Blog 14 review blog 9: the lost glasses

After that long night last night, I got up and started to look for my glasses. " Ralph Have you seen my glasses?" I asked with a worry tone in my voice.


" No I haven't but the last time I saw them they was by the conch remember." He replied


I started to walk by the conch and was reaching for my face to clean my glasses and forgot that I don't have them. I looked every where and still didn't find them. As I was looking for them I went and ask Sam and Eric if they had seen my glasses and they haven't seen them either then Sam said

"What if the thief stolen them when we was in that big fight last night."


I was just wondering if it was really true what Sam said. Walking around without my glasses is a really bad thing, I wish I was at home with my auntie because I really do miss her a lot. My asthma is really getting bad and I don't have any medicine with me to control my asthma. But as the cold air blow it cause me to shudder like a scared dog.


I think it was funny when Sam and Eric and Ralph and I was talking about what had happen at the dance and everyone was gesticulate with their hands or motives that they wasn't at the dance but knew what was going on with the beast all I can think about was " Are they lying or what because I knew Ralph and I was lying but we didn't want to let anybody know we was. we stop talking for a good ten minutes and went on with our job. Being on this island is a life lesson and it's not to take nothing for what it cost. the phosphorescence of the moon was crazy and clearly on the water made me remembered that it wasn't to long ago thatwe was all friend now we are enemies.

The stifle of Simon's death was scary but it was all because of the storm and that parachute that flew by. I'm scared of everything since I don't have no glasses to see where I'm going and I have to have someone guide me everywhere like a seeing eye dog. I feel like I was smother when we had that fight in the huts when Maurice and Roger stolen the glasses.

I just hope that Jack will give them back.

blog 13 review blog 10: what is happening?

We are kinda scared as you might think we saw two of our friends die and we was the cause of one of them. Our leader Ralph isn't really doing anything because the conch is broken and the only person that is doing something is Jack. We don't really want to be in Jack's tribe but if we didn't we would have got killed maybe like Simon did. Seeing Piggy dead was scary but if it wasn't for Roger pulling the lever then Piggy might have still been here and everything might have been different.

Once the hunter kidnapped us we didn't know what to do but to try to get ourself set free but we couldn't because Roger tied us up. We wished Ralph would have tried to save us but if he did then piggy would have died anyways so it really wouldn't matter what would have happen.We feel kinda reponseable for Piggy and Simon death . Like if we didn't jump on top of Simon because we thought he was the beast then he would still be here.

we don't think that we should have went up to castle rock because we already know how Jack is because we went hunting with him once and he was crazy. we was trying to tell Ralph that Jack was going to do something to them but he just didn't listen .

So are question is What is happening with the boys on the island are they going crazy or what?

blog 12: Trial of jack on the defense

Evidence
-The lever used to push the stone down the hill to kill Piggy. The most recent fingerprints are from Roger, since the lever was not touched again after Piggy deaths this proves, the Roger sent the boulder down the hill.
Witness's testimony
Jack was the leader of the boys and he states that he never planned to kil Piggy, or Simon. For Simon they thought he was the beast, and for Piggy Roger pulled the never which killed him. Jack put the rock there for prottection against rhe beast, not Piggy. Neither of these were pre planned murders and Jack states he is not ot blame for either.
Naval officer , he talks with Jack on the boat and meets with some of the boys. He thinks that Jack doent not seem keen on killing or violence and is as sheken up about the events on the island as any of the other boys.
Roger , was Jack's most willing follower in his tribe and admits freely that he killed Piggy, and Jack had not talked about planning ot kill Simon or Piggy with him or any of the boys.
Jack's Relatives , they testify that Jack was always a good boy, though he did have a bit of a temper. He had good grades, and always had alot of friends. He didnt seem to prone to fight in school or anywhere else.
Percival , he was a littun who joined Jacks tribe freely of his own accord. He testifys that Jack never told them to kill Simon and the night Simon died that had genuinely thought he was the beast. He they attacked a dark shape which ran out of the forest screaming, out of self defense.
Maurice , one of the bigger boys on the island he was with Jack the night when they stole the glasses. He testifys that jack was nowhere near Roger when he pulled the lever, and he hadnt seen him talking much to Roger before Piggy's death. When they killed Simon he hadnt planned to kill any of of the boys from Ralph's group.

