Stalking more silently than a hunter,
Making a kill more regularly than Jack,
Though it hunts more than pigs,
Preys on the choir,
Grabs them with icy, needle sharp claws,
Long black fur hides it's face,
Where red eyes gleam,
Captured the littluns,
Moves through the trees with out a sound,
Crouches on the mountain,
Comes in the night,
When all is dark and the littluns whimper at the sight,
Attacked solitary Simon,
Disguised as the Lord,
Though he and Ralph broke free from the toils,
And ran to stay that way,
Steers clear of Piggy,
Followed Jack who made it his weapon,
More deadly than a spear,
What is this,
It is fear.

Shadows
Dancing in the evening air,
Caressing backs burdened with care,
Touching the hunters coming from the wood,
These shadows touch all, like good shadows should,
The boys on the island so dark and green,
The shadows touch even what to them is unseen,
The boy behind the curtain of vines,
He with the shadows sees the signs,
A collapse and the future fight,
A fight against the darkness and a fight for what's right,
Sees the glasses stolen from the true,
Evil on this island is something new,
The blameless's blood spilled on the floor,
And the reaper is knocking on the quiet boy's door.

Dance
The storm breaks over the island,
Thunder crashes,
Lightening falls like divine judgment,
The parachutist trembles on the mountain top,
Finally resting on the ground,
Simon crawls to tell the world,
The boys dance in sickening gyration,
Spears and claws,
Teeth flashing,
He emerges,
Shouting to be heard over the savage hiss of the fire,
The patter of the rain,
The boom of the thunder,
They turn and attack,
He struggles,
Fights,
But fails,
Tries to break free,
But is engulfed,
And the waves carry him and the parachutist away,
To rest at the bottom of the stormy,
Rolling ocean.

End
Lower the curtain of vines down,
Throw the skull into the seas,
Build up a funeral pyre on the mountain,
Let Simon drift in the waves,
Piggy sinks and lays on the bottom,
Lay his glasses on the mountain,
Where he tried so hard,
To keep the fire burning,
Raise a monument to the hunters,
And the fallen sow,
Lay Roger in a grave in the pig run,
While Ralph sails away,
Remembering the past,
And going on,
Past the Island's end.

Blog 12- Trial Preparation
For the trial of Jack Merridew I am playing the role of Maurice. Described as being "Second in height to Jack" among the Hunters, Maurice is one of the older boys.
Chapter 1 and 2: I arrive with Jack and the others and am one of 12 boys to vote for him as chief. I race up the mountain after Jack and try to build the fire.
Chapter 3 and 4: I go hunting with Jack but am sent back by him. I go back and play in the lagoon. I, along with fellow hunter, Roger, knock over the littluns' sand castles. I then wander off. I go hunting in the ring and am one of the ones to help catch and kill the pig. We come back and are confronted by Ralph. We cook the meat and eat it.
Chapter 5: I go to the meeting called by Ralph. He complains about our lack of order. Jack leaves and we all follow. Only Simon, Ralph and Piggy remain.
Chapter 6 and 7: Since we are scared of the beast we go out on a hunt for it. Ralph comes along this time. We play the pig game and it gets out of control. We go on. Jack and Ralph go ahead. We then follow and only grudgingly obey. We wait while Jack, Ralph and Roger go on. They rush down afraid.
Chapter 8 and 9: Jack calls a meeting that we all attend. When he is not voted to replace Ralph he goes off on him own. I later follow. He proclaims himself the new chief. We go hunting and kill a pig in a glade. Then Jack, Roger and Robert go and announce our party to the others. In this chapter the party occurs. The thunder and lightening begin after Piggy and Ralph arrive. We do our dance on the beach. Simon crawls out and we think he is the beast. We attack him. Something blows down past us into the ocean and we are terrified. WIth Roger and Jack I mount a surprise attck on the camp consisting of Ralph, Piggy and Samneric. We steal Piggy's glasses.
Chapter 10 and 11: The others come to our camp while Jack is out hunting. After confrontation Roger rolls a boulder down that kills Piggy. Samneric are tied up and made to join us. We go hunting for Ralph. We light a fire to flush him out of a thicket and light the whole island on fire. A ship appears and rescues us. Ralph says he is the leader. Jack tries to protect Roger and the rest of us and stays quiet. If he had spoken then Roger would have been in trouble. We leave with the officer.
His mentality during the trial is that Jack was his hero.
