Blog 10: Tied With a Rock

Jack and his wild Hunters crammed us in a small tight area with no where to move. It was getting dark and we could start to feel the ocean breeze getting stringer and stronger. We were breathing quite heavily and we tried many times to stretch our legs and arms out, but there was no room. It was also very uncomfortable under the sharp rocks digging into our bare backs. They treated us like we were the wild pig they were trying to trap and eat themselves.
"You okay over there?"
"I think so-"
"I'm Just kinda -"
"In an awkward position?.."
"We both new he would give them back....especially if it was Piggy. So, it was a dumb idea to go over there and try to ask Jack for the glasses back. Instead of getting more people, we lost people. The Hunters are Batty.... poor Piggy and Ralph... -"
"no one there to help him-"
"Not even us..." We began to quiver at the thought of being here. We felt like prisoners who went to jail for not even doing a crime. How could Jack do this to us?"
Ralph is the rightful leader. He would never do anything to us like this. And he actually has order and is very organized. We really feel bad for Ralph, because if everyone leaves him, then he loses all his hope of getting rescued. If we don't live, we think he deserves to live.
"I'm nervous and frightened-"
"Me too, and I want mum."
"I don't wanna join Jack's dumb group-"
"I think I'd rather stay here and die than join his batty Hunters."
"Jack is a horrible person and I hate him-"
"Yeah, and if we don't join his group, then he will beat us down and cut us with his sharp spear."
We both closed are eyes and thought of a happy place. Like in the summer at the community pool. The water here just isn't the same in the pool. We both missed the pool terribly.
It is certainly easy to believe that there is no way out. At first it was just fun and games but now it was serious and no joking around. People are dying day after day and it is absolutely dreadful. We are afraid that next it could possibly us.
Piggy's death was no accident. That was all Jack and his stupid Hunters!
We still had nightmares of Piggy, laying on the ground, 40 feet down with his brains squeezing out and Simon screaming and crying as we attacked him after the terrifying dance.
We can't deny that it was us that murdered Simon just like Jack can't deny he murdered Piggy. It was on purpose and everyone knows it.
We could tell the day we first spotted our eyes on Jack Merridow, and we dint even want him to be the leader then. We just wanted to have fun at school singing the talented choir.
We were both thinking what all of them were going to do to us tomorow. We simply does off into night night time and gently closed our eyes. Both hoping that is wanst our last day living and loving life.

Blog 9: Attack From Sight

As i awoke, i could see the morning sun rising over the horizon. It reflected off the loud crashing waves, in a phosphorescence and delightful way. But that was about the only thing I could see without my glasses.
The morning after ....it happened, Ralph and I were chatting about how it happened. Well,it was difficult to remember, since we both weren't there. Jack and his hunters were the ones who did it. Ralph and I didn't do it, we were out of the circle.
Well, i wasn't sure if they did it on accident or on purpose. Because we were all scared, it was dark and we thought it was the beastie. I couldn't help myself but to be gesticulate. What if it was on purpose? I mean Jack is taking over this island. But maybe it was an accident.
Well after that awkward conversation with Ralph, we planned to go to bed.

Flash Back =( blue witting)

"Did you hear that?" Ralph whispered to me. i didn't hear anything so i nodded 'no' to him. He then told me to keep on listening for a while. I then heard a those creepy noise's like in a scary movie. Next, a horrible voice coming from outside the hut.

"Piggy...Where are you? PIGGY!!" The scary thing said. I was very shuddered and frightened, cause i thought it was the beastie. But a question popped in my head....how would the Beastie know my name? But i wasn't worried about that right now.
Then, it attacked us! i didn't know what for but what i did know was that i couldn't let it push me around. It was pitch black dark, so i couldn't see anything. I got on my knee's and felt around till I sat again something solid.
My asthma caused me to stifle and make me a little woozy. I was tried to escape, but somebody was smothering me as they lay on top of me and beat me over and over.
It wasn't until the morning when i realized it wasn't the Beastie, it was stupid old Jack and the Hunters.
At first I thought he was coming for the conch but after they fought us and kicked and punched I realized that he only came for my specs. I stood up from where I lay and felt my face with blood smothered all under my nose.

I was very shocked when i found out Jack and his Hunters took them! First they had to kill Simon and now they had to sabatoge me by taking my glasses. I cant believe what Jack has become, but I wont be able to help.

