite officious, constantly interrupted me while I tried to make my point. The tumult of the kids made it even harder to make my point.

"You did nothing fatty."

"You just sat around"

I felt so stupid and ashamed. I can't understand why I was born fat. Why was I tortured? I had the conch and I had the right to speak. I don't get why people are like this but at least I know that I'm better than them.

Your first paragraph clearly and immediately sets up Piggy as being a moral authority and a person of reason and conscience. It's great.

Amazing job! One of the best I've seen! Can you fix "salvages"? It should be savages. Also, what about the littlun with the birthmark? Still, great job!
