Perspective: Jack
This Sucks
How the heck was I supposed to know that after all these days that I kept the fire going, the one day I let it die out for a couple hours, a boat would come by. Who even says that the boat would see the fire? I think that if one boat cam by another one has to eventually. Who even knows who or what were even on those boats it could have been a bunch of cereal killers.
I feel like all of the hard work I put into hunting just to gain a little respect from people all went to waist because I let that stupid fire let out. I don't know what happened at that moment I just wasn't thinking and it was a mistake that I made. Heck we all make mistakes like this and it just makes me feel kind of bad that all of these people are mad at me. It seemed like when people are mad, every one's skin turns from kind of tan to having swarthiness in it. For a second, I was mad at myself for letting everyone down when I was supposed to pick them up. I understand that everyone was mad at me but they still ate the meat not once did they thank me for the work I put into getting that. Well a few people thanked me malevolently but the thank you was not truly sincere. I know that it wasn't all me it was also the hunters but everyone pinned it on me because I was the leader and didn't do my job. Now my thoughts of me being the perfect leader of all of the boys has gone down the drain. I used to think that I would have all the boys way more disciplined then Ralph when in reality we wouldn't have anything done and I would probably just have everyone hunting all day.
I feel so bad for what I did to Piggy. But of course no one could know that. He was only telling the truth and he was mad like everyone else. I showed to every one how much of a punk that I was I picked the weakest most quiet boy to pick on. If I really had guts I would have picked on Ralph. I had to pick the one that of course would not do anything back to me. I can't stand any of these boys so why did I pick Piggy? I wish that I could put on some balm that would erase all the wrong things that I have done. I feel so impalpable like every one thinks of me as belligerent and not seeing who I really am. They say that no man is an island but I sure do feel like one.

I like how you expressed Jacks feelings. I also like how you made up things from the information that you were given. I also like how you said that you feel sorry for Piggy but I don't really think that that would be something that Jack would say. Good Job :D
I love how you caught the readers attention at the beggining of the story. You really made me want to keep reading. Also, you were very in character. You could tell all the different feelings that your character was feeling and you also made the reader relate to him
Nice way to narrorate jack. I loved the description. but maybe your being a little easy on piggy. anyways nice job
