Piggy- day 6

Journal                                                                                                                  6th day on island

I am writing this morning because I couldn't write last night. Yesterday a lot happened in the last hour or two. Ralph called a meeting. I tried to reassure everyone about the beastie, but Jack interrupted me. He wants everyone to fight and hunt, and lose their sanity! He and I got into a fight. Again. All the kids followed him except for Simon. I hope Simon and Ralph and me stick together. And I hope me and Jack don't fight anymore, even though we probably will.

Journal Entry #2

Okay after I was interrupted from the little ones i'm back on writing. I so want to beat jack up sometimes. I am so tired of him being so mean and bossy. He tries so hard to be the leader but doesn't he understand he is not. Well imma tell you that jack did something very stupid. Earlier he was suppose to go hunting by himself but instead he goes and takes the twins who were suppose to watch the fire!!!! WHY!!!?? I don't understand him! The fire went out because of him! He makes me so mad! A ship could have rescued us. I think we should destroy him. Later that night he was like "I killed this pig ralph you should have been there." No one cares! All i want is to be part of something!!! No one understands me at all.
To be continued...

Jack #3

What is Ralph talking about. We need meat, we need to hunt. The fire isn't that important. Who cares if we get saved we have what we need here. He can't tell me what to do, his rules don't matter here. He knows i'm stronger he must, he hasn't even killed anything and I have. I should be leader and the other kids know that, i'm sure of it. I just need to get rid of Ralph and then I will be the only option for the leader.

Jack.
   I finally killed a pig today, it was Great! I have proved to the rest of the boys i am strong and i wasn't scared. I loved the whole thing, it was just so fun having all the blood on me and capturing the pig.I'm going hunting everyday from now on.  I mean i did something that no one else has on the island. There all scaredy-cats! I don't know why Piggy and Ralph were so angry at me, i did get all of us food. They should be thankful for what i have done. I feel like i should become the chief because i can teach everyone how to hunt and we could go hunting everyday! Well hopefully everyone will agree with me.

Piggy- day 4

Journal,                                                                           4th day on island

We might have gone home today if it wasn't for that bloody Jack!! Ralph saw a ship from the beach but the fire was out!! All because Jack couldn't wait to kill something. You know journal, I'm glad you were in my pocket. Simon gave me his meat tonight. I want to thank him, but I'm afraid the others will make fun of me and him. Today has been crazy. We almost went home, I got in a fight, and almost didn't get to eat. Yep, this has been one crazy day. Well, I am so tired, so Imma go to bed. Goodnight journal.

Jack #2

I finally killed a pig, I can't believe it. Now they know i'm strong. Now they know and they will look up to me. I don't know why Jack is so mad? I got us meat. Thats all that really matters, we need meat to survive. Now that I have killed a pig I know I can catch and kill more. If I get a barb for the end of my spear I could probably kill one my self. Then I won't even need there help. Then they might even fear me because they will know what I can do.

Piggy's Journal Entry #1

Journal Entry #1

Hello My dear Journal and my only friend,

Everyone is so mean on this Island and I cannot stand it anymore!!! Okay it all started out with just me and Ralph being on this Island. I thought maybe if I ask his name and be kind to him I could actually make a friend. I guess that was a good idea, but not really. He wasn't very actually interested in knowing my name at all. I don't why I said my nickname out loud to him I shouldn't have said anything about that. I was gonna tell him my name but instead of that I told him I didn't care what they called me as long as they don't call me "PIGGY" He laughed at me and that actually hurt my feelings. I guess I'll have to stick with Piggy since I had to open my pig mouth. Ralph isn't really that nice and he isn't interested in anything I say. I know I am fat and I have glasses but I'm very smart and I can help and I have good ideas too For instance me and Ralph went swimming and of course I don't swim because of my asthma. Ralph found a shell and I told him to blow on it and I don't I told him to blow it so it can find the others because it became worse after all if that!!! 

