"beastie"


            The "little uns" whisper of a snake-like thing a "beastie". When I first heard of this thing I did not really acknowledge it like the older boys. A few days later during the assembly the boys began to speak of the beastie again. The little uns described the beastie as a snake-like thing as they did before. Of course jack says he is going to kill and doesn’t care what it is. Ralph and I are sort of on the same page. He thinks of the beastie as the little uns imagination and I just do not believe in such things. Simon says it is them, but I cannot quite understand what he means by that. - Piggy

 

           I think the beastie is not real. I know it symbolizes the fear in the boys. I personally agree with Simon's suggestion. He suggests the beast is them. The longer the boys stay on the island the more they become more beast like. - Sabrina

D-Day Journal

After seeing all those people dead William began to pose questions on the goodness of mankind. William Goldberg was affected by all the death on D-Day. When seeing all that death violence, he had a different view on mankind.   Mankind is born with goodness and learns barbaric ways. I say this because babies are innocent and learn from their surroundings. People are not just barbaric, they learn how to. I also think man could be born with selfishness and learn to be civilized because we learn so many things from watching our surroundings. We are shaped as children by our care takers and the beliefs they have. We learn to be civil for a reason.

Dear Diary,   Day 1 - after being in that terrible plane crash I landed on an island or a place, I don't even know if this is an island. All I can remember is seeing the front half of the plane in flames. The next thing I knew I was in water or sand cant even remember.   As I shifted through the mass amount of foliage, I saw a thin figured boy with fair hair. The boy seemed older than me, more fit. From that moment on I felt relieved to see another person.   so, I cleaned my specs on my wind breaker and smiled at the thin boy hoping to befriend him. I told the thin boy of my thoughts of what may have happened. I asked   for his name and he answered, but he was not quiet interested in mine. I had a feeling he wanted to play but, I quickly informed him of my asthma. I felt my stomach as it started to hang, so I went off to get some fruit. Later I returned to ralph and asked if he had called for any others and suggested it would be best if we know of all their names. R

Dear diary, The days are so long here, but at the end of the day when the darkness extinguishes the light. I still wonder where the day has gone. The sun never stops reflecting off of my specs, but that won't be such a problem for me anymore.  I was about my day wondering off in to my own imagination just thinking. I hear a little un crying in the distance, but ignore it because he is always crying. Jack is over by a tree talking to roger, but I pay no mind to him as he does the same to me. I saw ralph sitting under a palm tree and decided to tell him what I was thinking about.   A clock, but ralph wasn’t interested. I was about my business and notice no smoke there was no smoke. Ralph had saw a ship and there was no smoke. Ralph raced up to the mountain and motioned towards for me. I was too slow. The ship was gone and it sure was not my fault. Sam and Eric were supposed to be watching the fire, but arrived with jack and some others chanting kill the pig, spill her blood
