Chapter 2

Lord of the Flies

Ralph's Adventure

Dear Diary,
Today I enjoyed the peace and serenity of this island. Although this island is rich in pigs, fruits and water, I think it would be best if we got rescued as soon as possible. A little boy suggested that theres a beastie in the island, its supposed to look like a snake, but I don't really think there is one on this island. Our plan was to make a signal fire, so the flames and smoke would attract attention, unfortunately although we created the signal fire, it went out of control. I do wish to be rescued because its kind of dangerous to stay in the island, and I would rather be in my own home. We started the fire by first getting kindling and wood, and then got dry grass and leaves. It was started by Piggie's glasses. As I said before, the fire went way out of control, I'm pretty sure it even killed somebody, but I'll tell you that later. Now what happened was a little boy with a red mark on his face may have died from the flames, since we couldn't find him, we can only expect the worse. I'm different from the other boys because I don't do things with the senseless ebullience of the other children. I also have more leadership character traits, so thats why I'm the leader. Right now I'm going to bed with a martyred feeling, because I really don't know what happened to Johnny. I'm also a little troubled about the errant little boys, and I'm worried about what will become of us. I was shocked to see the capering of the boys as the fire sped out of control. I'm also scared that if Johnny dies its because of the island's recrimination upon us. Now although the future may look bleak, I'm prepared to face whatever comes next.
