Walking over to Castel rock we were very scared we didn't know what the hunters or fully capable of. We really did not want to know what they might do us if they didn't want us at Castle rock because, that was their territory and not ours. As we approached this small area to pass from the island to Castel rock we got even more scared and we clenched onto each other's arms. The first hunter that we saw was Robert. Small rocks came flying at us from above, we thought that we were going to be hit and get hurt. We looked up and saw who was throwing the rocks it was Roger but, he missed every time as if he was purposely not trying to hit us it was probably because, he still had a little bit of good and enough to keep him from hurting us and doing other people are but at the same time he wanted to go with the flow and followed Jack. Piggy walked up to Jack stumbling along the way because he did not have his glasses.
"Give me back my glasses" said Piggy.
"why" said Jack.
"Because it's the right thing to do" said Piggy.
"What kind of in the answer is that" said Jack.
"The best answer and answer I just gave you" said Piggy.
Up the cliff that piggy was standing under was the rest of the hunters there was a big Boulder rock next to them. They were prying it up with a stick, finally they got it out of its place and it fell right on top of piggy. we were both scared to our bones . Piggies body flew into the ocean about 40 feet away, he landed on a big rock the water all around him turned red and bloody his brains slipped out of his head. we wanted to throw up but, at the same time cry becaus the devastation of piggy death.
"Sam and Eric you're coming with us" said Jack.
piggy's Glasses
Piggy’s glasses represent knowledge and scientific meaning. I think this because Piggy is really smart in school subjects but not really in life. What they mean to the others boys is a way to start fires and the glasses show how Piggy is vulnerable because they mean so much to him. If he doesn’t have them he can be taken advantage of because he can’t see well without them.
The Signal Fire
The signal fire represents their tie to society and their hope of being rescued. When they first light the fire they have a lot of hope of being rescued. As it dies out there hope of being rescued dies with it. When the signal fire goes out everything goes crazy and they start hunting and making huts because they think they are going to stay on the island and not be rescued.
The Conch
The conch represents Democracy and power and order. An example is when Piggy finds the conch in the beginning of the book. He decides to blow into it and kids start coming out of the jungle and every one assembles on the beach. Also when you are holding the conch you have the power to talk. So like when somebody in the book has the conch it is there turn to talk and this is defiantly a sign of power. This also shows order in the group of boys that would otherwise not necessarily be willing to listen to each other if they didn’t have the conch.
The Beasty
The beastie represents fear among the youngins because they don’t know what it is. One of the boys supposedly got taken by the beastie at least that is what the younger kids think. The beastie represents the unknown to the kids. But to Jack the beastie is power because he wants to catch it and kill it. If he does that, people will respect him more and think of him as their savior.

Even though it was kind of gross, I like how you included details about Piggy's death. But again, make sure to check your grammar and spelling because I saw a few mistakes. Good Job
Jake-
I really like how you have constant opinions on what's happening in the story, something we don't see in the book. You did have some misspellings and run on sentences. You might want to seperate the first sentence with a semi colon or a period because it talkes about two different thoughts.
