Madness is a feeling that everyone gets. When someone goes crazy for a little, it is influenced buy everyone around them, into doing something unlike them selves. When they loose them self.
"Do I trust Ralph? Do I trust Jack? Do I trust myself?" Roger was deep in thought.
The day was long and I watched myself change. The boar is the worst. I lost my mind to the island for a while as I wanted meat, food and water. But this meat that I was craving was not meat that I would regulary eat. The meat was a boy named Robert. He sniveled , got up and walked away, as everyone had noticed it was a human not a boar. I was unconscience during this time, not knowing what was going on around me. I am influenced by everyone and everything! I thought about infinite things that I could do once I got home, and then I snapped back to reality. Strolling through the jungle with Jack and Ralph, hearing them speak uncompromisingly. they talk with emotion, with attitude, and with passion.
I think about being back at school, Jack helping us with our harmony, sagely teaching us " A sharp, follwing in to the B flat, then hold the note" He had so much power back then, and now he longs for it. He is now thinking in a covert way, wondering how he can push Ralph out. It was a blunder for me to think about home, I grew sad and I relized how much I miss my bed, family, and regular food.
I know that once I begin to follow Ralph insted of Jack, Jack will turn to me and know that i have givin in to the conch, the beast and to myself. He is and will remain the leader in my mind, no one disrespects him, his is smart, kind and always filled with joy...right?? It is completly amazing how infuriating it is not know that anything that I say does not mean anything in the group. Knowing that Jack could help me come in to the leader group, and contribute my ideas. BUT HE CHOOSES NOT TO.
Madness is a feeling of the real world, here it is a way of living, madness is a way of surviving.

Blog 5- Once in a life time
The air was crisp. The sun was shinning bright; rays of sunlight were peeking through the trees. Creating a star like pattern on the ground below. I got a safety class, and as it went on I blocked out the instructor, I looked around at the lines above me and I began to breathe heavily.
We took a short walk where the fun began, and I was the second to go. I watched my dad take of first. He made it look so easy. I slowly walked up, what it seemed like a million stares, and finally reached the top. I was clipped in and all I could hear was my heart beating like a jack-hammer in my ears. I felt a small nudge and I was off.
I looked around and all I could see was the green color of the large plants next to me, they were blending together as I grew faster and faster. I could hear the leaves moving behind me as I rushed by them. I glanced up at the one line holding my life. I tugged on my harness and screamed like there was no tomorrow. My face grew a grin on it, and then the ride had ended. My shaking feet touched the platform and I knew I was safe. But then I suddenly looked down.
My chest was tight and I lost my breath, the sight of the ground 80 feet below me took my breath away. I looked out towards the horizon and I could see lush, green mountains surrounding me. The ocean was not far away, but all I could smell were the trees around me. The rest of my family followed me and then it was my turn again. My heart grew fast as I herd the instructor say 3, I stepped of the platform and the ride had begun again, the air whipping my face, me holding on for dear life. And yet I knew I would be fine.
This repetition continued. Finally I had reached my last leap. My heart was at its normal pace and I was breathing steadily. My dad had gone before me again, and this time the instructor told me to do something crazy! So I did!
I took my leap, and I put all my weight on my back, I suddenly was upside down. I got a head rush and came back up, I was in my mode again, only this time it was a good thing, I had a smile spread across my face. And my heart beat was rapid, and the instructor that caught me on the end of the line could not stop laughing. He was surprised that I did something crazy! It was a once in a life time ride! One thing to always remember.

