Journal entry Of an unknown date The last time I had written an entry was before I got on the plane. I had hoped for a new beginning, I was so tired of the boys at school teasing me all the time. Things didn’t get much better; in fact, I think they got much worse. And oh my, I survived an air crash, I have no words to explain how blessed I am, but at the same time this causes me extreme emotional pain. I am now so far away from home, and I can’t see my aunty. When we landed, I couldn’t see anyone around, except for the endless ocean and long stretches of beach. There was a terrifying heap of fire rising on the plane. There must have been other kids in it, I wonder if they had survived or where they have gone. Soon after I had landed on the island, I met a fair-haired boy named Ralph. There were creepers everywhere, making it almost impossible to walk without tripping on something. I remember looking into the distance and feeling a cold chill run down my spine, and the immense pain slowly take over me. The realization of this isolation hit me to the point of not being able to move or think. The worst part of all this is so far there have been no grownups seen around the island, which I’m really worried about, because there were no grownups around the boys at school, so they would pick on me. The island in many ways is exactly as …show more content…
You know, there were two people that could have been elected to be chief. Personally, I didn’t like either of them, Ralph seems friendly, but he backstabbed me by telling everyone to call me Piggy, and Jack seemed to just plain dislike me for some reason. But I got mocked at home, so why did I expect it would be any different here? Jack seems to be a heartless beast, when he stared at me with his piercing eyes, he had reminded me of the time long ago when my Auntie’s neighbour had brought home that wild wolf. For some reason, I have a bad feeling about
Krisel E. Journal #3 So many tragic events happened in the last four chapters of the novel, and some would probably consider it as a happy ending, but I don’t. After all, the violence between the boys have gone way too far. For some reasons, I found myself dissatisfied about how it ended because I feel like it was very open, but somehow, I think that this is how the author wanted to conclude the novel. In chapter nine, Simon died.
Did you ever want to feel humiliated by being naked on an island? If you do well the book I’m gonna be talking about is about a boy and a girl getting harassed by campers and getting sent to an island alone to survive and get humiliated. They are trying to survive by existing the island. The question we're talking about is Howie and Laura world is dangerous and malevolent or is it caring and worth exploring. I say yes
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. Throughout the book, these twins struggle to decide which of the two leaders to follow. In the end it seems that Samneric leave Ralph’s civil tribe and join Jack’s savage tribe. However, Samneric never change their beliefs.
As the reader has seen so far, evil is everywhere on this island, it’s trying to take over the boys, it's waiting for them
This boy was only dreading his trip to his new private school 30,000 feet in the air before blacking out and finding himself stranded and alone in a deserted island. But within the short time span of five weeks, he’s innocence was taken from him. I am lucky to interview Ralph Bradshaw, age 12, after weeks of silence, of his deadly, horrifying experience in the stranded island he would call “Hell” itself. Many know the tale of the 47 boys mysteriously disappearing and found wild-like, but Ralph knows there was more to it. After befriending Stanley and Simon, (seen in Pg. 2) he was appointed leader by majority vote.
Nevertheless they had to find ways to collaborate and manage their way through the island by exploring. The boys had to use their survival instinct to survive through tough situations, though they had no rules or punishments and the island changed the way they lived. There
This past week, dozens of parent’s minds were put to ease as they embraced their lost boys. Over 30 boys were found alive and well on a deserted island after a plane crash about a month ago. However, some parents had no child to hug at the airport, as two children – “Piggy” Charles and Simon Anson both sadly perished on the island. The Island Times got an exclusive interview with Ralph from “The Lord of the Flies” in which he recounted his time on the island “We arrived on the island from a plane crash about a month ago, scared and hungry. The other boys elected me as their chief, but eventually Jack Merridew took over.
This island has no adults, no civilization, and no rules, making it seemingly perfect for a group of young boys. The boys’ adventures are full of insanity, fun, and fear. The plot of this
The boys no longer had adults in their lives, and because of this void, they had to become responsible. They attempted to create rules, shelters, and a way off the island. They attempted to provide for one another, and eventually began to act a little like adults. “…The ground was hardened by an accustomed tread and as Jack rose to his full height he heard something moving on it.
For instance what did the boys on the island have to look to
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.
This shows the human nature of children and men when they are away from society and order for a long time. If they do not get what they want, then they will drive themselves crazy trying to fight and in turn, become savages, who are focused on killing and hunting. They are blinded by their anger and illusions that they forget about the real point, which is trying to escape from the island and their new goal is to kill each other off so they alone can be the chief of the island, but eventually all the boys will have to end up dying from natural causes or battles if they are not saved by a ship. Their morals are ruined and this leads to further chaos on the island. Once the chaos starts to happen on the island, Ralph also starts to rethink his idea of being chief.
When most people describe islands they are usually focused on the beautiful beaches. Much like with adulthood kids only see the “beaches”. In reality there is a lot more that goes on behind the pretty beaches. The rest of the island is scary and dark. Once the boy have to venture past the beaches they realize how scary the island (adulthood) really is.
How does fear affect how people act? What is fear? First off fear is defined as an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that something is dangerous. Fear is also a powerful emotion that can affect people in many different ways including some negative ways like making people lose their sense of mind. In Lord of The Flies fear caused the boys to become scared of the unknown and changed the way they thought.
