"Hunt for the Beastie"
Perspectives:Ralph


EVERYBODY ANSWER
• What is the game the boys play after spearing the pig? Who spears the pig? Describe the mood of the boys afterwards.
The boys were being Windy. The boys were playing a game were Robert was the pig and the other boys were being laughing sagely. The person who speared the pig was me. So I and the boys were being bravado.

• Jack suggests, “You could get someone to dress up as a pig and then he could act, you know, pretend to knock me over and all that.” Robert said that they need a real pig because it has to be killed. What does Jack suggest as a substitute? What does this foreshadow?
Jack says a littlun should be a substitute for a little pig. Also, Jack says this because he doesn’t even care about the littluns. He doesn’t talk to them with Impervious.This foreshadows that more people will die and we might encounter the beastie.

• What evidence did the boys find to prove that there is a beast? (Why are they so gullible?)
The evidence we found were the beastie was just a dead Aviator when Sam n Eric were really bravado. They said it had sharp claws and had wings.



IF YOU ARE RALPH
What did you daydream about home?
The daydream was about me back at my house thinking about my hair, hands, mouth, and more. On the island my mouth is weird and I can’t brush my teeth. My hair is really messy when I got on the island it was good. My hand or nail are really grouse because I can’t cut my nails and wash my hand good.
