Chapter 2

Today I called for a meeting with the conch shell. When everyone gathered we discussed how there were no adults on the island. We also determined that the conch shell will be used to show who is speaking. We also decided we will need hunters to kill animals for meat so we can survive. There was this little boy with some stupid mark on his face, he said he saw a "beastie" or snake or something like that and he scared some of the boys. We reassured the boys that there was no snake or beast or whatever it may have been.

Piggy made a point that we may be here for a while. Many of us were scared when he said that.
We don't need this confusion. Especially when that dumb kid said there is a monster. We also needed to discuss about trying to be rescued. We came up with a great idea.

I declared we make a signal fire on top of the mountain to try and get the attention of any passing by ships or planes so we can be rescued. But while trying to make the fire stay lit multiple trees became enraged with flames. Piggy tells us that the small boy with the mark on his face is now missing. We are all scared and upset about this. We are just going to pretend like nothing happened.

Conch Shell

          In the book Lord of the Flies the conch shell represents civilization. The conch is used in various way. The conch is very important to the boys. It is used to call the boys in for a meeting. During a meeting whoever is holding the conch may speak. If the boys never found the conch there would be no order within them to be able to speak or understand each other's opinions.

Chapter 1

Dear Diary,

          Hello, my name is 🌠Ralph🌠. I come from England and went to an all boy school. Back home the war is taking place. The boarding school I went to ordered an evacuation due to the situation. While on the plane we were scared but also excited for the trip.
         
          While on the plane we heard a loud blast. We started to feel like we were falling. All of a sudden we could smell smoke and could see flames from the from the front of the plane. We noticed that the plane was split into two pieces. Our side crash landed onto a big piece of land. The other side landed in the water, we think the pilot is dead.

          Now that we are on this island we are scared and not sure what to do. I met this boy and he seemed to be smart but also strange. I started talking to him and he said that his name was piggy. I thought that was hilarious so I told all the other boys. He seemed to be very upset about it but we all laughed so we do not care that much. We also found a cool looking conch shell. When I blow into it, it makes a cool sound. But anyway I need to take some time to figure out what us boys are going to do to survive.

D-Day Journal

William Golding was affected by D-Day and it changed his life. When he saw all those men who were being killed he wondered how people could just kill. When he was fighting he underwent heavy gun fire and miraculously survived. The reason Golding questioned the goodness of mankind was very clear. When he saw all those men being killed one after another he thought if people were born with that or learn it.

My opinion if people are born with or learn evilness is unclear. If I do have to say my opinion I would have to say people learn it. Reason being is because when people are born they do not know anything and they must learn to read, write, and speak. If people were born with evilness and learn to be civilized the world would be different. Also I don't think new born babies are going to go commit horrendous crimes, not that they can of course.
