Piggy's Monologue

1902 Words8 Pages

They 've just told us we need to evacuate for World War II. I have mixed feelings about hsving to leave home. It might be fun to able to go to a new place, but I will also miss home greatly. I have just packed up all of my belongings to go on the plane. At least where we go there will be no war and everything will be safe, but I 'll still think sbout home every day I 'm there.

Everyone has just boarded the plane, some people are crying, while others seem optimistic about having to go to the new place. The war that we have to leave from isn 't in the new place. I wonder if anything there is like England? The thought of leaving home is scary to me, but the plane is cool with a real pilot and parachutes (not that we 'll need them).

Ralph,Jack, and Simon have went off exploring the island to see what is psst the start of the forest and what we know. Piggy tried to go, but they didn 't let him go and made him come back. It is funny how on the first day Piggy was the one taking the names of everyone and no one has bothered to respect his. From the first day it was clear that Jack didn 't like Piggy or his ideas, but it was surprising to not see Ralph stick up for him. Ralph instead joined in with Jack, while Simon stayed quiet. I sometimes wonder about Simon he 's always so quiet and rarely ever talks to anyone. He is very well ores ted on the island, yet no one knows his opinions as whine the conch comes to him
