My name is Eric, and I am stranded on a deserted island. Some other boys, including my twin brother Sam, and I were being evacuated from England when our airplane crashed. We swam to this island and are trying to survive. There are no adults.

We have just finished our first assembly.  Sam and I were walking along the beach when we heard a loud sound like a trumpet.  We ran toward the sound and found other boys also searching for its source.  We eventually came upon a fat boy who we later learned was Piggy.  When the boy who was blowing the shell, which he called a conch, finally stopped, he came over to us.  Then a line of boys, led by one with red hair who said his name was Jack, came and joined us.  We decided to elect a chief, and we chose Ralph.  He put Jack in charge of the hunters, which are mainly the choir boys.   Ralph, Jack, and a boy named Simon went off to explore the island.  We found some fruit trees and ate from them.
