CHAPTER 2: FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN

Dear Diary

It is still the first day on the island we have hopes of being rescued but you never know. I am still in charge of the choir yes it is me Jack. I think this island is a cool place there are trees and a platform for group meetings plus there are pigs to eat! I think the beasties are just the kid’s minds playing with them. I think they think there are just snakes. I am not afraid of them at al I am just like whatever. Our plan right now to get rescued is to start a signal fire this way when boats come they will see the smoke. This is a very good method and I think it will work well. At first we had no way to start the fire it was sort of embarrassing really but then piggy came up and I saw his specs. I thought that we could use them so I told Ralph to take them and start it and he did. But then while we were having a discussion the embers flew and lit the whole other side of the island on fire. This although cool brought us our first death sadly as the poor kid who had the thing on his face was burned to death. Although I could have prevented the boys death I think I am different because I am not afraid to kill something every once in a while and I am not scared of anything. When I go to bed at night I am thinking about fate and how it can have strange effects. Then I realize that things happen for a reason and I should just respect that.
