chapter 7

Lord of the Flies

Chapter 7 "Shadows and Tall Trees"


I’m all alone watching the littluns. The littluns are just jumping around as if the were dun. Ralph and the others are somewhere on the island doing god knows what, but before that I heard that Simon said that the beastie could be in all of us, but for sure I think its jack. Simon said sagely that the beastie could be a person who was once heroic, but now sick and twisted. Ralph and the others are of looking for the beastie, bur before they left all of them were covered in brine from sweating all day. Why does Jack always pick on me? He never picks on Ralph as if Ralph was impervious. I fell asleep and I was daydreaming of me in old Britain playing rugger on some moors. I remember I always had to pull out my inhaler because of my asthma. When I was a yougin back in the day I was always bravado, but now because of that asthma I do nothing. I’m a fat little boy that everybody calls piggy. Suddenly Roger runs to me, and tells me he heard Ralph scream out of no where. I think they finally found the beastie.
