chapter 5

Dear diary,
 Darkness was about to surround the island. I stumbled down the mountain with only half my sight. I saw footprints in the sand washed away by the tide.

After today's problems ralph decided to have an assembly. We watched him walk on the beach talking to himself and thinking. When ralph is done he blows the conch to begin the assembly. Ralph begins to rant about the fire going out and about our work on the island. He is just trying to get us back in line.

Some of the boys walk away and ralph and I began to talk. Ralph is thinking of stepping down as chief. If if he does jack will be the leader and and will treat me worse than he does now. The other boys will  follow jack and will be completely unaware of what is going on. I tell ralph to blow the conch, but he is worried the boys will ignore him.
We just went to sleep after that. The little uns were crying out, but I ignored them and drifted off into sleep. Hopefully we will get some order back in the island, but imma worry about that tomorrow.

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.

chapter 1

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, As I lay on the hot sand I look up into the sky and see a black dot and something brown. Turnouts it was just water and sand on my glasses. I watched the little uns play while still laying on the sand and rubbing the sand off on my shorts. I see a blur of two boys I know its ralph and Simon building huts because I was just helping them. I decided to take a break. If all the other boys are why can't I.   I later see jack coming from the woods looking very pale. Ralph is very aggravated with him. I think ralph is taking out all his anger on him because we weren't helping. It is not my fault I get tired. Now he knows what it is like to be left behind with all the work to do. Jack needs to be set straight he thinks he is leader when he is not.     Maybe ralph is just annoyed. Hopefully all the huts will be done by tonight because I do not want to sleep on sand again. I think ralph is in over his head. Ralph needs to set jack straight and put him in his pl
