Day 1- Well‚ we are lost on this island. After we came to‚ there was a noise. What a noise it was‚ it was like the horn of a ship: “ a deep harsh note boomed under the palms” (Golding 17). The sound was from a conch shell‚ blown by a boy named Ralph trying to call all of the boys marooned on the island to a meeting. I led my choir to the meeting. We voted on a leader. There is no doubt in my mind that I would be the best leader‚ but the group elected Ralph. Something about him really makes my blood
