Court Trial, Jacks Mom

Jacks Mom

By: Madeline

 

My name is Emily Merridew, or you may know me as Jacks mom. I was born in Ottawa, Canada, but my family didn’t live there my mom and dad was on vacation in Ottawa. We really lived in Baltimore, Ohio in a small house. Since we were already in Canada at the time we really only staid there for a month till they said we could take me on the plane. I am today 5foot 5’ and I have green eyes with red hair. I love to laugh and I LOVE rollercoaster’s. 

I can barely remember my childhood years, but I do remember one thing was that I really wanted to be a mom when I grew up. Pretty much every other part of my younger years was all a blur now. Now I am 38 and a single mom.

I can remember one thing in complete detail was when I first met Matt, Jacks dad. I can remember that like it was yesterday, we were walking on the collage campus and I had never seen him before. I was caring my books and I guess I was in some sort of hurry and when I turned the corner I ran right into him and all of my books and papers were all over the floor. And since then it has all just fallen into place. Matt is a navy officer and very dedicated to his work we sometimes wouldn’t see him for weeks at a time. Matt was Jacks best friend, they would play catch with him and just fool around together.

Tragically 2 weeks before the boys were going to leave to boarding school Matt died in war I guess they invaded where they were sleeping and he was killed in his sleep. For on whole week Jack was so mad he couldn’t even take it. The day I told him he went in his room and never came out until dinner and he was still mad. But after the first week I was wondering if he was going to be like this forever, but he finally was talking to me again and it was like Matt had never died.

Jack was born on a stormy day in Ohio. The first time I saw him I realized that my dream of being a mom has come true. He looked perfect no hair and so tiny, he was an angel. But one problem we had was his name Matt wanted to call him Matthew because it had his name in it, but that is just silly to name your son after your self. I fell in love with the name Jack the first time I heard it.

Jack was the center of my life everything he did was fantastic. He was a popular boy he had friends over quite often and not only one but, five at the least, and every single time not one of the boys were the same. Also all most twice a week he would ask me if he could go to a friends house and that was perfectly fine with me I like when he meets new friends.

When I heard that the boys weren’t at the boarding school and told me that the plane crashed some where but they had no idea where. I was shocked I couldn’t move my poor Jack was out there starving and wait… I didn’t even know if he was alive. If he was dead I would have to kill myself. I would have nobody in the house and my whole life revolved around Jack and Matt. I didn’t know what to do. I did know one thing and that was that I was just going to have to wait till I hear the news or until they find them.  I couldn’t think about anything but Jack. Was he ok? What was he doing? Where was he? Who was he with? Was he hungry? Were the questions I was asking myself over and over again.

I love Jack he is my life, but it is weird. Whenever he comes home he just goes into his room until dinner and then he will talk to me. But he is just in his room and I really wonder what he is doing? Also when his friends come over to our house they are all nice to me and then when Jack wont even really talk to me at all he will just lead them to his room. I guess that is how all boys act around their friends but it is still weird, because he usually like when I am around.

Besides being a full time mom I also own a coffee shop called Skybucks. I own the coffee shop and I only work after I drop off Jack at school and work until I pick him up for school. My life revolves around Jack and Matt. I would like it sometimes if someone else would help me clean or make dinner for us. They never help and they never say thanks, or thank you or something to make me feel appreciated.

Since I cant live without someone to cook or clean for I am working all of the shifts in Skybucks until I hear something about them.

Finally I heard something about the boys they were all in the hospital and right when I heard that I ran right out of my coffee shop and sprinted to the hospital. When I got there I ran to Jacks room and he was there sitting fine looking fine and had different colored paints all over his face. He was smiling at me, I ran to him and hugged him, he was all scratched up and his clothes were all torn up.

It felt like we talked for hours about that he was on an island and he was saving all of the boys from getting hurt. He also was the leader of all the boys and was the smartest, but he told me that Ralph killed Simon and that Roger killed Piggy. He is such a good boy setting good examples for all of them

In the end I am just glad that he is all right. But when I heard that they were taking him to court because he was responsible for the deaths of Simon and Piggy. He can leave me again I don’t know what I would do with out him. Well I hope the Jury can see that Jack is innocent.

Perspective: Piggy

 

That’s not Fair!!!!

 

         I can’t believe Jack! He is so mean to Ralph and to me but that can’t change because I am dead now hanging with Simon. He doesn’t care about anybody but himself, and all he wants to do is kill kill kill and he can’t even think about anything else. Before Jack made his own tribe everyone was peaceful with each other and we didn’t fight. But now we are all killing each other for NOTHING! All of the boys beside, Ralph, and Samneric were getting in a cordon to prevent them from going on to ‘their side of the island.’

