chapter 6

Dear diary,
The night was opaque, but the stars still glistened over the lagoon. I still managed to see Ralph and Simon pick up Percival.  I walked back to my hut and kicked the sand off my feet. And my eyes were shut for the rest of the night.

I hear leaves rustling and feet little feet slapping against the sand. I hear ralphs name being called. It was the twins Sam and Eric they were ranting on about a beastie. I was to stay quiet they said and the beastie was still lurking out. I listened to the twins little feet go from shelter to shelter spreading the news. We were to have an assembly ralph had said. Instead of blowing the conch ralph held it in the air and we knew what he meant.

The sun rays fanned upwards from the horizon as we all stood in a circle clenching our spears near.
The twins took the conch and began to speak of the beastie. The fire was bright they said and they beastie had eyes, claws, and teeth. The twins had bashed into things while running from the beastie and the marks on their face showed it. The other boys argued about hunting the beastie, but I why couldn’t they just stay here where it is safe. Maybe the beast won't come down here. Ralph hollered at me asking what of the fire and other thing. The hunters and ralph decide to go look for the beast, and leave me here. The boys ate before they left and went on.


I can't believe ralph made me stay here with the little uns without protection. I can barely see and and they don’t even listen to me. Why did I even say I wanted to stay here I should've suggested we all go. Now I have to listen to the little uns cries. I don’t even know if they are coming back because they have been gone all day.

Maybe they will come back with the beastie dead. Who knows what those boys will do at this point. Why do I even bother talking they don’t listen to me anyways.

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