Blog 8: Rewind in Heaven

As I awoke, not remembering what happened before I......I couldn't say it, i couldn't believe all of them did that to me.
I started to jump from cloud to cloud. I wanted to rewind the whole story over. So I can see exactly what happened.
I stared down at the small island, i could see Jack and his tribe parting and eating like pigs. I would wonder what would happen to Jack's tribe next.
But also at the same time, while Piggy and Ralph are back on the island being so steadfast i could also see my home at war.
I remember standing on the mountain, just staring at the Lord Of The Flies. He was talking like he was the devil. The whole time, i was thinking "What happens Next?" I know he warned me about the dangers upon the island and inside the other boys.
As i was waking up, from being unconscious, i could hear a annoying ruffle or something caught on a branch. I opened my drowsy eyes and I saw, what it looked like some kind of parachute. I panicked and for a second, i thought it was the beastie. But i took a closer look and it was a dead man. I should have known, that was a sign.
I had to go and tell the other boys, that there was no beastie and it was some kind of dead man. But Jack being the corrupt guy he is, he would never believe me.
The pig smelled tastier and tastier, so I knew i was getting closer and closer.
My eye's suddenly shut and I didn't know what was going on. All i could hear was "KILL THE BEAST! CUT HIS THROAT! SPILL HIS BLOOD!"
As my mind exploded with good and bad memories, i felt my last real tear drop trickle down my cut face.
It was tremendous , I felt like the whole world was in the palm of my sweaty hands. I knew this was the end. I never thought dying would be so painful inside and out.

Blog Quest: Big Boys dont Cry

Listen to our song:

http://students.hightechhigh.org/~kpohling/big_bois_dont_cry.wav/


La Da Da Da Da

The smell of the fire lingers on me now
We could be on a ship back to our home town
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
To be with myself and Center, Clarity Peace, Serenity

CHORUS:
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has everything to do with you
It's personal, myself and you
We've got some straightening out to do
And I'm gonna miss home like a child miss home
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big boy now
And big boys boys don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry

The path that I'm walking
I must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if you stay

CHORUS:
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has everything to do with you
It's personal, myself and you
We've got some straightening out to do
And I'm gonna miss home like a child miss home
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big boy now
And big boys boys don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry


Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play cricket and cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be leader
Yes you can build huts if you want to 'Cause I want to build them too
We'll be playmates and friends and share our secret clearing
But we'll for wait for the ship to us home
It's getting late, dark outsideI need to be with myself and Center, nature
Peace, Serenity


CHORUS:
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has everything to do with you
It's personal, myself and you
We've got some straightening out to do
And I'm gonna miss home like a child miss home
But I've got to get a move on with my lifeIt's time to be a big boy now
And big boys boys don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry

Blog 7: Beastie Boundries

Kill the pig! Cut his throat! Bash him in! Those intense words kept running over and over in my head, as if a broken record player. It made me feel strong and brave. As all that was happening, i just felt wild and i can do anything.
When we were surrounding Robert, i totally forgot that he was a human, i thought he was a wild animal that we found in a covert. I wanted to stick the spear right through his heart and watch him suffer.
I pushed through some of the boys to get in closer to the game. Actually, it had gone a little to far to call it a game. Jack pretended to cut his throat. I could tell in Jack angry eyes that he also forgot that he was a human being and not a harmless pig.
I think Jack is a good hunter and I also like his personality. He is uncom promising in his desire to hunt and kill innocent pigs. Well, that is the most important thing to him.
Its really infuriating that Ralph mixing up all our plans. And that keeps us away from hunting time. I mean, we don't really need shelter and i don't think the signal fire helps us.
We are on this awesome adventure with infinite opportunities to have fun!

Later, Ralph, Jack and I wanted to go see the beastie for ourselves. We were about to all climb the mountain when Jack was his old brave self and was talking about how he was already going to kill it.
We got to almost the top of the mountain and me and Ralph stopped for a second or tow.
Ralph was being a coward and didn't want to go any further then that point. I was about to go with Jack, but my head was spinning and i felt like i just had a hang over. So i stayed with Ralph at the bottom waiting for Jack to come back with the news about the beastie.
In the corner, i could hear Ralph snivel about how he want to get rescued. I thought to myself, at this point, he wanted to get saved, we might die tonight if the beast follows Jack.
Jack came running back and he was talking sagely about how he saw the beastie and he looked kind of like an ape. Now it's dark and we might just make a huge blunder by blindly walking right into the beast's lair.
As i hoped, there is a beast, and that means somehow and sometime.....there is something to kill out there!

Blog Quest: Rehad Remix

Listen to our song....
http://students.hightechhigh.org/~kpohling/read_the_book.mp3


(Chorus)
They tried to make me read the book
I said no, no, no.
Yes I been bad, but it makes me mad
so I say no,no,no.

(Bridge)
I ain’t got the time
And if my teachers thinks Im fine
He’s tried to make me read the book
I wont read, read, read.

(Verse 1)
First there's that one guy Ralph
He's the one with the big mouth
now he's gona, he's gona lose his power cause he's treated sour.

Now i know that he's the lead
But he's got to keep the fire to succeed

(Chorus)
They tried to make me watch the fire
I said no, no, no.
Yes thats my job, but i wont sob
so I say no,no,no.

(Bridge)
I ain’t got the time
And if my hunters thinks Im fine
He’s tried to make me watch the fire
I wont watch, watch, watch.

(Verse 2:)
There Jack, he always talking smack
he's the savage, hunting one
And Simon has innate morality
and Piggy who's always shun.
I just think their depressed
cause the beastie makes them all stressed

(Chorus)
They tried to make me blow the conch
I said no, no, no.
Yes I been head, but not after what Simon said
so I say no, no, blow.

