Narrative of Lord of the Flies
It all began when we crashed on the island. The Island was spectacular, a paradise, our paradise. There was about 15 of us, almost all were complete strangers. I sat there, blowing the conch, the beautiful, powerful conch, as the boys on the island came to the platform. Then we saw a darkness coming towards us; that's when it all began. The experiences i had on this island, this paradise, changed me forever. To begin, most of us did not know each other, yet quickly made bonds with each other, such as Piggy and I. All of us decided we needed a leader and the choice was either Jack or I. I was chosen, that is when Jack began to hate me. At first, everything went well, we had many meetings, which the boys loved, and we made rules. Some of the boys had certain roles or jobs, such as Jack and his choir being the hunters, and Sam and Eric watching over the fire. Everyone agreed that we should have rules and jobs, but no one wanted to follow these rules of do their jobs. "We've got to have rules and obey them. After all, were not savages..."(Golding 38) Jack said. After a conversation with Jack about the boys not working and the hunters not killing any pigs, the tension between us was felt at al times.
These events, beginning when we crashed on this so called paradise, have changed me forever. Jack and I fought twice, he had his tribe tie up Sam and Eric and Roger pushed a boulder off the cliff of the watch tower. Everyone went to this feast, besides Simon who had wondered off earlier in the day after stating that he thought we ought to climb the mountain. Jack and his tribe chased me throwing spears at me. Jack began to bring more boys hunting with him, which caused the boys to stop following rules and stop doing their jobs. They explained to me that Jack had organized a search for me, with the intent of killing me. My life on this island has been adventurous and life threatening. Since that wasn't working well, they set it on fire. At that point all of the boys began walking to the other side of the island looking for me. Jack began to speak sarcastically to me, infuriating me, so it was decided that Jack was to climb the mountain alone. I burst out screaming, swung my spear and knocked over a savage. Everyone participated in the celebrations and chants, including me.
