Piggy has no glasses and, consequently, we have no fire. They stole it. They stole our fire. We don't know how we are going to be able to be rescued if we don't have fire. If they would have just asked we would have given them fire. We would have willingly given it to them. But they didn't even ask at all! It's not like they asked and we said no, they just flat out stole it! Those savages stole our fire! And they stole poor Piggy's glasses! Now he can't see at all; just blurs. At least before he had one good eye to look out of. Now he can't see a thing!
Ralph called an assembly which only we, Piggy, Ralph, and a few littluns attended. He said that we would go to talk to Jack about the specks. Piggy got fed up with Jack and his tribe and all the savagery. He said he was going to talk to Jack and tell him that he HAD to give them back. He had to. It's the right thing to do. But Jack won't care whats right. Jack's a savage. He has no rules, or even expectations for his tribe except that hunting is the most important thing. He doesn't care what's right and what's wrong. But that was what Piggy wanted to do.
So we went to Castle Rock and began to cross over a very thin little bridge of rocks. Poor Piggy couldn't see. He had to hold on to Ralph just to get across. Then we heard a familiar voice shouting down to us.
"Halt! Who goes there?"
It was Roger. Ralph yelled up at him, "You can see who I am! Stop being silly!"
He told us that he wasn't supposed to let us in; Chief's orders. Ralph began blowing the conch- he said he was calling an assembly. Roger picked up a stone and threw it at us, but he missed. Then Jack and a few hunters came out of the jungle. We were trapped. Jack's crew was on either side of us all. Ralph started yelling at Jack, calling him a thief. That got Jack angry and they began swinging their spears at each other like swords. Piggy reminded Ralph what we came there for, and Ralph stopped swinging his spear. He told Jack, "You have to give them back! Piggy can't see with out them! You aren't playing the game--"
Jack yelled to his group to grab us and tie us up and they did as they were told. The anger escalated until Ralph became furious and yelled, "You're a beast and a swine and a bloody, bloody thief!"
Then he charged at Jack with his spear. We were scared. Jack charged too and they fought with their spears. Then Piggy got up and tried talking to the savages, but they all just laughed at him. He continued to talk even through their laughter. He just talked and talked and talked and held up the conch... until Roger pushed all his weight on the lever. The huge rock came crashing down the mountain and sent Piggy and the conch flying. Piggy flew off 40 feet down the cliff and landed with a crash on the rocks below. His head split open and red stuff started pouring out. We were so scared at that point. The crashing waves came and washed what was left of Piggy out to sea. Then Jack threw his spear at Ralph and pinned him in his ribs. Ralph stumbled and began to run. He ran as fast as he could. When he was out of sight Jack came to us and questioned us asking what we meant by coming with spears. We told him thats not the way, but he wouldn't listen. Then Roger took up the questioning; or we should say beating.
He brutally forced us to join his tribe. Then he made an announcement that tomorrow we are going to search the island for Ralph and Roger had sharpened a stick... on both ends.