(Verse 3)
Some eighty boys are stuck
looks like, ooo, they're o utta luck
It cause's us to think...
What is true Human Nature
do we live by our own rules,
or folow our set rules

(Regular Chorus)

Now that im done it seemed really fun

that i know human nature comes from the world around you.

Blog 5: Stunning Sunset

The scorching sun beating on my pale back. It reflects from the deep blue water onto my cheerful face. People splashing and jumping around, around. I imagine its a wild adventure for all the curious creatures beneath the living ocean.
The vibrant indigo color of the water, makes it seems so peaceful and calm. It could never get as rough as a tsunami, or even a 20 foot wave. The coarse - grain sand, under my relaxed feet almost feel like their about to dissolve into nothing.
Each wave is so gentle, but still carries me out a few steppes each time a wave come in and out. The seagulls, making loud strident squeals, sometimes made me off track, but then i heard the salty water crash against the big rocks down by the kiddy park.
After, I sit in the warm sand and lay on my Disney's beach towel, softly stroking my soaked hair and eating a chip or two. Everybody and Everything just always keeps me entertained, even though its almost time to get dark and go home. I finally get into the parking lot, as I take my last look up at the sky, I spot the most amazing and beautiful sunset, i will ever see.

Blog 4: Ship, Fire and Pig

Every morning, the bright sun rises. Every night, the same sun sets. But some point in the middle of that happening, around midday, unusual and strange things happened. Lately, Piggy has been calling it Mirage. Well he obviously creates illusions of different objects on this island, that isn't really there.
In sudden moment, gyrating into the beautiful turquoises sky. I first thought it was a ship in the distance, i thought I was turning into Piggy, having those weird mirage moments, but i was delighted as i saw it was still there. I stood there a little bit longer....I was positive it was real.....I think....I needed to go tell the others.
I was so joyful that a ship was actually hear to save us! Well I didn't have much time, so i ran thought the rough tendrils. I was almost there, when I heard a small whimper behind the tall jungle tree. It was a littlun scared to bits. He said he saw the beastie. I couldn't worry about that now, I had to find the others quick. As i took his hand, he followed me step by step.
We finally arrived to the to our little civilization. I didn't see anyone. Oh, i just remembered where Jack and the Hunters were. They were on the mountain watching the fire. I glanced up the mountain. NO SMOKE!!!!!!!
Seriously, why did jack have to kill a pig! why? why? why? I mean he's so not responsible, he cant even watch the fire for a few hours? I was about to give a loud Shrill. He pretty just lost our chance of being rescued by the ship. His obsessions with hunting pigs became more and more irrelevant to our needs. We didn't need meat! His failures make me malevolent towards him. Now everybody implicated that Jack was the leader.
I was just so blown away by Jack's and the Hunters preposterous actions. I heard some ruffling in the bushes to the left of me. I was frightened. The faces were painted with opalescence white clay and had different designs in red and black paint. I then figured out it was Jack and the Hunters. When the entire group came out, lastly, Sam and Eric followed with a dead pig on a split.
I knew everybody was hungry, but we had to have a meeting with Jack. This has gone to far. I told him about the ship, and he was supposed to keep the signal fire going. All he said was we were hungry and wanted meat. He apologized, but totally implying how he was not really sincere, but not incredulous. He knew he had to apologize, so the hunters will still be loyal to him.
I politely picked up Piggy's glasses and started the fire, to roast the pig, even though i was still terribly upset with Jack. In about 20 minutes, their were medium- rare pig sticks ready to devour. We all had some to eat, but i wish we spent that time getting rescued.

Blog 3: Huts or Pig~!~

I'm sweaty and I can feel it drip down my sunburned and freckly back. As I get closer and closer to the chubby pink pig, I can see a frightened glimmer in his eyes. I accidentally stepped on a twig, as i slowly move backwards. The pig saw me. I jump up nervously and try to dodge the long tendrils and barbs as the touched my bare pale skin, running through the festoons of trees and branches.
The wild winds flow through my dirty long hair and starts to slowly dry my sweaty face. The image of fresh meat, is the only thing keeping me motivated. The pig was afraid, so it turns the corner quickly and disappears, out of sight. Its gone.
The oppressive heat makes me find my self on the way back at the beach, in search for fresh water. I know I'm close to the beach, because i took a glance and saw the inscrutable sight of the ocean.
I saw Ralph from the distance. He gave me a furtive glance. I slowly walk over there to ask him if he has any water. I'm wishing I could flaunt about my victory killing a pig, but that hadn't happened yet.
I told him my story and how before we get rescued, i have to kill a pig. He seemed bewildered by my request. All he wanted to do is build huts. He said that shelter is more important then meat. I didn't think so, because it would be a waist if we built all the huts, but we didn't have any food, so then we would die. If I was chosen to be leader, we could of already had years worth of meat. Instead, Ralph and Simon are building huts, and the little ones are having all the fun they want.
I still cant believe I wasn't chosen to become leader. Well, weather he likes it or not, I'm going to catch and kill a pig. That will make me have all the power. I wonder if we can have another vote? Wait and see.....
