Simon's Ghost

Dear diary,

I have been watching the boys after my death. Ralph and Piggy were talking about my death. At least Ralph recognises good and bad. He new that this was murder. Piggy said it was just an accident, and that it was somewhat my fault for crawling out of the forest. They said they were outside of the circle. Ralph saw what happened to me but Piggy said he only got an eye in here and there. They were on the outside of the circle. I'm disappointed that they had even been a part of all this. I am not happy that they killed me. It was murder. Why did it have to be me? I don't know what else to say about my death. It was sudden and no one could have predicted that it was going to happen. Things happen for a reason.

Jack has become a monster. He is tying his own tribe members up. He is going to beat poor Wilfred. But no one else in his tribe knows why. Jack wont tell anyone. I just know that he was mad and had him tied up. They talked about killing me. Jack and his hunters said that I supposedly was the beast in disguise. But I am not the only beast, the beast is in all of us. Jack takes Roger and Maurice hunting with him. They talk about stealing Ralph's fire. They also talk about meeting the beast again. I wish that I could have warned Ralph about this. If I had maybe Piggy wouldn't be dead.

I'm not surprised that Jack had his tribe attack Ralph's tribe. Jack never liked Ralph. Jack is a violent and evil person. He wanted fire so he attacked them and took Piggy's glasses. He could have just asked for fire, Ralph would have given it to him, but he didn't. Jack doesn't seem like the kind of person to ask for help or some thing like that. Jack always has to be the most powerful.

Sincerely,
Simon
