Blog 14- Revision of "Chapter 12: Cry of the Hunters"

I was reaching an island the one I was sent to because supposedly there were young boys that landed here on a plane crash. I was sent on a mission to see if I could find anyone actually on this island. But right know I still hadn’t made it I was close by there, my captain on the radio telling me to elaborate were I was exactly at the moment. I told him I was about twenty minutes away. At first I thought these people were crazy, they were just a bunch of kids, obviously I knew that they all had something to do with the crash. Know I was arriving we dropped anchor, and know I could hear an ululation of boys coming near and a fire. It turned out there was a boy running out of the forest and a bunch of little children and big kids running out of the forest too. They were all carrying spears as if they were going to kill the boy that was running ahead of them. I was trying to heave the boys that had spears and they started to cry of course they put down there spears and they were all, scared of me. But they had no reason to be because I wasn’t here to hurt them on the contrary I cam to rescue them and help them escape this horrible experience for them. There was a cower between all of them and like I said they were all probably visualizing that I was going to hurt them. But I wasn’t and they were all scared of me. The boy in the front that came out running out first was so badly hurt and bruised was bleeding all around. I asked if they had crashed on the island, they all said they had and on the way I asked them for there names. One of them couldn’t really tell me his name, but in the end on of his friends, the boy that was running ahead of the pack of the rest of the boys was telling me on the way back home that his name was Percival. I kept asking them if they remembered the name of the plane or when the plane crashed and what were the survivors names and also who were the ones that died and their names. But they had tried so hard to remember and the boys that were crying that were carrying spears, they told me that they were trying to hurt the boy that had come out of the forest first. But it wasn’t that it was that they were crying because it looked like they did something wrong. But they never did tell me what it was, they had told me it had to do with rocks and hard civilization problems. But even then I didn’t understand, at first I though they were crazy but they weren’t they were just misunderstanding and were scared and didn’t really know what to tell me other than, telling me that they were happy that I had rescued them on time before someone else would have died.

Blog 13- Revision of "Chapter 11: Castle Rock"

It was day and the sun was coming out it felt so hot and heavy on your skin. It almost felt like there was to much of it's rays hitting you in the face. Everyone was up and Ralph was just siting on the beach, Piggy was still blind and without his glasses. As you already know the one that stole the glasses was Jack and he also took our fire and made it so that we don't have fire anymore. We had no fire and everyone was worried about how there was no fire for cooking and we could only eat fruit. Piggy started arguing with Ralph about how he couldn't see and how we didn't have any fire neither on the mountain or on the beach it was all gone. When they came over they were telling me and sam that they were planning to go to find Jack and the hunters and to tell them to give piggy back his glasses. The next thing we know were at the place were simons death was and they weren't there. It turned out we had to keep going to find Jack. Until then the sun hit us do hard it practically made our skin a bronze color, me and sam were eventually the tiredest of all and we sweat ed a lot. We kept walking and found them it turned out there new location were they were was at Castle Rock were they had know a sort of fort and had shelter and also food because they hunted for pigs and then cooked them. Then Jack was right behind Ralph and it looked like Ralph was a little scared to see him right behind him, it was like there he was breathing down his spine. Then Jack sent for me and sam to be held by some of the boys from our own choir that were our friends before but know where our enemy's. Then Jack starts to tell all of us to leave because this part was his part of the island. Ralph started to get really red and mad and so did Jack so they started to hurt each other with spears. So piggy kept reminding Ralph that we were just here to want his glasses. Until we all heard a big sound coming, but piggy couldn't hear and so he was lost and didn't know were to go so unexpectedly he got crushed by a big rock and was dead. Me and sam were then forced to be with Jacks or else he would kill us and we were scared so all we new to do was to not even have hope for anyone because Ralph was gone and know we were left alone all together. But well I was thankful that at least Eric was with me because if he wasn't I would probably be the scariest person alive. Also not be able to be at least alive for too long. I wonder will we ever see Ralph again, and if we do will we ever be rescued from the evil clutches of Jack and his tribe?

Blog 12 "The Case of Jack Meridew"

The qualifications for being a jury is to be at least 18 years old, can understand English enough to understand and discuss the case. You must be a resident of the county; you haven’t served in a jury for at least 12 months because if you have the judge and also the lawyers might think that you know too much about cases and trials. Are currently not in any other court case or in any other jury the judge and lawyers think that if you are involved in a case like this were you have to make two different decisions they believe that you might make the wrong decisions for both cases, that you are not under a conservator ship, have had your civil rights restored if you were convicted of a felony or malfeasance while holding public office. Some basic details for being a juror, you get paid 15 dollars every day you come to the court case, every time you get paid 34 cents for every mile you take to get to the court house. You can only be excused from jury service only if you have a physical or mental impairment, serving would be an extreme financial burden or if you must take care of another person and there is no one else available to do it. Only then will you be selected to be excused from jury service. The jury is selected by first the judge giving the jurors a perjury admonishment. This in other words is an oath you must promise, if you do not answer the questions truthfully you can possibly go to jail for that. The juror duties during the trial you have to pay attention to the case going on and maybe take notes in your head or in your notepad, which you must bring on your own. Also you must give or be ready to give your decision of the trial, the rest of the juror’s must agree to your decision because you are making a decision in a criminal case and the vote must be unanimous. This means that the entire jury must be in agreement with you and if they aren’t they must convince you or you must convince them to agree with you. You must be ready to make a decision at the end of the case because if your decision is based for the community’s next rule/law maybe or even if to let the prosecutor leave and be free, or leave the prosecutor in jail for an amount of time. But well no stress on all the jurors out there because from what the video on jury preparation was most of the people that were interviewed they said it was probably the best experience of there life. They said that at first they were scared thought that it might be very hard and difficult, but the truth is that you just answer some questions truthfully and make sure that you have civil rights in the United States. No you do not need special training to be a part of the jury; you must just have honest answers and truthful responses to the questions. You can not do any other information out of the court case for the case. You cannot do any research on the case or tell anyone that you are part of the jury or that you were going to be a juror but got voted out, the lawyers ask you questions and if you don’t respond to one of the questions with truthfulness then they will be checking if you are asking yourself. The people that are asking these questions are the lawyers which just want honest responses, because they want honest and truthful jurors to serve in a real jury which would be in there court case. The judge also asks you if you know any of the people that are there, so if your do you must promise to give an honest answer/ response to the court case. You must not agree to the people that you know only because you know them you have to be honest and speak truthfully. They would not like you to tell anyone that you are part of this, because they think that people might influence a decision so that you don’t make your own decision on the case. Sometimes even when you are in a special case, you must remain in a hotel and have at least 2 guards in your outside door and you can’t go anywhere or do anything. You do go into a separate closed room to make your decision, the decision must be unanimous though and if it’s not you have to convince people to your side or you must agree with the other side.

