Blog 10 - Dead Brains

Today we were with Piggy and Ralph. Last night Jack and his hunters stole Piggy's glasses and unfortunately, the fire went out. Ralph is very upset because he wants to go home. Without the fire, a ship won't be able to see us. Piggy recommended that we go talk to Jack and negotiate with words. Ralph instructed us to look good by combing our hair. We decided to tell Ralph it would be a good idea to bring spears - just in case.

"Let's go"

We crawled along the beach, thoughts of what would happen in our heads.

"They're not here." said Ralph.

The campfire area where Simon died was abandoned.

"They must be at the Castle Rock." said Ralph quietly. He examined the cliffs and continued to walk along.

We finally arrived to find a bunch of small boys painted with face paint. They stared at us with hate in their eyes.

Roger "greeted" Ralph.

"What business do you have here "

"Who are you, a soilder. Hahahahahahah."

Ralph blew the conch. He questioned the boys for Jack. They didn't know where he was.

"I'm here." said Jack

When Ralph explained how taking the glasses was wrong, Ralph fought him. They kept punching and stabbing each other. They finally stopped after Piggy whispered something in Ralph's ear. Ralph continued to talk.

Suddenly, Jack ordered the boys to take us away. The boys listened. Ralph and Piggy watched us be taken away.

Ralph tried to fight back for us. We watched Roger try pushing a boulder. It fell..... on Piggy and the Conch. Te conch shattered into a million pieces while Piggy's brains fell into the ocean. Both were washed away.

Jack forced us to join his tribe by whacking us with a whip. We both have huge marks on our backs that sting so badly. We now have to keep guard out for Ralph.

The boys are officially savages, and with another boy dead, we don't know what we'll do.

William-
Good job. Can you describe how Samneric become part of Jack's tribe?
-Emma
Ps. I saw that your picture of Ralph says he has black hair. Ralph is blond.

Emma, I added the description of them being forced that you wanted!

One thing I noticed about the blog is that it doesn't really show that it is from the perspective of Samneric, it sounds like a narrator. Also it was Piggy who told Jack that giving the glasses back was the right thing to do, not ralph.


P.S. Ralph has blonde hair

Unfortunately Ernie, I disagree. It uses "we" throughout.Also. Piggy whispered it into Ralph's ear to remind him. Finally, yes, I know he has blonde hair, my bad.
