Simon and Piggy. They are both gone now, both picked up by the tides and pulled into the sea. I have no one by my side anymore, everyone has left to join Jack’s tribe even the reluctant littluns Samneric joined the tribe too. I’ve been walking around trying to find things to entertain myself for the past day or so, keeping the signal fire going so we can all get rescued. Jack doesn’t care about anyone but himself, he doesn’t want to get rescued, he wants to play around on this island. I received information from Samneric that Jack is planning on getting his hunters to find and kill me. I had to hide just because Jack hates me does not mean he has to kill me. I hide in the forest spying on Castle Rock, the new location Jack and his tribe have chosen to relocate. From this location I can see everything …show more content…

I see them preparing to hunt me down. Loud chants and stomps from the hunters fill my ears, it's started, the hunt for me has started. I hear them yelling and I see them running towards the area of my hiding spot, I stay put as they inch closer to it, my heart is pounding against my chest as I try to stay as quiet as a mouse. What do I do now? I ask myself. I start to back up and I trip over a rock causing myself to fall and land on my butt with a loud thud, which caught the attention of the Jack and his hunters. They spotted me and I ran, I ran like i’ve never ran before in my life. I dodged trees, bushes and vines that hung low as I try to run and find a new hiding spot to stay clear of the savage hunters. I’m panting, trying to catch my

Simon is the only boy who doesn't appear to be afraid of the forest. It might be because he knows that he's safer alone than with the other boys. This quote represents fear, because it shows Simon doesn’t mind being alone in the forest, while the rest other boys are too scared to be alone. It also shows that Simon much rather prefers to be alone than with all the other boys, because of all the savagery that's been going on. Simon is different from the other boys, because he is both an independent and a very observant person.

Is it right to leave behind what a person believes in order to join a safer group? In William Golding’s classic novel Lord of the Flies the characters Sam and Eric are very civil characters who makes the decision to “go with the flow” from the moment the plane crashes to the moment the boys are rescued.

Living on the island was amazing. There were no adults to tell the boys and me what to do and there were no rules; we were free to do whatever we pleased. I could hunt pigs whenever I wanted and I could swim as much as I wanted. The only negatives about the island were Piggy, Ralph, Simon and a few other boys. They believed we should come up with civilized solutions, light a signal fire, and build shelters before hunting for food.

1. But a sign came down from the world of grown-ups . . . (95) The significance of this quote is that a warning sign was sent to the island (plane, helicopter, or some flying vehicle) but none of the boys were awake so the “grownups” were unaware about their whereabouts. The fire had died down and so did the smoke (at this current point) for the grownups to see if anyone was stranded on the island.

They chose a leader who calamitously failed. A leader who was favored by society. A leader who the stranded boys put their trust in. If only the boys ignored social standards, their situation could have been exceptionally different. William Golding’s, Lord of the Flies, reveals that leadership is not limited to those who are popular; other factors, aside from social status, should be considered, as demonstrated through the archetype of the characters, the author’s point of view, and the resolution of the story.

In The Lord of the Flies, the boys destroy their chance of having a peaceful Utopia by their lack of togetherness and organization. Since Jack and Ralph are the two having the feud that start the downfall of the island, it’s their fault. If Jack and Ralph could get along, at least for the sake of others, then their civilization could be a lot better. Using Zimbardo’s theories to illustrate the destruction the boys have caused, the theories outline how no one would die or be hurt and they all could be rescued sooner if they work together. Therefore, the catastrophe of the island’s civilization is their doing.

This brutal hunt wasn’t for nothing though, in fact, let me introduce the story that changed my life forever. Welcome to the great antelope hunt.

I suppose it was about three months ago when our plane crashed and we were stranded on the island. I heard from others that the plane was shot and part of it went up in flames as it crashed but our group was able to survive because we were in the other part of the plane. I’m not quite sure how many of us were on the island in the beginning. There might have been about twenty-five of us if I had to guess. It was Piggy’s job to keep track of everyone when we first landed on the island.

The beast is much more aware of its back trail when said trail is fresh. It’s better to still-hunt rather than follow in these situations. This is especially true if the animal isn’t in a clear line of sight and keeps stopping to munch on assorted woodland fare. Stop Immediately If You Make Noise: Stop what you’re doing immediately if you step on a twig or make other noise. A deer, for example, may freeze and stare in your direction if it hears you, but will eventually go back about its business if you don’t move or make a sound.

I was thinking about trying to turn around and fight him, but obviously more than likely that would end with my death. I figured It was going to have to do something soon, so I did something most would not do in an unknown area, I jumped in the murky green water and dived to the very bottom and hid in the mud. I did this till I thought the monster was gone, but just to be sure, I stayed down there for a little over two hours, just to be absolutely sure. I was glad my suit, had a large supply of air

When he was alive, the Captain would always say, “Now, that’s what I call being struck down by the Laws of God and Nature,” when they happened upon mass destruction of this type and magnitude. “That place needed a good douching out,” was what he said when they sailed into Port of Spain, Trinidad, in the Gulf of Paria, and found it destroyed by a hurricane about a year after Thomas began living with him. At the time, Thomas thought Captain Jackson’s views harsh, but not anymore. He now understood why the Captain had said what he said.
