My Journal Entry for Chapter 1:
Three details of the story:
- A plane, full of boys crashed onto what we discover is an island.
- On of the boys, Ralph is a boy a bit on the wild side. He becomes the leader of the group. "Piggy" is a chubby boy with asthma. Jack is the leader of a choir of boys.
-In this first chapter they are trying to become aware of their surroundings.
Two events I found interesting:
-I found it interesting how the boys stay calm. They seem not to know the danger that they are in.
-You can tell that they are intelligent. The boys realized their need for a leader and a plan. They took the right first step in going on a scouting mission.
One question I would ask one of the characters:
-I would like to ask all of the boys why they were together, on an airplane, and what caused that plane to crash. I would probably ask Simon, for he seems like he is honest.

My Journal Entry for Chapter 2:
Three details of the story:
-The boys decided to make rules. They decided that while they are on the island, they will have fun and be rescued.
-The boys make a fire, a huge fire.
-That fire burns down some of the island.
Two events I found interesting:
-The boys get out of control when they do not follow the rule of the conch.
-Everyone is ignoring Piggy. He is the one with the common sense. They need to think about their survival before their rescue.
One question I would ask one of the characters:
-I would ask Piggy, "How does it make you feel to have everyone ignore you? What could they be doing differently to have a better chance of survival?"
