Due October 1st by 9PM

Who you are:

1: Ralph

2: Jack

3: Simon

4: Piggy

Summary: Simon awakes from his sleep after his conversation with his evil side, which came in the form of the Lord of the Flies. He has dried blood all over his body after being bitten from the flies. He leaves and sees the dead parachutist from a far, unafraid unlike the others, he goes right up to the dead body. Simon discovers that what everybody thought was the beast, was just a dead parachutist. He plans to go back to camp and let everyone know .

-Piggy convinces Ralph to attend Jack's feast at the other end of the island for some meat. When they go, they see that Jack is being treated by the rest of the boys as a type of idol. Jack orders a few hunters to give Piggy and Ralph some meat and they eat.

-Ralph attmepts to have an assembly, but no one listens. He tries to tell them that it's important to try to get rescued and they need Jack and the hunters help to keep the fire going. He is laughed at and made fun of by Jack and the hunters.

-It begins to rain furiously, Jack orders the group to do their ritual dance. They encircle Roger and pretend he's the pig. They are shouting their chant as it rains down on them.

-Simon crawls on all four as his legs gave out on him and comes to the middle of the circle. Simon tries to tell them about the dead body and that he's not the beast. He can't be heard b/c the boys are so loud with their chant, the rain is so loud, and they are in the evil trance. The boys mistake him for the beast and begin poking, grabbing, and eventually killing him. During the killing the boys became animal/beast like not saying anything, but just clawing at Simon.

-Finally, they all back away and see that it wasn't a beast and it was only Simon. At the sametime, the parachutist falls from the mountain top with his parachute and flies on top of the boys as the wind drops the dead body in the sea.

-Once again, Simon wise words were ignored, he was the only boy who saw things as they really were.
