Painted Face, and Long hair.
'I just want respect!'
Perspective: Jack
Lord Of the Flies
1.
What things are you having trouble adjusting to on the island that are different from your life at home in England?
I really miss waking up in the morning, and having breakfast ready without having to actually work for my bacon. I'm just so used to not having to work for my good. And now that I'm leader of the Hunters, I must do most of the work just to feed all those lousy fools.
2.
How do you feel about the littluns?
The littluns are a big hassle. But it's not really their fault. They're young, and immature. They're just so used to having their parents take care of them and everything. But that will change soon. Once the challenges get more drastic.
3.
What do they do with their time?
Mostly the littluns don't do anything that helps the rest of the boys. They just get themselves in trouble, and make stupid mistakes by 'accidentally' hurting eachother.
4.
Why do you all paint your faces?
I decided to first paint my face to camouflage with my surroundings, that way the pigs wouldn't be able to see me as easy, so that I could kill it faster without it running away.
5.
What does this foreshadow?
This means that later in the book, I'll be able to catch more pigs and other animals for the boys. And save the day! And maybe I'll get more respect this time!
6.
How do you feel when your face is painted?
I feel like a strong man. A powerful man. A man in control. And the hero. I've never felt like that before.
7.
Why doesn’t the passing ship see you on the island?
The passing ship doesn't see us on the island, because thanks to me. The fire wasn't seen by it. So they had no idea there were any people on this island. Unfortunately, that might be our only chance to be saved.
8.
Why was the fire allowed to go out?
Well, I led the hunters to go hunt for more food. And since all the hunters were out, the fire was left un-watched. And it got out of control from there.
IF YOU ARE JACK:
1.
Why do you lead the hunters in chanting, “Kill the pig. Cut her throat.”
I started this chant, because when we are hunting for the pig, the best and easiest way to kill her, was to cut her throat. And we created a circle around her to trap her.
2.
Where does this desire to kill come from?
The desire to kill, that I hold comes from that fact that I want respect. Maybe once I'm the one who actually puts the food on the plate, maybe people will respect me more.

Lord of the Flies
Chapter 3 - Huts on the Beach
"Was that me who fainted???"
1.I think its very important to have shelter, because without it we wont be safe. There are many dangers out there on the island. Like odd animals, that only come out at night. Or the beastie! Or the terrible weather. Rain, wind, thunder. We wouldn't have anything to protect us.
2.There are few jobs spread out with the rest of the boys. Like Ralph is the leader. Jack is the leader of the hunters. And I am a part of the hunters. And Piggy has to do the roster. Without some of this, we couldn't survive. So its very important.
3.The smaller boys are very immature, as Piggy would say it. They don't contrite with anything. Even when there late. Its like a compulsion for them to act up. They just wont stop. They act as if there were still adults now. But we all have to take care of ourselves.
4.I think some of the most important tasks for survival, would be to stay calm. Most people go crazy on Islands, thats why you must stay calm. Or else you'll go insane! Shelter, food, and water are also very much needed. That might be hard in the future just eating these fruits. And drinking from the dirty lagoon. Hopefully none of us get sick.
5.Well, I am a very short boy. I am also thin, with very dark hair. I think I'm very handy and helpful. But I faint a bit too much. I guess thats just normal for me. Its very vicissitudes for me to not faint. But Im not like Piggy, who's usually instructable.
6.The future is very opaque. I can't imagine what will happen. I just want to go home. If we stay here for a long time. We'll all go mad.

Chapter 2: Fire on the Mountain; Blog post-
Garrett Fischbeck
'Oh no! Its all my fault!'
Lord of the Flies
Perspective of Piggy!
This Island is wonderful! Its a good break from real life. Besides the fact that there is limited food and water. I just sort of want to go back to my auntie.
From what I've heard, the beastie is a very scary animal on this island. The little boy with the mark on his face brought it up. I heard the beastie was a snake-like large creature on this Island. Im sure it was really big. But we don't even know if that kid was even telling the truth. I mean, you know those little kids? So Immature. Even on this island, where our lives are in danger. Stupid 'beastie.' I hope I never run into it! It makes me feel very scared, and uncomfortable. Everywhere I go I'll be watching out for it!
I think our best plan, is building a larger fire. But this time we'd have to be much safer about it. Then any planes or other aircrafts that spot it, will know people are on this island. And come and rescue us! That would be the happiest day of my life!
I really want to be rescued though. This island is really gross! And Im pretty sure one of these days Im probably going to break my glasses. My Auntie would not be happy with me after that! Ugh this island is so stressful.
But I think I've helped out a lot. I mean, we started a fire because of my glasses! What would have happened without me? Imagine how hard it would be to make a fire. I really don't believe they even would be able to. But its too bad that the fire spread all over the hill! I hope that little boy is alright. Its sort of my fault! Oh no! I wonder if he got caught in the fire. Or even got eaten by the beastie! Its all my fault! Oh no! I'll be called names for the rest of my life now. Will I go to jail? I mean its pretty much murder! And It was my job to keep track of those little idiots! And since I'm different then everyone else, most of the boys are thin, with pretty much no meat on those bones! I'm pretty fat. But I hate it when people state that fact. I mean, Don't they know I probably know that already! Jeez'! Every night, I want to go home. I worry about everything. The beastie, getting food, being made fun of. Its all just a mess. I mean, why wouldn't I be scared on this Island? I don't even know If we'll get rescued. I mean we could all die tomorrow. The only people who really might be my friends are Ralph and Simon. And I can't even promise they are my friends!
