Today we were hunting for the beastie. We abandoned the littluns and Piggy and all of the olduns looked. We went to the other side of the island to what we called "Castle Rock". It was a place that only Jack had explored. He and Ralph both believed it was where the beastie resided. It was a bunch of boulders stacked on each other. It loomed above all of us.
"I'll go, I'm leader." Ralph said.
"I'll go too." Jack said.
They went inside of the cavern to find nothing. Jack thought it would be a great base station. Ralph Disagreed. He said it smelled terrible.
We were still on a quest to find the beastie. We all wanted to take a break before we went all the way to the other side of the island. Suddenly,
"Kill the Pig, cut it's throat" was being shouted by the crowd.
Suddenly I found myself right in the action, trying to throw a spear at Robert. It was infuriating when I missed him. I kept trying to get him. It felt really good to let it all out. I didn't care about rules and the punishments. Those no longer seemed important. Instead, I tried to do everything Jack, Simon, and even Ralph were doing. I lost control, and when we stopped it was overwhelming.
When we stopped Robert sniveled. He was hurt. I didn't really care and I was about ready to slither his throat and eat his blood.
Ralph then thought about Piggy and the littluns.
"Someone has to go back." Ralph said.
"Alone?" I asked.
"Yes Roger, alone." Ralph replied.
"I'll go if you like. I don't mind, honestly." Simon said.
Before Ralph could say anything Ralph trotted off into the forest.
We all walked along the what seemed like infinite pig run. I was so tired. We climbed across boulders, coverts, and weeds. We finally arrived at the base of the mountain. Ralph and Jack were uncompromising.
"Let's Go."
"We need three people."
"We need to warn Piggy."
"Simon already went"
After what seemed like hours of negotiating, they ended up taking me with them. As we ascended the mountain, it became darker. The blunder of stars provided enough light to see. We stopped. Jack left us to find the beastie.
I became more nervous. The beastie could come out any second to attack us. Ralph kept asking me random questions, but I really wasn't in the mood to answer them. I could have addressed him less sagely.
"Yes" I replied in a low tone.
Unexpectedly, Jack comes back. He says he saw an ape.
I froze.
"I'll go, I'm leader." Ralph said.

Great blog. I like the open ending. There are some simple spelling and grammar mistakes though. If you read through it you should find them all.

William, William, William,
Again you aren't getting inside the head of the characters. I only say this because I know you are capable of this. Don't be afraid to express Roger's feelings, don't be afraid to say how much he despises those who go against Jack and savagery.
But I will give credit where credit is due, it was a magnificent blog entry and I really enjoyed reading. Very hard to find any errors.
P.S. It's bigun's not oldun's.
