Fire on the Mountain
The Friend That Stands up for me
Perspective: Piggy
After waiting and waiting Jack, Ralph, and Simon come back. To make us all more organized and listen better we decided the conch is the talking shell. We can only talk if we have it in our hands.
I feel that I need to start standing up for my self. I yell about how no one knows we crashed on an island. How we could be stuck here forever. After I raise my opinion everyone is silent. They seem scared but all I did was tell the truth. To top it off one of the younger boys started talking about how he saw a “beastie” looking thing the night before. Everyone’s face got scared. The older boys stopped the errant scared boys. They were martyred from what we the younger boy told them. My buddy Ralph had the idea he wanted to start a smoke cloud for if or when a plane comes by to give us help. More of the stronger and fit boys went to collect wood. I was left to keep count of how many people were there and make sure everyone was there afterwards. Jack induced me into giving him my glasses to put into the fire to make it larger. I fought with him but soon I lost. He recriminated me of never helping with anything after I didn’t do my job. The little boy that talked about the “beastie” was missing. Simon decided he was going to stand up for me and tell everyone how I helped out by giving my glasses. Simon is a true friend and once he stood up for me I like he was officious to me. I felt like Jack doesn’t appreciate me being here until Simon stood up for me after I stood up for myself.
