Journal Entry 2
Perspective: Jack
Beastie?
I want to be leader. I hate not being able to have my way. I wish I could Pinch the leader position. I deserve to be a leader. I mean yea Hunter leader is cool but I don't get to boss anyone around except for my choir and I've been bossing them around. And this Piggy kid, who does he think he is? He can't boss me around. I don't seem to recall him being the leader. He's just that annoying kid that no one cares about. And I'm going to show it to him. "Shut up" I say every time he talks. He shows recrimination but not enough to stop me. Even when he has the conch in his hands which means only he can talk I still tell him to shut up. I don't think anyone but Ralph likes him very much. I am officious for my turn. I have things to say and I finally won't be interrupted. I wish I could just have my way. If I did I would exclude Piggy From the crowd. I don't care if I'm errant. I should have my way.
As it goes to a little kid's turn he can't talk. What a chicken. I can't help but laugh at him. When I laugh at him everyone laughs at him. He's starting to cry because he's so shy. I don't even feel bad for him. If he's too shy to talk he might as well give it to someone else. Now look at Piggy standing up for him. Now he's getting annoying. I'm getting irritated of this kid. This kid keeps telling everyone there's a monster. He keeps asking Ralph and the Hunters what we're going to do to this so called Beastie. No one believes this kid. There's no such thing as monsters. If there really is a beastie, I don't care what it does. But i know there isn't. Everyone knows there's only us and animals on this island. Piggy doesn't think the nazy is going to save us because no one knows we're here. I sort of have to agree. I think we'll be here for a while. We've come to the decision that we are going to start a fire so the smoke will rise and someone at sea might see it. We walked up to the top of the mountain. Great, we don't have a way to start a fire. Ralph should have thought of that before. Wait! Piggy's specs. We can use those to start a fire.
Good. We have a fire going. But there's no smoke. Ralph ordered all of us to find more wood. I'll leave that to the kids to do. As soon as we cam back with more wood the fire grew. This was a big mistake. Now the fires are spreading into the forest. Snakes are coming out of the bushes because of the fire. This was a stupid and bad idea. I don't think anyone would even see the smoke. Now Ralph's wondering where The Beastie kid is. He's no where to be found. Piggy and Ralph think he's somewhere in the forest and that he's dead. They think that while he was getting more wood the fire trapped him. He's probably dead. And I can't help but feel a little bit sorry for him. He really must had been Martyred.

I think that you did a great job of showing the reader who Jack really is. I interpreted the part when you said that Piggy was stranding up for the little boy differently. I thought that Piggy just spoke up for the little and told the rest of the boys what he was sayiing because he was to shy to talk to all of the boys at once. I like the part when you said how Ralph feels about piggy it really sheds a different light on Ralph. Before I just thought of Ralph as not caring for Piggy but I didn't know that he really did not like him.
