Dear diary,
Nothing I do seems to be working, Jack and
his hunters have stolen Piggy's glasses and now we can't make fire. Piggy
suggests that I hold a meeting to discuss what we're going to do, when I blow
the conch all the boys that haven't joined Jack have assembled. We decide to go
to Castle Rock and try to make Jack and his boys see reason and civility, so I
take the conch to Castle Rock. When I
get there, I encounter the armed guards and blow the conch, but the guards tell
me to leave and they start to throw stones at us.
Jack and his hunters emerge from the forest,
bringing along a dead pig. I feel this rush of anger and I can't help myself so
I start to face off Jack. He commands us to leave his camp so I demand that he
return Piggy's glasses, but he attacks me and we fight. I trying my hardest to
make Jack understand how important it is to keep the signal fire so we can be
rescued, but instead he orders that Samneric be tied up. Another even bigger
spark of anger flashes within me and I lunge at Jack once more.
We fight for the second time. Piggy tries to shout
over Jack and I fighting, trying to remind us of the importance of the rules
that we had established when we first got here. In the mix of all of this,
Roger shoves a massive rock down the mountainside at us. I hear the rock
falling and luckily get out of the way in perfect time. Sadly, the massive rock
strikes Piggy, shatters the conch, and knocks his off the mountainside where he
falls to his death on the rock down below. Jack throws his spear at me and
everyone else starts to do the same. I quickly escape to the jungle leaving
Samneric to Jack. Piggy, I’m so sorry. You deserved better and I never even go
the chance to find out what your real name is.
Signed,
Ralph
