Blog 14-blog 8 revision
I had to see the mountain I had to see for my self if the beast was real or if was just a figment of my imigination. As soon as I had gotten there I realized the corruption that there was on this island I knew more incostnnt people where going to die becasue of Jack's ruthlessness. He was on the edge of the deep end where the bottom was a pool of blood. Only not his blood, every one's blood the pigs the humans that he was going and has already killed THIER blood. Thier blood will be at the bottom. To him it would be like a little bubble bath with a rubber ducky to him. I trailed off....ANYWAY....As I got to the top of the mountain I uncioled the parchachutist. As I did I started to feel sorry for the poor man caught up in a war like this that cost him his life. Its not all too different from what is happening on the island. I was hoping that as I uncioled him he could free and move on to the next life. The rest of humanity has submited to the beast by starting this war and showing no compassion towards each other. I'm just glad that Ralph has not submited to the beast meaning there is still some measure of humanity on the island left. Aaahh that Piggy the most remulous of the bunch. As smart as he is I don't think he will be able to escape the enevitable on the island. Somthing that is going to happen to him. Somthing very bad. Not like he will end up like Jack becasue I would say that that is worse than death submiting to your inner fear and to a boy like Jack. Then I guess he will have better fate. Like I will be shaking hands with him...soon. He might end up giving in to the beast seeing as how they all contributed to killing me at the feast. This might haunt their memory and make them give in to savegry. I still remember the vivid memory of thier fists even though it was at night time, I remember my own warm blood trickling down my cheek which was the warmest thing at the time. As soon as I saw them running at me I knew they were steadfast with the decision to beat me down but the faster I got through my head the easier it was to accept death. Finally I could go bakc to somthing less materialistc and just hope for the best as to what happens to the boys on the island. Hopefully I won't seem them for a while........

opening Statement
Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, we believe that the constitution has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that the defendant, Jack Merridew, is a sadistic bully without a sense humanity and/or regard for the laws and appropriate behavior that are part of civilized society. Jack chose to be a savage criminal on this island and take advantage of the fear ful little childen on the island. He disobeyed Ralph’s rules that provided structure and order for the rest of the boys on the isalnd. Ralph was the elected leader and Jack intentionally broke away from this group and formed his own tribe of savage hunters . He ruled this group through fear and physical violence. The boys of Jack’s tribe paid no attention to morals or good behavior. They simply did what they wanted to do and never stopped to say to themselves, “Is this a good way to behave?” or “is this right?”From the beginning Jack was a boy who was obsessed with hunting and killing pigs. Then he became a complete savage and the sport of hunting pigs became boring. He needed more excitement so he invented the sport of hunting and killing human beings.

Closing Statement
"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the prosecution will prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that the defendant, Jack Merridew, is guilty of two counts of murder. We will show that Jack Merridew was responsible for the deaths of Simon and Piggy and for possibly other things when the boys were stranded on an island without adult supervision.We will show that Jack quickly became a sadistic savage who thinks that he is a special case and does not need laws. However he is wrong and every one here is equal. He constantly fought against and disobeyed Ralph who was the democratically elected leader of the boys. He valued killing above all other activities and constantly tried to convince the other boys to follow him and not listen to Ralph.Although the circumstances surrounding Simon’s death were accidental, the prosecution will show that Jack’s behavior caused the boys to act as killers. Jack ruled his boys through fear and he made them follow him because they believed that he could protect them. We will show that Jack knew that the beast was not real but he pretended it was so that all the boys would continue to be afraid.One of Jack’s strategies to make the boys feel braver was that he created the death chant, “kill the beast, cut his throat, spill his blood.” Also Jack created the dance where a boy pretended to be a pig while all the other boys stood around him and pretended to spear him to death. It was in the middle of this crazed dance that Simon stumbled out from the jungle and all the boys fell upon him and killed him.The prosecution will also present evidence that shows that Jack was responsible for Piggy’s death. Shortly after the boys crashed, Jack broke Piggy’s glasses making Piggy even more helpless than he already was. Then Jack raided Ralph’s camp and stole Piggy’s glasses. This final act was a death sentence for Piggy because without his specs he could not see the rock tumbling down the mountain towards him that killed him.The prosecution will also show that from the very beginning Jack’s sense of un-decency was what lead him and his later-to-be followers to kill Piggy and Simon. Jack hated Piggy because he did not value intelligence and thought that only brawn on the island mattered and not brains. He was obviously wrong about this and started a fire because he wanted to kill ANOTHER person on the island. Jack had the system of thinking that its every man for him self and survival of the fittest mind set. Apparently he thought that by establishing fear in people through raw power that he could rule the island as it where a game of power. In the chant he created with "Kil the pig" he was not meaning literally he also meant to kill Piggy the chant created the behavior that lead to Simon's death and later Piggy's

