The Sound of the Shell
The land of the lost
Perspective: Ralph

The island is full of trees, there’s a scar. A scar from what you may ask? From the plane crash. The trees were pressed down and the fronds were all around me. I see a body of water along with that water, I see another boy who seems to look my age only, chubbier. I introduce myself; he doesn’t say his name until he talks about what kids in class called him. His name made me snigger, it was Piggy. We start to wander and wonder, we wonder what happened to the other boys that were on the plane. We continue our search and find a pool. I take my clothes off and see how deep it is. Turns out it was deeper than I thought. I jump in and wait for Piggy to join me. He throws of his togs and jumps in next to me. While walking we found a conch shell. It was pink and white. Piggy decided to use it as a makeshift trumpet to find the rest of the boys. He blows it and boys rush over to us. The oldest ones were 12 years old and the youngest were around 6. A boy named Jack walks over to us. He starts taunting Piggy. We find out Jack is the precentor and then we choose a leader. All the choir boys vote for Jack but luckily all the other boys vote for me. I think that I won the vote because I look like more of a leader, and I’m not as stuck up as that Jack kid who thinks he has enormity. I’m going to take care of these boys the best cause I will treat them all equally and as if the were siblings. Jack, a choir boy named Simon and myself go on an expedition up a mountain to find out if what we are on is a island or a piece of land. After hours of search we get to the top. It was an island and we could see another one from the top. On their way back we find a wild pig stuck in the creepers. Jack pulls out a knife and starts chopping down the vines around it. This is just the start of great friendships.