Opening statements-
The night of Simon's death the boys were having party to celebrate Jack's new tribe and their sucessful hunt. They werei n the middle of a cerimonial dance, and chant when a dark shape stumbled out of the forest, screaming. The boys had recently gone to the top of the mountain and and thought they saw the beast. So when a dark shape came out of the forest, they thought it was the beast. They became scared and in self defense attacked the shape. It ran and started screaming but the gathering had turned to chaos so they couldnt hear what it was saying. They chased it to the shore of the beach, and used spears to kill it.
Jack only was only with his tribe for couple of days and he didnt mention to any of his group to kill anyone from Ralphs tribe. He wouldnt have been able to plan a murder in such a short time. There was no reason for him to want to kill Simon, he seldom spoke and never really defied jack, he wasnt a threat like Ralph.
He didnt mention harming anyone, his tribe just gotten a pig and they were celebrating. It was an innocent party, it was night and they could not see when Simon ran out of the forest. They killed him because they thought he was the beast, they were confused, it could not have been a pre-planned murder.
When Piggy was killed he had been giving speech to Jack's tribe trying to convince them to give back his glasses. Roger pulled a lever which sent the rock down the hill to hit Piggy, all through his speech he had been throwing stones at Piggy. Ralph and Jack were fighting for most of Piggy's speech and jack couldnt have given Roger a signal to pull the lever while fighting. Roger aimed to hit Piggy, even though jack had told them to use the rock to fight the beast. Roger knew that Piggy was not the beast, he saw him and was listening to his speech before he pulled the lever. The fingerprints on the lever the Roger was the most recent person to touch the stick, and it had not been used since Piggy's death. That shows that there is no doubt the Roger pulled the lever to kill Piggy.
Closing statements
The witnesses have given testimony, and none of them have any evidence that Jack was plotting a murder. He was not responsible for Piggy or Simon's death. Roger admits freely that he pulled the lever on his own. Percival, a member of Jack's tribe states that he never saw or heard Jack talk about murdering Simon or Piggy.
When Roger killed Piggy, Jack was fighting Ralph. No one had seen him talking with Roger much, and while he was fighting a lot of boys were watching and none of the boys saw him give a signal to Roger.
When the boy's killed Simon, it was dark and a storm was begining. There was lighting flashing and a dark shape ran out of the forest yelling somehting none of the boys could hear. The boys truly belived that there was a beast inhabiting the island, so they obviously were concerned with their safety. This was clearly self defense.
Winesses say that Jack never instructed them, when the beats ran out of the forest they were scared so they protected themselves. Percival states that when he saw the "thing", he truly thought it was the beast. He didn't discover it was Simon until it was too late. All of the witnesses state that Jack did not call out to the boys to kill Simon, so I dont reall see much proof that jack convicted any crime.
There is a large amount of evidence which shows that Jack is innocent, witnesses state that he never mentioned to them about killing Simon or Piggy, there is the lever which shows that Roger killed Piggy, and the fact the no one else in his tribe who helped to kill Simon knew of any plan to kill him. there is not much evidence showing that Jack commited these crimes, he stole glasses but that was for fire, he didnt kill anyone for them...
We are sure that the jury will render a non-guitly verdict, and acquit our client of all charges.

Blog 11:Crazy little Boys

Looking at all of these boys coming out of the forest just made me think about when I was little and I like to play with my friends in the mud and just go crazy and play. Once I saw the little boy that came out of the forest I didn't know what hey was or where they was from but I do know that all I could hear wass little boys ululation as is they we all indians about to catch their pray.I walked over by the boys and asked them "where are you guys from?" I asked. one of the older reply " we're from britian why you ask?" "Just wondereong?" I visualize boys from Great Britian to by a little bit more cleaner and nicer to eachother.

I saw a boy who was came up to me then cower and ran back to where he was at before. All I can think about is how did they get here? why didn't they had a signal fire early when they got here to be rescued? I looked at a boywith a black cap with red hair who was super red in the face as if he met the girl of his dream and was to shy to say hi to her had a pair of spec on his waist and I asked him who's Spec are those?" all he could do his look down and murmur something that was clear. It's going to be hard to heave all these boy back to my crusier and now I have to elaborate this story to my boss and why I havedirty little boys on my crusier. All I can say is these are some crazy little boys.
