Dear Diary,
Today started off
good because I came up with a really good rule where anyone who wants to talk
has to be holding the conch shell at the meetings. Eh, am I good or am I good? Piggy,
annoying as he is, gets mad because we haven't tried to find a way of this
island which makes all the boys scared and worried. That boy has such a big
mouth that it's CRAZY! One of the younger boys, with a mulberry-colored mark on
his face, started to talk about a snakelike thing he called "beastie"
that he saw the night before. Which causes even more fear with everyone, so the
older boys had to try and calm them down and make them believe that there is no
monster on the island. They tell the younger boys that the mulberry-colored
marked boy was just having a nightmare.
Another one of my
great ideas were for some of the boys to go to the top of the mountain and
start a signal fire for passing ships and planes. We left Piggy behind because
he was being annoying and not liking my decision as chief, but he didn’t want
to be left behind so he came with us. At first it was hard to build the fire
because rubbing the 2 sticks together wasn't really helping, but we took
Piggy's glasses and used them to magnify the sun and start the fire. He was
pretty upset, but at least we got our signal fire going. The fire burned out
easily and Piggy started to get mad because we weren't listening to what he was
saying, we probably just used the wrong wood.
We tried to start
a signal fire one more time but since there were younger kids running around
acting crazy, so I put Piggy in charge of taking names and keeping track of
them. When we started the fire, the fire got way out of hand and it nearly
burned the entire island! When we called a meeting to make sure that everyone
was ok, one of the younger boys was missing. I was really mad at Piggy because
he only had one simple job and he failed, miserably. I just hope that he's not
dead. Ralph
