Lord Of The Flies-Chapter 12 Cry of The Hunters
“End of Innocence”
Perspective: Ralph

Dear Journal,

Today was horrible. I could’ve been killed! I went to Castle Rock only to find out that Samneric were forced to join Jack’s tribe! They sent me away with a piece of meat, and I told them that I’ll hide in the nearby thickets. They decided they give me hints by ululations. It seemed like one of the twins was in trouble. They were being tortured and I could hear their screams. They found out where I was by torturing Sam or Eric. Knowing that it would be too hard to crawl through the thicket, they shoved rocks off Castle Rock. The rocks bounded, and I knew that I would die if I didn’t run. I thought running was good, but then changed my mind thinking they might want me to reveal myself through running out. I ran out after stabbing one of the savages. I don’t know if I killed him, but I had to run. They also tried smoking me out with fire, then I had to run again. I had to diddle them because their cordon of savages was going throughout the jungle hunting for me. Fortunately for me, I was saved. I saw the white drill and the shiny epaulettes on his shoulders. I saw distended bellies of kids behind me, and I was saved. I wept though, because I realized, I was no longer an innocent kid. We all revealed our dark side.
