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.

Post 9


This morning, we got up and decided to confront Jack, an idea I did not wholeheartedly approve of.  We left later that morning armed with spears.  We could see their smoke as we approached the camp.  Roger, perched on a high rock, announced our arrival.  As the unrecognizable, painted savages arrive, Ralph began to blow the conch; he declared he was calling an assembly.  Jack appeared from behind us, and he and Ralph began to talk and argue.  Then, they starting fighting; they threw spears and attempted to stab each other.  Jack told his savages to grab Sam and me, and they proceeded to tie us up.  Then, that evil Roger pushed a giant rock toward us, knocking Piggy off the cliff and crushing the shell.  Shocked, Ralph turned and ran, an action Jack took as a sign of victory.  He then turned to Sam and me.  He began poking us in the ribs and commanding us to join his tribe.  We reluctantly agreed.
