Day 9

We found the beastie! Well at least the boys think they did, I couldn’t go off with em because of my asthma. Whenever I stay back from the boys when they go around the mountain, I like to go in the water and just relax. I’m afraid the boys would call me fat if I went swimming when they are there. I’ve gotten a real nice tan too. I like when the boys go off. It’s peaceful. They say we can’t build a fire on the mountain now because the beastie is up there, but I still don’t really think the beastie is for sure real. When they got back Jack and Ralph got into another fight and I don’t know what it was over. I don’t even bother to ask. Jack called an assembly though which I didn’t like because Ralph was the one that called assemblies. Jack got all upset because he wanted a new vote on who would be the new chief and nobody voted for him. He started crying and such and left our side of the island. He said to the boys if they want to go off and have fun and hunt then they know where to find him. Most of the biguns left to go onto Jack’s side. I don’t agree with their decision but whatever. All the biguns left are me, Ralph, and Samneric. Jack offered for us to join his side of the island for a feast, I didn’t really want to because I don’t like Jack, he can stay on his side of the island, far away from me. When we were at the feast we started doing that crazy dance thing, I don’t know why but maybe because it looked like it was going to rain. They started the dance and there was someone in the middle and I didn’t know who it was at first but it was Simon, and we killed him. It was an accident though I swear! We didn’t mean to! It was just in the moment and it just happened! Ralph feels real bad about it but I keep tellin him it was an accident! There ain’t nothing we can do now to get Simon back. And it was his fault for coming out of the forest like he did an such. There just nothing we can do now.Ralph is getting all crazy and he wanna go home, but who doesn’t. I miss my auntie, I miss how she sang to me when I was upset and would hug me so tight. I wonder if she misses me too. I bet she does. I wish this island had candy. I miss my old life. I didn’t mind waking up early and going to school, it was fun. Auntie would always cook me breakfast, my favorite was biscuits n gravy with grapes on the side. I would kill to have that right now, heck I was already apart of a killing! Last night Jack and his boys came and tried to hurt me, callin my name an such. I didn’t make no noise though, I stayed quiet like a mouse. They hurt us though, and they got my specs! I can hardly see anything now, Ralph and Samneric have to lead me around. The four of us is going to Jack’s side of the island to try an get my specs back and we also gon show him that we have the conch, something he don’t have. I don’t know how it’s gonna go, but I just hope I can get my specs back.

Day 5

Alrite! So lots has gone on lately. To start it all off we saw a ship, and we wanted to signal it with the smoke form the fire, but guess who let it out, that’s right, Jack! The ship never saw us, and there goes a chance of being rescued. Then Ralph yelled at Jack for it because all he cares about is hunting. Jack got really mad, so instead of pushing Ralph, he pushes me! Then he broke one of the lenses out of my glasses so I can only see out of one eye! If I didn’t have asthma, he would have it for him I tell ya! Jack is so mean. I really don’t like him. Samneric have been hunting with him to get meat, and all they got so far is one lousy pig. Then he didn’t even want to give me any when he cooked the meat. Simon was nice enough to give me some of his. No one has been helping Ralph and Simon build the shelters, and I can’t because of my asthma. The littluns only play so that doesn’t help Ralph. I wish I could, but honestly, I’m afraid I would mess it up and I don’t want Ralph mad at me. Ralph has been getting pretty upset lately with everything that we have been doing. He says we make rules and then don’t follow them. I think that’s true, but Jack has a lot to do with it because he never does anything but hunt, and get nothing. There has been a lot of talk lately about some beastie from the littluns. I don’t think it’s real and they just have bad dreams. They always cry in the night while I try to sleep. I don’t know if I am going to be able to be stuck with these boys any longer. I can put up with Ralph and Simon, but I don’t know about Jack.

Day 1

Day 1

Hi, I’m Piggy! Well, a lil about myself is that I live with my auntie because my mum and daddy died when I was lil. The kids at school call me Piggy but it’s not my real name. I don’t like that name. They call me Piggy because I’m fat. I wear specs. I also have asthma so Auntie tells me I shouldn’t run, or do anything that would make me lose my breath. I love candy, Auntie gives it to me everyday. Candy makes me really happy.

But I crashed onto this island with a whole bunch of other boys and I mad a friend named Ralph. He’s pretty nice. I was afraid after we crashed because there was no parents. I didn’t know what I was going to do because what am I supposed to do without my Auntie. And when we crashed I heard the pilot say they’re all dead, and I think he’s dead too. We found a conch shell together and I taught him how to make it make sound since I can’t because of my asthma. We gathered all the boys together so we are friends ever since the beginning. There was a lot of other boys that were on the plane too. Ralph thinks his dad is gonna come save us but I don’t. No one knows we are here. All the other boys run a lot and I can’t keep up. There’s twin boys too! The other day Ralph, Simon, and this older boy that leads the choir that I don’t like named Jack went to look around the land we’re on. Ralph made me stay back. I don’t know why, I felt really upset. I knew him from the start and he leaves me out when he finds someone cooler. It hurts my feelings. He told me to take the names of the boys but I couldn’t because they wouldn’t stop running around. And Ralph told the boys my name was Piggy and I told him I didn’t want to be called that. He doesn’t think about my feelings sometimes but that’s okay. I hope we get off this island soon, but I don’t think we will because how is anyone gonna know we’re here. I miss my Auntie.
