Blog 2-"but I have the conch!!"

"This is not fair, I have the conch, I have the power right now! Why won't the listen to me?"
The tumult from the croud of kids was over powering for piggy to handle. He felt so defeated. The fire was buring the trees out of control. The heat was incredible, Piggy was giving Ralph a baby face, and slowly glanced over to Jack and gave him a look that would over power any other look you could think of. Jack seemed to be invincible. Jack turned his head to look at Piggy. He turned away in fear.
Piggy srtoked the conch shell, irresistibly, he knew that it had some type of power to it. His mind was becoming warped around the shell. He was frightened at the sight of the fire climbing up the mountain, he nibbled on his finger nails.
" I hate Jack so much, he is so officious, he is always cuting me off, never letting me speak on my own. I HAVE THE CONCH, I HAVE THE POWER!!"
Piggy turned to look at the fire moving nimbly across the trees. The black smoke rose from the chard tropical plants.
"dont treat me so sconrfully, I HAVE THE CONCH!"
there is nothing that can help him now.

Nikki-
Can you describe the little one with the birth mark? Also, can you write from his perspective? Great job though!

The Interview with Simon

Q) What is your opinion about the signal fire?
A) Well, when I first herd the idea from Ralph, I did not know what to think. I had this thought in the back of my head, that something was going to go wrong. And it did after the first try. After we started it up again we had a good fire going. And yet the littleuns’ let it out again, when they went to follow jack. It is getting annoying how jack is always trying to take the leader position from Ralph. But Ralph is sticking it out, and not taking attitude from anyone.

Q) Do you think that you would make a better leader than Ralph?
A) Well I don’t think that I would always have everyone’s best interests. I don’t know if I would even know how to act with everyone yelling at me like they yell at Ralph. When I hold the conch, I feel as if I have all the power and then Ralph steals it back, and I don’t know if I would want to let anyone else have the power if I was the leader. But when jack has the conch he does not give it back, and I think that is how I would react to have all of the power over the hunters and the littleuns’.

Q) Do you believe that you will be rescued?
A) oh, that is a good question, um…you know I am not sure. I mean, this island has to be recorded on some map, somewhere on this earth. But considering that there was a “ship” that went buy, then I am considering that some day a while from now, yes we will be rescued. All we really have to do it just keep that fire going, and make sure that we have plenty of smoke for what ever will be rescuing us to see.

Q) What do you think about the beast? Do you think that there is a chance there is a beast on the island? Also what would you tell the littleuns’?
A) Personally I think that there is definitely a chance of a beast being on the island. We just have to figure out where it lives. And I am thinking that it may very well be in the water, because we have searched all over this island. I think that the littleuns’ have a lot of fear from the thought of the beast. But they really have nothing to be afraid of
.

Q) What is your opinion on the island?
A) Well I like it. It gives me a lot of times to think buy my self. And I don’t have anyone telling me what to do; I just sit around listening to the animals life around me and relax. I really don’t enjoy working a lot, but when someone needs my help. Then I will help them. I just like to be alone, doing my own thing. That’s just me.
