I just like to be nice
Simon's Journal
After we found out that the little boy with the birthmark on his face died I decided to wonder in the woods alone. I saw the "littluns" in the woods it looked like they needed help so I helped one of them get fruit from the tree because we all have been hungry ever since we landed on this island by ourselves. When I went back from the woods Jack and Ralph were arguing because there were no hunters or anyone around to watch the fire and because there was ship passing by and they didn't even think to keep the fire going so the people on the ship can see them. Then Ralph started to yell at the top of his lungs, "Come Back, Come Back, please come back" but no one could here him except for us. Ralph started to cry and got even more furious at Jack because he let the fire go out. I found out that Jack went crazy because he didn't have any food and he found a pig and killed it. When he was killing it he was so happy to actually see some food and ate the pig raw. I really don't like it here all I do is sit around and watch the littluns. I wish that there was something that I could do to keep myself occupied.

Jessica,
I really liked your title because it bluntly told the way Simon is. It shows that there may not be a purpose behind his actions, but that perhaps he is the only genuine hearted boy on the island. He remains one that is still uninfluenced by the trials and tribulations. I thought that the part when Ralph was calling out for the ship held a lot of emotion. The way you stated only the boys could here him really painted a picture in my head. Lastly, I liked how you said that Simon just did not like being stuck on the island. He rarely speaks his mind, so showing inside his thoughts helped me to better understand the character. :]