Blog 9 "Chapter 10: The Shell and the Glasses"

It was morning the day after Simon murdered by such people. That day I can not bare to remember, the horror and total murder. Inside everyone they all knew it was true, there was a shudder running down my entire body. I could feel the presence of the day before, the total murder. Something no one could bare to believe anyone could ever do. Other than Jack knows because he was now the villain the one who could hurt people and the bad guy in the entire island. It was becoming morning and everyone started to get up, I was the only one that saw the sun’s phosphoresce that day. I felt like I was the only one that could remember that no one did anything to save our friend Simon, that none of us could help him. It was dark and there was nothing to see, but in the end we weren’t really the ones that killed Simon because someone had shouted out that there was someone coming out of the forest unfortunately no one knew it would be Simon. I heard someone coming, I turned around and saw Ralph he was awake. He said hello and quickly made gestures at me, I asked him what he was doing and he said he was trying to breathe in the air that had that beach scent. We started talking about what had happened the day before, he said he went to Jack’s party but he said he had not participated although he did say that he went and I knew he had also participated in the dancing. I’m not that sure if he participated in the stifle of Simon but I am sure he went to the party. Everyone knew Simon that day was being smothered by the rest of the people that were around him and almost everyone at the party. But there was more to say so we just left our conversation on how both of us attended the party but had nothing to do with Simon’s death. Then we say Samneric, they were both by the lagoon. They told us that they had collected rained on wood for the fire. But we had also asked them about the party last night they told us the same thing that we had concluded on, with me and Ralph that we had that same conversation that same day in the morning and it was close to afternoon that day. But it was getting close to night time and the fire was out. There was no way to start a fire without wood that was dry. Since it was close to night time everyone was getting tired until the only ones left that were still not asleep were me and Ralph. But our eyes started to get tired and really wanted a good night sleep. Ralph started to close his eyes and went to talk to me, but I stayed up and kept hearing noises. They were coming from outside I told Ralph to quite down but by the time he did they had already hurt us. They had taken the most important thing that was giving me eyesight. Yes just like you hear it they had taken my eye glass. But know I couldn’t see and they had also hurt us. I asked who that was it was Jack and two hunters that come with us. The truth is that we had been almost ambushed by Jack and two hunters.

Blog 8 "Chapter 8 and Chapter 9"

I felt so corrupted when I was talking to the lord of the flies. It felt like I was dreaming but then it was so real at the same time, I was like frozen and the only thing I could do was talk. I was tremulous to be talking to the lord of the flies as well as it was to feel so corrupted. There was a trickle that was coming from inside my hiding place. But, the lord of the flies was really scaring me after it told me what I should do after I stop talking to him. After this I remember that when i woke up I went to see the beastie the thing that they all thought was someone that was going to hurt us, the thing that Jack gave an offering to when he was going mad about saving an offering of the pig's head for the beast. It turned out to be just a dead gut with a parachute and they thought it was a beast because of its parachute. No wonder they thought this because at night they could see that the parachute moved and it would make them to think that it was a beast. The lord of the flies was right though because once I got there everyone started to beat me and bite me and hurt me until eventually I saw myself from the top of heaven looking down at myself and noticing that I was dead once everyone had backed away from my body. Everyone that was steadfast to me people that I trusted had beaten me and hurt me. When I was looking at myself from heaven I saw that wow, I was very hurt and bruised, and I also saw that Jack was the first one to hurt me so badly that he was the one that made most of the blood come out of my body. I kept asking myself how could I ever trust these people the hunters what I was the people that I knew they were all hurting me right know and where thinking that I was the beast, which I wasn’t. But to think that you really could even trust that either Ralph or Piggy did anything to stop them from hurting me, what a ruler Ralph was. I can’t believe that Ralph and Piggy went to Jack’s party after all when around the time they wanted to end in who would be the chief, they wanted to kill me. It turned out Roger started being the pig and then it was me the center of attention that ended up dying. Know that they killed me though I still can’t believe they all had the courage to hurt even a pig or even a real one of them like a human being like me. I still can’t believe that Ralph excepted to go although I kind of know that they didn’t really want to go really badly they just went to check and see where the rest of the tribe was.
