Chapter 10 The shell and the glasses .. Simon


Dear Diary,
This Sucks! I was killed because everyone thought I was the beast which isn’t fair at all. I should have taken the LOTF’s advice and not spoken to the boys. I would be alive right now. Ralph and Piggy’s discussion didn’t help either. They lied and said that they didn’t help to kill me.
Jack's tribe is another holocaust waiting to happen. He treats all of his people like slaves telling them to get water for him and saying if they do they will get meat. Jack doesn’t realize that he is missing the most basic things: shelter and a bathing pool. So what if hunting is fun, you can’t eat pig without fire!
I feel really bad for Ralph and his tribe because they got attacked by Jack, Roger, and Maurice. They came in the shelter and started to beat up Piggy, Ralph, and SamnEric but none of the littluns were hurt. The thing is, they took something very important. They took the thing that could get everyone rescued. They took Piggy’s glasses!

Chapter 9 A View to Death


1. The flies prefer the pigs flesh and guts instead of Simon’s.
2. Simon goes to the mountain top to see what the beast really is.
3. Simon releases the strings of the parachute to set the beast free.
4. Ralph says that they should go so they arent looked at as a lesser authority.
5. They get unified by Piggy geting burnt by the meat on the stick and everyone laughs.
6. Jack decides that the conch no longer has meaning in his tribe.
7. The weather gets really bad and it starts to rain really hard.
8. The chant they sing is “Kill the beast, cut his throat, spill his blood”.
9. Simon comes out of the jungle and tries to tell them that the beast is the dead aviator.

10. Paragraph

I think that Simon was the downfall to his own life. Simon should have taken the warning from the LOTF. Then he could have lived and not told them about the beast. He also could have waited till the next day to tell them this way he could be seen in a better light and not be mistaken for the beast.

Chapter 8 A Gift For the Darkness.



The scene that I chose is the one where Simon is talking to the Lord of the Flies.
This one to me is very scary and gruesome. In the scene the pig head is on the stick and it is bleeding and all of the flies are surrounding it. So here is how it goes in order: Jack and his hunters kill the pig and violate it. Then Jack wants to make a sacrifice to the beast so it won’t bother them. He sharpens a stick and puts one end in the ground and one end in the cut off head of the pig. And while it’s bleeding, he just leaves it with all of the guts lying on the floor. This is when Simon comes in; he is there and watched the whole thing. When he is sitting there the LOTF starts to talk to him. The LOTF tells him he is batty and how he likes Jack, Ralph, Piggy, and all of the others. But when the LOTF tells him to leave and he doesn’t, that’s when he either faints or dies. This to me is very creepy and yet I want to read on and learn more about the LOTF.
