I Hate Him!

Lord Of The Flies

Journal Entry 4

Perspective: Piggy

sometimes it's fun to watch the littluns play in the sand. I remember being a littlun. I also remember being home. I want to go home so bad. I can't wait until we're saved. If we even are. I hope someone sees our signal fires we've been putting. Jack was the keeper of the fire today. It's his job to keep the smoke going. He's been hunting too much. I hope he is keeping the fire good and smoky. Simon is the only one looking after the littluns. they are all having a hard time with each other. Roger is being mean. I don't want to get that involved. Johnny is copying Roger. I hope he realizes it's not the right way to be around people.

A ship!!! there's actually a ship! we could go home if they see the signal smoke! oh gosh I hope the smoke is still up. The fire!! it went out! they need my glasses. It's so hard running up this hill. Ralph is already in the middle of the mountain. I can't run fast. I wouldn't even have to do this if Jack had kept the fire going! instead he's hunting! it's too late. we lost our chance. the ship is gone. I HATE JACK!! I can't contain it. When he gets back I'm going to let him have it!

now look. he's back from hunting. with a pig. the fire was much more important then a pig. He's so happy. wait until he finds out he messed up and took away our chances of getting off this island. as soon as he comes up to us I scream at him. I told him he took away our chances. He's messed up. I can see the guilt in his eyes. He's trying to turn the blame on me now. He hates me. Ralph told him it's not my fault. He hit my specs off and down the cliff. That bloody child! I hate him. Now he's not giving me my food I deserve. at least Simon tried to give me food. But Jack stopped him. I guess I'll just have too but up with him. Unfortunately.

I like the emotion that you used and how you actually go into the characters mind and wrote from his prospective. I think it was creative when you used words that people actually say from England like "That bloody child!" that you said when you were talking about Jack. I also liked how you summarized the chapter but since you wrote it in a specific perspective that it doesn't seem like you summarized it.
