Chapter 1  The Sound of the Shell

"

Dear diary,

We are still stuck on the island. No one knows where we are. Ralph thinks his dad is going to come, but he is really not. 

Ralph and I are also friends, but Fatty (Piggy) doesn't like me at all, but I don't care. 

Ralph called us to a meeting. I wonder what was this meeting about. I think its about being able to see among the mountains. Ralph called us to tell us, we need to make a fire. "I was in," I said.

 I was the first person to leave and go make a fire. I led the others to make a fire on the mountain. I didn't know what to do at first, so I asked, "Does any one know what to do."No one knew. We came without a plan. I didn't know what to do. I asked Ralph for a idea, he doesn't have ideas either.

I pinched off fatty's glasses, like he really needs them. The glasses were suppose to help just in case a plane or a boat came by, but the fire was out of control. No one could stop the fire to minimum. The young boys gave us fronds and wet wood.

The fire got out of control. We couldn't do anything to it. I left when it was getting to big. It got way to big. The fire turned in to a big explosion.

There was a little boy left in the woods. I heard there was a little boy missing. I betcha its the little boy with a big mulberry mark on his face. I think he is still alive somewhere in the vines. I don't want to go there because the vines gave me a lot of scratches on my leg.

I think Ralph went to go see where he was at. No one knew. I really wasn't interested as where the missing boy is at right now. I don't care because there is no use to have littluns around. They play, eat and sleep all of the time.
