Lord of the Flies: Post #5

Did you see that?
Ralph's Journal

I was in a good sleep. My eyes completely shut snoozing into a good dream. All the sudden Sam and Eric come up to me and was flailing my arm like it was a jump rope. They yelled out in fear, Ralph, Ralph, I think we saw a beastie. I thought it was just a little nightmare they had and they thought that they saw the beastie. Sam and Eric told me they whole story. They said that they were ridiculously tired so they fell asleep. They could not keep their little eyes peeled open. When they woke up they saw a beastie, and came running down to you. After I heard that story I called a meeting. I discuss that many people have seen this beastie, and I was tired of hearing of it. It is spreading everybody with fear. Now we are going to hunt it down. I organize an expedition to search for the beastie. I said that we will go to a part of the island that we have never been before and search for the beastie from there. My group was walking in the big plants and they hard dirt when we see a cave near some big plants. I was amazed. It was a big rocky brown colored cave with big plants around it. On the way up, I noticed that Jack was not being mean to me anymore. It was like he gave up trying to get the throne to be leader. He was actually nice to me. When I noticed that he was being nice to me, I also noticed that the other survivors were pushing down big heavy boulders down the hill. I yell at them that we need to be focusing on getting the fire back on. We gotta be focusing on getting the fire and the smoke creating so we could escape this terrible island. After we said that Jack lead us back down the island. We wanted to spread the news that we found a cave.

I was walking down the beach kicking the hot sand. Sometimes making drawings with my feet. Seeing guano every where. I was thinking about how the ocean's horizon was just a huge wall that was blocking my and the other boys dreams of escaping this island. The ocean's horizon looked interminable. Simon was right by me. I said to Simon. Do you ever think that we might be stuck here forever. Do you think we might never me rescued. Simon said with a nice heartwarming voice. Of course you will make it home. Of course you will be rescued. I then smiled and said you think so. He said I reassure you, that you will be rescued. Soon after I had the little talk with Simon it was time to be hunting for the beastie. I went into the jungle looking for the beastie. It was quiet. I saw a plant move. I griped my spear really tightly while my hands were sweating. All the sudden a huge boar comes out of the bushes. I threw they sphere as fast as I could. But I missed. It was the most exciting things I have ever did. I hit it I hit it. I hit the boar. I was repeating it with pride and with accomplishment. I almost killed the pig. I hit the boar. I yelled it to everybody. Jack was dun. But the boar escapes. I reenact the big chase. A boy name Robert was the playing the role of the boar. My hands were griped, hands sweating. When we were playing that scene it was starting to get dark. But still excited that I hit a boar. After we were done playing the scene I call to the group we will hunt the beast tomorrow morning for sure. Jack comes up to me with pride and says do you want to challenge me in the hunt to kill the beastie. I definitely agree. Almost killing that boar was very exciting. I felt like I actually accomplished something. I go up to Roger and Jack and say do you want to try to find the beastie. Of course they agree. Me, Jack and Roger start to climb the mountain. When we were almost at the top we see a huge dark ape figured shadow. I was freaking out. Jack looked bravado. Same with Roger. My hands were getting sweaty my hear pounding hard. I wanted to just scream and run back down to the beach. I hear pounding. I was hearing it getting louder with my mind. Me, Jack and Roger saw and heard enough. We screamed all the way down the mountain and warned the others that there was a scary ape beastie that pounds his chest really hard. I was terrified. I could not get that image out of my head. I could not get the pounding thunder like pounds out of my head. I was terrified.