As Ralph blew the shell of course others came and that is when I felt left out the worse because we met this really mean boy named Jack. He CALLED ME FATTY! That was so mean and I tried so hard to be nice and try to help but no one never listens to me!!! That makes me feel so mad and I could just blow up sometimes. What makes me the maddest is that they picked Ralph as a leader! Really Ralph! All he wants to do is blow on the shell and the only reason they picked him is because he had the shell! I'll have to write later the boys are going crazy! I better go try and help even though I know it won't work.

Jack #1

I wanted to kill that pig but I just couldn't and now every one thinks i'm weak so now I must kill a pig or something. I just need to kill to show that I am strong and brave and that I am not to be messed with. Ralph and Simon think we should all be building huts but I need to be hunting. It's like they don't understand that we need meat and I will be the one to get it for us. I just need to try harder to catch a pig and I'll get one. Then they'll see what I can really do.

Piggy's Journal

I have a real name, but for now just call me Piggy. These boys are just out of control, can't they see that this isn't just fun and games and that we will be stuck on this island forever? Ralph has taken over as chief now, what does he know about being a leader? He has been such a jerk lately. We have this routine were if you have the conch shell, you can talk. But every time I get it, no one listens and they all ignore me. And Jack, gosh, sometimes I just want to tell him what I really think, he is so dumb. I miss home, where people actually care and understand me. . . sometimes I get scared and it's harder to stay strong when we also have a horrible beast roaming around the jungle. I don't know what to do. I think I may be going crazy. I get hungry a lot and I'm always tired. Geezz I just wan to get out of here!! Well Ralph is calling me... better go see what he wants.

Journal Entry 1                                                               1st Day on Island

While Ralph, Simon, and Jack went traipsing of into the forest, I got stuck trying to get all of the kids names. Of course they ran off and went wild.And when they had to light a fire, Ralph just grabbed my glasses off my face! I tried to remind them about the conch shell rule we had made not 20 minutes ago, but does anyone listen to me? What are we going to do without an adult? I mean, sure Ralph will be okay of a leader now, but what about later, when he doesn't know what to do anymore than the rest of us? I swear, my head is going to EXPLODE!!!

Piggy Journal

Well my name is Piggy, well it's not really Piggy but thats what everyone calls me. Stupid Ralph.... I am stuck on an island with all these kids. There are no adults and we are trying to figure out how to survive. We have had no civilization. I found a conch shell and now Ralph has taken over as chief. And now he has the conch; even though I found it. He has been such a jerk to me since we've been here. He shouldn't be chief. He has no idea what hes doing. Everytime I get the conch shell Jack just tells me to shut up. I just want to beat him senseless. I want to go home and see my auntie so bad. All the children are scared... They say there is a beastie snake thing... All the older boys say it's not real but I'm scared too. What if there is a beastie snake thing? I wish I had some good food, i'm so hungry and my auntie said I need to eat all different kinds of food but all i've eaten is fruit. I wish I was back home in my bed with my auntie tucking me in. I'm so sleepy i'm going to go to sleep.

Lord of the Flies: Character Journals

On days you finish early with your reading journal, discussion, questions, or literature circles, I would like for you to keep a character journal through Blogger. Your journal should only focus on the chapters you have already read. You should have already been invited to the blog (if not, please see me). Please read the instructions below.

Keep a journal as if you are one of the characters who has been marooned on this island. Try to evoke the personality of your character through the words you choose. For example, Jack's journal would be more sophisticated than Ralph's because he is older and seems to be more educated.

Our author, William Golding, does not provide us with any information on where the boys were going, what happened to cause the plan crash, or why there are no adult survivors. You need to provide insight into these things with your journal.

While you are journaling, be sure to hook your reader within the first couple of sentences. This means that the reader is so hooked on what you are saying that he or she just wants to keep reading! Also, tell the reader the problems you are facing: is it a lack of shelter, food, water? or it is just being homesick and scared you will never make it home? Be sure you introduce yourself in some way and you use lots of sensory words so your reader can hear, smell, touch, taste, and see what you are describing.

This is meant to be creative and fun, so pictures or drawings are welcomed!
