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, 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
