Lord of the Flies
Chapter 9
A View to the Death

*War cry*
Every one came over to my part of the Island except for Ralph and fatty so far. The pig was delicious. Everyone was gnawing on the bone. Eventually Ralph and fatty came. I ordered someone to bring them a piece of meat. You could tell they did not want to eat it but couldn't resist the temptation. They even gnawed on the bone a little. I gave them more and after awhile I stood up and asked if everyone was done. No one answered but figured the answer was yes. So I asked who wanted to be in my tribe. I offered them with food and protection from the beast. Ralph yelled out that he was chief because we elected him and how they are going to keep the fire going. Then he says how we are running after food. Then I yell at how he gnawed at his own piece of meat. He says how we were the hunters and how it was our job and how he still has the conch. I say how the conch doesn’t work at this part of the island. He says how the conch works all over the island. Then I ask again for how will join my tribe. At once a couple people said yeah and some raised their hands. There then was thunder and raindrops started to fall. Ralph says there will be a storm soon and they have the shelters. Then I yelled that we need to do the dance. We started to chant, Kill the beast, Cut his throat, Spill his blood. We made a circle. Someone started to play the pig and we all pretended to kill it. Even the little ones started to make a circle. There was a sound from the jungle and quickly the circle became a horseshoe shape around the noise from the jungle. Something stepped out and we all started to attack it. It muttered something but no one cared. It started to scream. Blood was everywhere. Once we were sure it was dead we left it and moved on to something else without noticing even what it was.
