'Cause I don't need my specs ...
Chapter: Castle Rock
Lord of the Flies
Perspective - Piggy
So first the little boy with the birthmark on his face all because of the fire, then Simon.. which was partially my fault. And not me?!? What is going on these days. All the boys have gone ballistic. Well, now I’m with Simon and the little boy. Simon told me his story of the “Lord of the Flies” and now I feel bad for doing what we did. It seems almost as if we played a dirty diddle on him. I mean… we were surrounding him like a cordon ululation. Now that I see him again, his face is all distended because of us. But anyways… my head hurts a lot and I don’t know why. Simon and the little one claims that my head is broken in half, but I’m trying so hard not to believe them. Man… I can’t imagine why Ralph and Jack would do this to me. I thought they weren’t getting along. The only reason everyone has gone ballistic and trying to kill everyone is because this is how we survive. We want to be rescued. We want to have a nice warm home to go to every night instead of some small shelter in the middle of an island. And we all want real food. Huhh, back to the night when it all started. Because of Jack takin my specs all the time, now they are broken. Every time I walk around, I have to hold onto Sam. It stinks. Everyone gets mad at me when I tell them that I can’t help. I mean, what am I supposed to do without my specs. Now that Jack has them, Ralph thought it would be a good idea to go over to Castle Rock to get them back. We went and Sam was telling me about some lever that when you pulled it, boulders would stumble down to keep people out of Castle Rock. Clever idea but somehow I knew someone was gonna get hurt. So Jack told some of his littluns to tie up SamnEric. Once that happened I knew that everything was gonna go down hill. Like literally. Next thing you know, all the boulders come stumbling down the mountain. I couldn’t hardily see but I knew it was coming for me. That’s when I just knew to give up. Next thing you know, I ended up in this place with Simon and the littlun. I feel like I can walk around with pride up here. Like having epaulettes on my shoulders all because I survived the terror and the mishchive on the island. It seems to be better up here. ‘Cause I don’t need my specs.

Now that i'm gone...
Perspective - Simon
Chapter 10 - The Shells and the Glasses
Now that I am gone, I am sure that everyone misses me. Well, I hope. So I dropped in today to visit the boys back at the island. Even though they have no idea I am here. Home is far from where I am now. I hope mom and dad find out in a nice calming way. I hope they know that I have missed them too. But anyways, back at the island, so much is going on. Ralph was trying to illuminate piggy that he thought they killed me... which they did.. HELLO. But anyways, Piggy is definitely trying to regret it even though it's all true. He is also trying to blame it on me. Saying that I should have never crawld into the circle like that. And you know what, I was bitten and bleeding, and I was terrified. What was i supposed to do. And then they start beating on me and pocking me because they didn't know it was me. Oh lordy.. the boys are going barmy. But now that I am away from them and in a better place, I feel purged. Man, I can’t believe I died like this. Well at least I know that the pig head was telling reality. There is a beast inside of all of us. Why do you think I died the way I did. I’m probably a piece of theological information. But anyways, I hope Jack is happy. He is the one who called me crazy. I know all the boys may have thought that but check again.. JACK…. YOU WERE CRAZY TOO!! Now, Jack is being treated like a king when he doesn’t deserve it. Sending littluns out to go get food for them. Huhhh. I wonder how Ralph, Piggy, and Jack are going to start a fire to make pig if his specs aren’t even working enough for him to see through them ?!? But anyways, I hope that the boys remember me as someone who actually wanted to face their fear and find the beast with pride. Well it’s all over now. Now that I’m gone…

LOTF - CHAPTER 9
Chapter 9 - A View to a Death
Lord of the Flies
Perspective - Jack
I can’t believe that all this nonsense is going on between Ralph and I. If only we could agree with at least one thing, then that would be fine. But that is never going to happen because we think differently. But anyways, I heard from some littluns and bigguns that they over heard Piggy and his corpulent self that after I left, Simon had tried to tell the boys that there was no beast and that he would prove it to them. But Simon was wrong. So from what I have heard, Simon went into the forest by himself. Personally… I think that was a stupid idea. So apparently, Simon had spoken to the “Lord of the Flies” or his evil side which sent him running off through the forest. Again, stupid idea. So Simon awoke and he found himself laying on the ground. He sorta looked around to see where he was. With dried blood on his face from all the flies biting him. From a distance, he could spot a dead body. He walked closer, being brave and all to see what it was. There was so much light leading to the body it was like a phosphorescence in a hallway. He looked at it and it was a dead parachutes that all the boys thought was the beast. But anyways, enough about Simon… and more about me :] I feel so much like king on this side of the island. It’s like I am some kind of a god over here. I finally get a say in what I think should happen in this whole crisis. So Ralph and Piggy came over to MY SIDE of the island. When they came over, my little tribe and I were having a feast. And I though that I should be nice and let them have some meat. So I told my boys to give them some meat to eat. So I found out more about Simon from them. My tribe and I went back to our old part of the island and some pig like thing came crawling out of the forest. It is so hard to explain what it looked like. So my tribe and I decided that we were safe on our side of the island. So we went back. On our way back, we heard drums, chants like “kill the beast. Cut his throat, spill his blood” over and over again. I looked back and they had the beast like thing in the middle of the circle and they were beating it. I don’t know what happened. But I do know that Simon was a good kid. Although I made fun of him often because he was different… he was an okay guy. Im sure we will all miss him.
RIP: Simon. He was quiet and kept things to himself. I’m sure we will miss him deeply ♥
