Beast from Water


Chapter 5 begins with a meeting because Ralph feels like they're getting out of control. He gives them new rules about where they go to the restroom, always taking food to the main fire to cook, and to always keep the fire going for signal. They boys start talking about a beast and they get scared. Ralph tries to tell them there is no beast and Jack says if there is they will just kill it. When Piggy tries to talk no one will let him. A little boy named Percival cries and tells them he has seen a beast. They make fun of him then they get scared. He just keeps crying though and Jack takes most of the boys away from the meeting to go play the hunting game. The only ones left at the meeting are Ralph, Piggy, and Simon, plus some little boys. Ralph talks about giving up being chief, but Piggy and Simon tell him to keep being chief. They talk about wishing grownups were there to tell them what to do. At the end of the chapter the little boy Percival is still crying.

The Sound of The Shell


Right when it started off we were interduced two the main chacters Ralph and Piggy. Piggy is a short fat kid with glasses and Ralph is a kid that looks a boxer. The two boys went to the ocean to take a swim and they came across a conch. Ralph took the conch and goes on top of the pink rock and blows through it a few times and this choir of boys show up. When they showed up they were lead by Jack. In the choir was a boy named Simon who was very weak and fainted a lot. Then a few more kids came no adults were there. All the boys decided that they needed a leader, and they voted and Ralph. So then they needed to know if they were actually on a island. so Simon, Ralph, and Jack decided to go look around to see if it was an island. The rest of the boys stayed in that one spot. Simon, Ralph, and Piggy come upon a piglet and they couldnt kill it because they were to scared of the guts and everything.
