Lord of The Flies
Chapter 1: Sound of the Shell
Perspective: Ralph
Interesting People, Interesting Island
Well there I was stuck on that god-forsaken island. I can’t remember how I got there but I do remember meeting Piggy. Man, was he weird! I’ve seen dessert lovers in better shape than him! I don’t care if he don’t like that name Piggy. He didn’t even tell me his real name. At least he taught me how to sound the shell. Man, was that cool.
Jack seems pretty cool. I wonder why he didn’t kill that pig…all he said was “I was going to kill it but I needed to be in the right place” or something like that. I would have so killed it! I am starving. He seemed kind of mad when almost everyone voted for me. I guess I seemed friendlier in way I don’t know and don’t care. I guess he is used to being the leader considering he leads the choir. I hope the fact that I’m the leader doesn’t get to his head and then goes like mad for power. I really hope it doesn’t happen.
Simon is this quite little kid. He’s so small and quite, that if he had long hair, I would mistake him for a girl. He’s seems all right. It didn’t look like he was to happy about the pig killing though. I guess he’s a bit shaky when animals die. He couldn’t be a vegetarian though. He wouldn’t live. He could eat fruit but it goes bad and you got to wait a while till’ it grows back.
Me being the leader was interesting. I never really get to lead anything so I’m surprised that people voted for me. Probably ‘cause I blew the shell or something. Or maybe ‘cause I’m attractive and smart and who doesn’t want that for a leader?! Huh?! I’m sure my dad is going to come though. I can feel it.
I hope I can led these boys-er…men to a good life and I hope we all life in this island. Island, we’re here. Watch out.
