Lord of the Flies
Chapter 2 “Fire on the Mountain”
Perspective: Simon

1. I think this is a good island. It has food and drink and maybe even some meat from the pigs.
2. The beastie is a snake like creature this young boy saw on the island. He announced that he saw the beastie in the meeting. After the meeting he was in the forest while the other boys were having a bon fire. The fire accidentally spread from the bon fire into the forest and he got burned to death.
3. The beastie represents all the boys fears of being on the island alone and not. having any grown ups they just don’t show it I don’t either.
4. The beastie makes me scared but I can’t let the other boys find out I hope it does not attack me at night.
5. My plan for being rescued is the fire Ralph suggested I think it will work really good and hope fully a plan or a ship will see it.
6. Yes I want to be rescued because its scary being on the island at night and I just want to be at the comfort of my own home eating real food.
7. We started the fire with piggy specks and the fire burned to fast and hot and went out fast with no smoke.
8. The little boy died from the fire that our smoke fire started.
9. I am different from the boys because I am small and quiet also I help piggy unlike any one else. I am also SUFFUSION
10. when I go to bed at night I get really scared and cant really sleep because e of the “beastie” the boy talked about.
Dear diary today we made a fire, to make it we became a COMMUNION it burned to fast and hot it was ENORMITY to bad it went out there was no smoke because we didn’t use FRONDS . Also when we went to light it jack PINCHED Piggy’s glasses and called him a fatty. And said he was too lazy to help but I said he did because of his glasses. Also the little boy with the mark on his faced died from the fire he had talk about a snake beastie thing I am scared. We will see what the night holds. Good night diary.
