I am having a bloody hard time seeing lately. Ever since the big ol' fight, and my specs were taken from me. Now since then, Ralph has been treating my like I am batty! Going crazy, acting like I am STUPID!
"So, do you need help walking...or to see??" he would say under his breathe. He would just snigger to him self, pleasing himself with his humor. I did not find it funny.
I thought about how Jack and Ralph acted, and I saw Jack coming through Ralph very slowly. My eyes were so messed up. I could not make out the waves, all I could see from them was their phospherescent color, gleaming from them.
I did see my hands clearly though, they were smothered with the stain of blood. It had not washed off all the way yet. I just sat, thinking about Ralph and my conversation the other day. The talk about the murder. Yes I dare to say murder. That is because it was murder, but I dare not to tell Ralph that he was right. I tried as hard as I could to keep his mind of that topic. I tried to comfort him. i did want him thinking it was just the weather, just because it was dark, rainy, and the thunder and lightening. THIS DID NOT HELP EAITHER. But he just kept going back to it,thinking and talking about it.
Then when sam'n'eric came along, I could do nothing. We all spoke aobut the dance, acting like we all wern't there. saying that we were tired so we left early. that it was cold. But we all new each other were lying. We could not have know that there was the dance if we were not there. So we new that Sam'n'eric were there too.
I thought about the dance, and the murder. I remembered the shutter of sound from the thunder, and all the littluns' becoming scared. I noticed that ralph was gisticulating. I had never seen him talk with that much rage, and anger. I mean I had seen him be mad before, but not like that! I knew that was a sign, dont get involved when Ralph is talking with his hands.
But one of the littleuns' stifled the conversation, when he said he saw "the beast".
when really it was simon. I knew I could do nothing, but I wanted to help! I had this chill run down my spine. I knew that it was not the beast. but I tosed that thought out of my head. I would not tell any one that I knew it was not the beast. Not even now!
I want to keep it to my self, I dont want to be accused for anything!
There is nothing to see here. Nothing to hear from me...

blog 13- revision of blog 11- last thoughts
"look there is smoke!" The Navel officer said. The ship grew closer and closer. The men on deck began to see the land form.
They heaved a dingy over board, and into the water so they could go see why there was a fire on the island. The Navel officer thought to him self, and visulized what he would see...
"what will i see? a bunch of crazy grown men and women? nothing? I hope that there is something to find on this island, something to bring back to the boys. Ahh, only another yard till i find out what my treasure will be. Maybe it will be my son! we will find out soon."
The Navel officer arrived on the soft, white, phosphorescent sand. He herd a strange uluation...then suddenly out of no where a young boy comes sprinting out of the jungle. The navel officer asked him, "What is your name, boy?"
The young boy, cowered then answered, "my name is Ralph"
The navel officer had a son named Ralph, but he new the chance of this being his boy was out of the question. and even so, this boy did not look like his Ralph, his Ralph did not have long hair, it was short and a darker brown color. This boy had lighter blonder color hair, and shaggy, covering his eyes.
"who is the leader here?" the officer asked
"I am..." Ralph replied
The navel officer stopped talking for a second and just thought to him self...
" MY Ralph would never be any type of leader. He would put on a better show than this, he would know better! And my ralph would elaborate on his answer to his father, not just give a two word answer. I knew now that I would never find my boy." The Navel officer looked out to the ship, and smiled back at the boys...
Ralph look closely at the navel officer...and noticed that it was his father...but his father did not noticed him. Why he wondered? WHY? Ralph remembered what he had looked like, and remembered that he have long hair and that he had many cuts and wounds, bloody, and had an enormous amount of dirt on him.
ralph spoke in a small voice..."Dad?"
The navel officer looked closely to this young boy, pulled back his hair, and noticed that it was his young boy, it was RALPH!
Ralph noticed a single tear emerged from his fathers eyes. He knew that they were saved. He looked back at Jack, and mouthed..."I TOLD YOU SO"

blog 12- Reporting as Ms. Nicole
To become a court reporter, you must endure many years of schooling and training. You must be trained on how a serious court trial works, and all the tools that you must be able to use. You must learn to control your emotions and how to speak and listen at the same time. Many abilities are required for this job, so lets learn what we need to know.
Common work activities include:
-attending court proceedings, inquiries and depositions as required either through the court or by private hire through an attorney.
-recording the exact conversation and information provided at the proceeding with 100% accuracy.
-Printing out the official court record
-making copies of court records and providing them to the judges, attorneys, and other individuals as requested and required.
Training to become a stenotypist takes 33 months, on average. A stenograph is a machine where 22 keys are made to form words. This is used to print out information in a condensed form. Then using a computer, the document can be converted to a standard text document. But with a different tool it take a lot less time to learn how to use. It usually takes less than a year to become a voice writer. Training is offered by about 160 vocational and technical schools and colleges. The National Court Reporters Association (NCRA) has approved about 70 of these. NCRA-approved programs require students to capture at least 225 words per minute.
Some States require court reporters to be certified. To be certified, court reporters must pass an exam. The NCRA confers several certifications, from entry-level to advanced, and for particular reporting systems. Advanced certifications may require work experience, some additional training, or a college degree. Court reporters must have excellent listening skills. Also speed and accuracy are important. Good writing skills are also needed. Voice writers must learn to listen and speak at the same time. Court reporters working in courtrooms need knowledge of legal procedure. In all court situations. Stenocaptioners should also be good with computers, and typing.
Court reporters will usually need two or four year degree, or the correct certification. This certification will allow you to have the responsibility of keeping all the information accurate and secure. Because of the massive importance of the work court reporters need to have a very high attention to detail and accuracy. Including requirements of the job are, listening skills, and a solid grasp of the English language, grammar, vocabulary, and punctuation. This also must include legal terminology, and the knowing of the procedure of a criminal trial court case.
A official court reporter must have an excellent ability to attend to information even in distracting situations. They must be able to distance their emotions from their work to truly reflect the information given. They must not be personally involved in the case. Often the reporter must work in situations that are very uncomfortable, and emotional and even listen to very disturbing testimonies. And so it is very critical that the reporter is able to stay focused, in side and out side of the court room!