Blog 13-Blog 9 revision,Piggy reflects on the island
God what a horrible day today it seemed like the night was never going to end and that I was going to die becasue my asthma was acting up again. The haunting memories kept me up and shuddering the entire night. First looking back at the fact that we had commited murd_. Well it was an accident. I mean we could not see any thing and we did'nt do anything to him why should WE be blamed?! Why should WE be punished for somthing we DID'NT do. Oh sorry I got off subject. Anyway I also think it was really freaky how there is only me and
Ralph and a few littluns left in our group so now we have nearly no hope to keep up the fire with such little man power. Oh my god we are going to die!!!*Sigh* I feel like such dead weight and like I was useless when I could not help get some more firewood. Simply becuase of my asthma..."sucks to your ass-mar" he alays says. He might not be the kindest chief but he is a lot better than being with Jack except for the fact they have the man power that we do not have. Which unfourtently we are a little low on now. That ain't the worst of it, during the raid that savage and all his other tribe members took my glasses and with that said they where stifiling my/our hopes of escaping because now we could not keep the fire going. I was somthered in fear at the time and now reflecting on it, it makes me feel like a huge amount of dead weight. But I never thought that humans would be capable of such....IN-humanity even at such a young age I don't think any one could be able of such brutality and ability to infliect pain even when some one's body is not fully grown. Poor Simon...he must be looking down at us form heaven in a beautiful phospheresence looking down at us in shame seeing as how the majority of us has reverted to such savegry

Blog 11, Shame....
The sand on the beach when I got there was torn up like there had been a strugle here un like on a regular beach where the sand is not moved by any thing but the water miving it into the water and out in to the ocean. I saw rustling in bushed ahead of me and pulled out my pistol becuase by the looks of the sand there was some form of humanoid presence on the island. I could hear a strange ululation and saw some thick smoke of in the distance so obviuosly I was dealing with other human beings. A boy about the age of 13 jumped out the bushes I asked him if they had been having a war or somthing and he just planly answred kind of. I really wanted him to elaborte but I needed to get more vital inforamtion about what was happening concering other things on the isalnd. I asked him how many of you are there? Who's in charge rgiht now? Now there where many boys not a lot of them but about 10 of them at the scene. After I asked the only boy to step was the one that I saw to begin with. He looked shamed but was willing to cooparte none the less. The disapintment I felt then was enough to heave a mountain had it been force. Another 1 of the boys was looking like he was going to step up but his jaw droped and just cowered behind the rest of the boys. I could only vizulaize what had happened on the island at that point I really had not time to wonder about what happened we had to get bakc to the boat. I heard whistling sounds in the back ground and gun fire from the machine gun. At that point I realized the irony in all this. I had felt disapointed in thrse boys when every siolder should disapionted in themselves for every life they have tooken when they comited a small fraction of what I have done. The creulty the human race can inflect on its self is incredible.......

Blog 10 Piggy Died
Waking up this morning was hard phisicaly and and mentaly for the both of us. We got up and starting poking at Ralph wating to see what comands he would give us. We had to admit that this seemed really hopeless seeing as how he was asleep and it seems that its hopless when hes asleep and Sam started worring about if a ship had passed by during the night time. But oh well it would not matter. As the day passed Ralph decided to go Jack's and his crazy saveges' encampment and raid or at least try to reason with them to get back the fat guy's glasses what was his name? Oinkster, Oink-person, OOO Piggy ya piggy lets go with that one. It was not a risk that we were willing to take but Ralph was our leader so we had to. A couple of minutes later we were by the cliffs were we could hear the rush of water which was very scary for the both of us. When Jack showed up that was worse then looking down at the sea at the bottom of the cliff. Watching them fight aginst each other was even worse becuase we felt powerles at that point becuase we physicaly could not do anything even if we tried to make some kind of a difference. As the violence continued I heard something scarping. It sounded like 2 objects made out of the exact same materials were rubbing up aginst each other alomst like nails aginst a chalk board. Then the horrible sight came into our view. Even though our view was limited. We did.nt turn around to see the full details of things but we did get to see Piggy's body drop and hit the ocean. At that point we knew that our chances of staying with Ralph were over beuase he seemed to loose all confidence and so did we.

Blog 8 Simon's death
I had to see the mountain I had to see for my self if the beast was real or if was just a figment of my imigination. As soon as I had gotten there I realized the corruption that there was on this island seeing as how Jakc and his tribe worship such a thing somthing that does not even exist and that they fear it as well. Through out history there has never been any religion built of fear unless they disobyed the rules or laws of thier god(s). This is simply an embersment of humanity. I almost pity them......except for the fact that they worship somthing that they think would kill them but they think it will later in my story but lets keep up with what was going on then. As I uncioled the man from the vines I thought poor man only to hope thta winds would take him and he could move on to the next life. Im glad that the beast has not taken the mind of Ralph and his followers unfourtently its starting to. *laugh* ahh that Piggy probobly the most tremulous one of the bunch. I have a bad feeling about him though. Not that he will end up anyhting like Jack but that he himself is in danger of joining me......I not only fear for Piggy but also fear Ralph and his followers will join me simply by thinking back by what they did to me. Still remember the vivid memory of thier fists even though it was at night time, I remember my own warm blood trickling down my cheek which was the warmest thing at the time. As soon as I saw them running at me I knew they were steadfast with the decision to beat me down but the faster I got through my head the easier it was to accept death. Finally I could go bakc to somthing less materialistc and just hope for the best as to what happens to the boys on the island. Hopefully I won't seem them for a while........

Unfourtenetly we are a little low on man power at this point and little people with little loyalty. This isnt good to talk about becuase of my asthma and I will really start to gesticulate. That isnt the worst of it all. during the raid that savage Jack and his little boys with glasses were stifling on our hope to escape simpl becuase we could not light the fire now. I was smothered in fear at the time now reflecting on it makes me feel like a huge amount of dead weight. I never thought that humans would be able of such...in-humanity even at that age I can't belive that people could have such burtality and ability to inflict pain like Jack. Poor Simon he must be looking down at us from heaven in a beautiful phosphorescence looking down at us in shame seeing how we had reverted to such savegry........
