Worry, and fear quickly surround me. All the chaos has overran the island. I sneak down to the Castle Rock and see Sam and Eric guarding the front. They gave me food, but wouldn't come join my group. They told me that Jack was planning on hunting me the next day. I decided to stay close, and hide in the thicket. In the morning, i woke up to Jack questioning, and threatening one of the twins to find out where im at. They try and search for me in the thicket, but its too dense. I started to smell smoke, and i realize that Jack has set the forest on fire trying to lure me out. I leave my hiding spot and fight my way past Jack and his followers. I was being chased by Jack's hunters all body-painted savages. I end up running onto the beach, where i fall from exhaustion the boys were not far behind. I look up and see a naval officer standing over me. He begins to tell me that a boat had seen the forest fire. Jack's hunters got to the beach, and stopped upon seeing the officer. I began to realized i just got rescued right before i was about to experience a violent death. I burst out in tears, and felt embarrassed by everything that ha
 
When i awoke the next day, all i could think about was what happened to Simon last night. All the boys besides Piggy and I have changed into crazy people, not knowing whats right from wrong, having no control or say so in their own life. Jack has taking control of them, and turned them against my group. I had to talk to was Piggy, he was the only other person who understood what needed to happen for us to survive. After trying to get some rest i wasn't feeling to happy, and starting to loose interest in the signal fire. I was awakened by howling, and suddenly getting attacked by Jacks hunters.  They brutally beat all of us, we had no idea why we were getting attacked. We believed that they were coming to steal our fire, but we were wrong.. Jacks hunters came to take the only way of being rescued, Piggy's Glasses. When we woke up the next morning, we attempted to start the fire in the cold air but it didn't work. Piggy couldn't see anything, so i called a meeting to discuss the options we had. We tried to take the conch up to Castle Rock wanting to remind Jack's followers that I was the leader in charge. I commanded Jack to give back Piggy's classes after he tried to kick us off "his" island, but Jack only reacted in violence. Roger shoves a bolder down the mountainside and i hurry and jump out of the way but Piggy was hit and knocked him off the mountain side. Jack launches his spear at me, and the other quickly join. I hurry and escape the jungle. 
 
Piggy and I set out to make a new signal fire on the beach, instead of the mountain top because the beast we seen on the top of the mountain. Little by little all the kids started to join jack's group, because he was all talk about feasting and had no hope to get off the island my way. They stole some of our firewood, they are turning into savages. Acting like they don't have common sense because were alone. Piggy and I wanted to go to the feast with hopes that they can keep some control over the events. Jack is sitting on a king like throne, his face covered in mud and animal blood, and commanding all the littiuns to be like his servant. I asked Jack how he plans on weathering through the storm with his group because he has yet to make any shelter for anyone. His reply was for them to do the "wilding hunting dance." Everyone is caught up in this wild, silly dance out of no where we see a shadowy figure coming out of the forest. In their wild side, the other boys did not recognize him and started attacking Simon. Tearing him apart with their bare hands and teeth. I could see him struggling but couldn't hear him say anything, suddenly he trips and falls over the rocks onto the beach and the boys violently kill him.  The storm explodes all across the island, and everyone ran for shelter. 
 
No one is taking the fire seriously, and they are all worried about hunting and killing the pigs. They don't understand without the fire and smoke we are basically going to die. Being stuck on this island not staying focused on the main point, then we wont stay alive. I had a talk to them about the fear, and decide theirs nothing in it. I've started building huts, and thinking about the ways to maximize our changes of being rescued. After jack decided to leave my group, and start his own is when I was slowing loosing my power over everyone, they were all started having savage instincts, while Jack's power risen.

The first kid i ran into was named Piggy, i thought that was so hysterical, i had to tell everybody. Later piggy confronted me about telling everyone about his nickname. I told him well its better piggy, than fatty. Later on, i sounded the conch all the kids got together and we talked about how there are no adults, and we needed to organize a few things to look after themselves. Jack reminds me that we have already trapped a pig in the vines we i agreed that we need hunters to kill for meat. The next day piggy is very upset about the fact that no one knows we landed on this island, and there is no telling how long were going to be stuck on this island. Its hard for me to think about being here for so long, with no hope of getting off the island anytime soon. The whole group becomes scared of the reality of things. One of the smaller children claims he saw a "beastie" the night before. The older kids, and I tried to reassure all the littluns that their are no such things as monsters and that it was only a nightmare.. 

    Ralph. 

    I'm athletic, and have been elected leader of the boys here.
