Chapter 1- Piggy's POV
I crash land on a deserted island, I don't know where I am, I'm hungry. I start looking around for any signs of other life. Coming out of the woods I see a fair haired boy, skinnier then me. I realize this is my chance to be a new person, he doesn't know me, I can be who ever I want, no more Piggy. I ask for his name and he responses with Ralph. I wait for him to retort with the same question but it never happens. We start walking down the beach looking for any type of wreckage or any other people, all I can think about is a way for Ralph to ask me my name. I phrase it in an awkward way as to try and tell him that i DO NOT want to be called Piggy, it backfires. I will now be known as Piggy to everyone on the island. During our walk on the beach I spot a cream colored shell that I remember harvesting with my auntie. I tell Ralph thats its a conch shell and can be used to produce sound like a trumpet. This draws attention to use and soon other kids start coming out of the thick jungle. The final group to comes marching out of the jungle like a war battalion. The leader immediately starts making fun of my appearance and weight. I don't understand how he could do this, he doesn't even know me. I have a bad feeling about this boy. Ralph and the bully known as Jack start discussing how someone should lead the group. Jack's little drummer boy group votes for him to be the leader, but the others and I nominated Ralph. We outnumbered them and Ralph wins the election. Ralph begins his leadership by appointing kids to the exploration team. I desperately wanted to be picked for the team and pleaded with Ralph, but he told me to stay back with the others and "take names", I eye rolled at that. Maybe next time I'll get picked but for now I have babysitting.
Until next Time,
-Piggy
