Chapter 4: Painted Faces and Long Hair
Perspective: Jack
Ughh!
I’ve never felt so proud of myself before. I finally killed a pig! Well, we finally killed a pig… We made up a game plan to surround the hideous creature and attack it. Guess what it worked! I couldn’t believe that it actually worked I’m glad that now we don’t have to eat rotten fruits and plants anymore, we could finally eat meat. Ralph and the litluns would be so proud of me and they’ll probably make me the leader because I finally got some real food. I couldn’t wait to tell them.
The hunters and I walked to the beach to find Ralph to show him our achievement. Wow when I looked at the boys I noticed the swarthiness of their skin and it surprised me how dark we were. All of the boys on the beach were blatant and were just running around throwing sand at each others faces. Finally I saw Ralph we showed him the pig that the twins were holding and I waited for his response. Eww, there were black gouts on the sand and rocks underneath them it made me feel woozy. Ralph looked belligerent, I wondered what was wrong. “You let the fire out” he said with hostility. “Shoot” I thought to myself I had forgotten about the bloody fire. “It’s only been out for a few hours.” I said. “There was a ship and you let the fire out!” Oh my goodness a ship was out there and I was looking for food! How stupid was I? Oh well at least I found food and I could start the fire again if I wanted too.
Piggy started to yell at me I lost my temper and hit him so hard that his specs flew off and broke. He turned around at me and looked at me malevolently. Ha that’s what he gets; he shouldn’t talk to me like that, if he ever talks to me like that he’ll be sorry. I was hungry so I got the pig and started to cut it so we could eat. I gave Ralph some so he could eat but I didn’t give piggy some on purpose. But that stupid Simon has to be so nice doesn’t he had to give Piggy his meat so he could eat it. Ughh… what are we going to do about him?

I love the words you used and how you used them. It really felt like jack was telling his side of the story. you included every part of the chapter in the entry nice job.
I liked how you descriped everything in a well thought out paragraph. You really did a nice job explaning jack as if you were him.
I can also relate to '' i was hungry so i got the pig and started to cut it so we could eat '' because of the saying .. im so hungry i can eat a pig. well sometimes i feel that because i probably could eat a pig.
I liked how any one could read this blog post and they would automatically see what type of personality Jack has. I noticed that me and some other people put that Jack felt sorry for people when that is really not what it say about him in the book. I saw that you didn't do that you only but the feelings that were said in the book and I like that. Lastly I liked how you started off your journal before Jack got to Ralph.
