Fire on the mountain

Chapter 2: Fire on the mountain

Perspective- Ralph

Dear Journal, We called in a meeting today and decided who ever has the conch get to speak but Jack was being very errant he kept interrupting Piggy, and I can tell he was getting very annoyed. A little boy asked for the conch and once he got it everybody started laughing after the y settled down the boy said what about the beastie or the snake thing her said he saw it when he was in the dark every started murmuring and getting scared. “There is no beastie” I said “or snake thing it must have been your imagination”. I took the conch back form the little boy and started thinking about how are we going to get off this island I had an idea I shared it with the group of boys “What if we do a smoke signal but first we need to make fire”. As soon as I said fire the capering boys took off running. Piggy tried to act nurture and call them immature kids. We walked up the mountain and tried to figure out how are we going to make fire “Piggy’s glasses” said Jack. I pinch Piggy’s glasses and used the hot sun to make fire “We need more wood” I said. After we got more wood the fire stared to build up a little Piggy ask “Has any one seen that little boy who thought there was a beastie”? “I though you were suppose to watch him” I said I heard an explosion that must have came from the fire. We were all martyred and sad because of the little boy’s death we all blame piggy for it. He say’s he couldn’t keep an eye on all of them but I think he just too lazy.
