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.