Blog 4- Losing, Slipping, Falling
Jack, Jack, Jack. That is all I can say. He is taking the power, but I still have the conch! I know how Piggy feels now, no one is listening to me! I am losing all of the athority that I once contained. But this is irrelevent to what is going on right now in the camp, or soon to be camp. we have to finish the huts.
I suddenly herd a shrill, "A SHIP!!! A SHIP, SMOKE!!!"
I glanced up to our signal fire, nothing was there, no smoke was rising! I went in to a panic! I knew that if we were able to get the ships attention then we would be able to get a lift home! I thought for a second, could this just be a mirage? No, even if it is, I will try to get a fire going! I must try! Just for my self confidence.
Everyone was staring at the "ship" and I began to hustle up the side of the scar. Many of the kids on the platform were reacting preposterously, they could not believe it! I met up with Jack and some littleuns'. They had caught a pig! I was joyed and disapointed at the same time. The littleuns' were staring at it like it was a star that had fallen from outer space. Amazed and raged, I yelled out, "stop this maddness!" Jack shot a look strait at me, and kept walking up the mountain to the fire. I thought to my self, the littleuns' let the fire go out, but also Jack killed a pig! They LET THE FIRE GO OUT! YET WE HAVE MEAT!! I could not decide weither I was more angry or upset.I thought some malovelent thoughts twords jack, but I knew that this food would help us keep moving and stay strong.
I spoke with Jack for a second, telling him that a ship was off in the distance. he spkoe to me incredulously. But as we talked about it, we both stared out in to the opalescent dyed sky. I also felt the need to inform him that the signal fire had gone out. he had nothing to say for it! There was no implication from him, even though he knew it went out, he did not bother at all to try to tell me.
We finished out trec up the scar. we needed piggy's glasses to start the fire again. Piggy held them out. Jack took them and started the fire, then with out my knowing I herd a whimper from piggy and I turned around to find him on his knees searching for his glasses. He was gyrating as he looked for his glasses, he finally got them back and he noticecd that they had broken. He was very upset!
I felt like I was losing my power, slipping out of connection with many of the kids on the island, and falling far from being home.

Blog 3- Don't look back...
The festoons were covering me. Hanging from what seemed like miles above, it was dark and cold. I had been pricked many times by barbs, and the pain was finally starting to set in. I was clambering on my hands and knees, digging my hands in to the soft soil. I felt like an animal searching for their pray, and I was. I herd the sharp cries of a pig, loud, as it echoed throughout the jungle.
I was bewildered when I saw my pray. It ran right in my line of fire, but I was to concentrated on preparing my weapon. I was determeanded to flaunt my dinner, but I let it slip away! I did not look back, I just kept walking foward, going to the platform. I trotted back to the lagoon, to find ralph making a hut...I was staring out to the glimmering water. I was not listening to Ralph, I just herd him mumbling.
I made a furtive glance at Simon in the hut, and he look away from me in fear. I looked at the hut, it was inscrutable. There were leaves everywhere, and pieces of wood scatered, leaning aginst each other.
Ralph was being opressive, calling my name, and he finally got my attention. We spoke for a breif second. Following we walked down the beach, I followed the sand, glancing at the tendrils making a wall into the jungle, knowing that there was a pig out there waiting for me to kill. I just hope I get to it first!

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.

Blog 1-Black out, then what??
I looked out the window, and saw that we were over the ocean. I saw a green lush area coming towards us. there were many different kids on the plane. some a little older than me, and some younger, MUCH younger. I heard over the clamor from the engines, "we are dropping altitude, FAST!" I suddenly became very cold and started to quiver, not only from the coldness but from the fear of what was happening. I started to speculate weather I was going live any longer. I stared out the window, once more and everything started to blend together. Black spots came over my eyes, and I was gone.
"HMMM" I smelled bananas, and pineapple, and all different types of sweet fruits. I gazed at all of the other people on the plane and they had pallor looks upon their faces. I quickly started to unbuckle my belt and clamber out of the plane. I looked around and saw a jumbled mess of vines, and wild fruit plants surrounding me. When I looked into the dense jungle, the trees and vinse and floor plants were interposing any type of path, or way to get away from the burning plane.
Out from the jungle I could hear a strident sound, loud and clear. I began to navigate to it's direction. I thought to my self, I could eat a whole stake plus patatos, no...I could devour a horse! I was famished. I was grating through the lush and finally saw a sparkle from the lagoon, I saw many different kids, some that I recognized. I begane to hear a loud group of people coming from behind me.
I saw a bunch of older boys coming outof the jungle. they all walked vainly across the snow white sand. From what I saw they had decorous clothing on. colorful and interesting. I felt strong indignation for them. They had walked right in front of me and did not even spare a passing glance. this was just rude!
My time on this island will soonly be changed.
