Chapter Title: The Sound of Shell

My Title: Gathering of The Survivors

Perspective: Piggy

When I woke up that morning I forgot where I was. All I remember from the day before was the plane crashing. Everything after that was a blur. I sat up and all I saw was a big area where all the trees were flattened. I thought that, that was where the plane crashed. I knew I was right when I turned around and saw the wreckage. I saw a boy with fair skin sleeping on the floor. I had never slept with my specs on until that night. I stood up and put on my tog. I pushed my specs up on to my nose and curled my hair behind my ears. The suffusion came back to my face 5 minutes after I woke up. I looked around and I was in the middle of the flattened trees. I looked at the site of the crash. The motif was the flattened trees for about a quarter of a mile. I woke up the boy and he was startled. I looked up to try and determine what time it was and I saw all the palm fronds swaying in the wind. He realized I was no threat and he then told me his name was Ralph. He got up and he took me to a beach and immediately I thought we were on an island. I told him my name and he sniggered nonstop for one minute. I can’t believe that in all the sea our flight crashed on an island. It must have been the pilots doing. The water was so blue and clear that it was like a heated pool, but salty. We found a conch and sounded it to gather the survivors if there were any. A whole group of boys came out of the shadows and we elected a chief. The chief was Ralph. Jack was the only other option but he wasn’t elected. He seemed mean and demanding so only his choir, because he was the head of the choir, voted for him. Simon was a boy who hasn’t quite told us about him. A question was raised to know if this was an island. Three boys went on an expedition to the highest point they could see and found out that it was an island. They saw a smaller island near the island that they were on. They haven’t come back yet but I have a feeling that we are on an island. Ralph had taken the conch with him because it represents him being leader. I feel that the conch is definitely a good way to govern us but I feel that I too should have some part in the government. After all I was the one who found the conch. I feel that the boys in the choir are not social enough but they will be very good hunters. I want Ralph to be leader because I have come to like him even though he is snobby. He also will make a good leader because he is smart and has good judgment. Overall Ralph is probably a better leader.