            It was smart of Ralph to go and talk to Samneric and find out what was going on with stupid Jack and everything. Once he heard that they were going to kill him Ralph luckily found the most secretive hiding spot ever because he didn’t want to be killed. Ralph didn’t notice until now that his feet were distended and they really hurt him. I could tell that jack was going to try and diddle Ralph into coming out of his hiding spot but I new he was to smart to fall for it. And the boys had these stupid signals that they would ululation if they heard or thought they were close.

            After the boulders knocked Ralph right out of the hiding spot he jumped onto his feet and ran, he ran as fast as he could, until he tripped, and started crying, crying for his life. There was a man with a drill uniform and that had epaulettes on it. He rescued the boys and they lived happily ever after. 

           The End

You know that isn’t fair Jack got his life and I died! I was the good one not Jack, I can't believe it if Jack didn’t steal my glasses I wouldn’t of gotten hit by the rocks and I wouldn’t of fallen down. Its all Jacks fault, but I am glad in the end that Ralph lived.

Perspective: Simon

 

All Nonsense!!!!

 

I can’t believe all of this nonsense that is going on. Jack is acting like a complete fool and because he is taking control, over all of the boys. I think Ralph is doing a great job because he is living on this island he is surviving, unlike Jack that is doing the exact opposite. Then he just thinks he can take Piggy’s glasses all to himself and Ralph was even offering to shear the glasses with Jack. When I heard that Ralph wanted to go over to Jack and tell him to give Piggy’s glasses back I was delirious.  But I did think that they needed a talisman against Jack.

They went over and tried to face Jack I could see from where I was that they were going to cessation at the gate Jack and his tribe had made.  I can feel that Roger has power over them because he is much taller and he has the switch to control the rocks that come down off of the top of the mountain. They are talking for a while but I can’t quite hear what they are saying then all of a sudden Jack yells get them and the truculent boys grab Sam and Eric and tie them up so now they are on the floor.

Why would Jack want to do this they all came here together and now they are all falling apart, I mean I died all ready. I don’t want anyone else to die. Jack stabs Ralph takes off some of his skin. I see Piggy now hugging onto a rock because he cant see any thing and he afraid that someone is going to hurt him. Something happens and Roger pulls the lever that lets all of the rocks off of the mountain. One rock rolls right over the conch and it shatters into a million pieces. That is just great the only thing that is holding them together was the conch and now that it is gone there is nothing stopping Jack and his tribe.

Rocks are falling down and one hits piggy and he falls about 40 feet to a rock and his head is open blood pouring out. He is in the sea now Just like I am and I think he is in a better place then he was before. One wave comes by and Piggy’s dead body gets carried away and all you can see is fainted pink in the water.

Piggy is with me now, but I am really worried about Ralph he is all alone now nobody on his side because Samneric are trapped.  I really don’t know what Ralph is going to do but I know one thing is for sure that Ralph will make it off the island in one piece.

The Shell and The Glasses

 

Perspective: Jack

 

Steal it!!!!

 

            This is going great all of the boys are hearing what I say, they are all so stupid. I also feel so good because all of the boys on the island came to me not silly Ralph, with all of his rules and what not. All Ralph does is go on and on about the rules so illumination, and its so annoying. The boys and I found this one cave and that is where we are living right now I think it is better then Ralph’s stupid huts. It may be more purged over there but ours is more sturdy and is more homelike.

            This is probably the barmiest thing that has ever happened in my life. All of the boys are acting like I am a God and theological studying me. All of the boys are painted and have spears and look like real hunters. And I only have one rule on my island is that you need to obey me.

            I am really tired of going over to the other side of the island and stealing fire from Ralph, so I called a meeting and told everyone about my secret plan to steal Piggy’s glasses so we can start the fire our selves.  Roger, Maurice and I all went to their hut and stared whispering Piggy, come out Piggy.  Suddenly we all jumped in and I attacked Piggy I think it was too dark to tell. As soon as I found the glasses I sprinted out to Castle Rock and hoping nobody would ruin my perfect plan. I still don’t know how I am going to live on this island but I hope I make it off alive.

A View to a Death

 

Perspective: Ralph

 

The Death!!!!

 

            I can’t believe Jack thinks that he can start his own tribe, when he really cant and everyone is joining his tribe because there are no rules and without rules everything will fall apart. They think being on this island is all fun and games when it really isn’t, we are trying to survive not have fun.

            I have no choice I can’t live on fruit until we get rescued I need meat and I know jack has some. Piggy and I go over to Jacks Party and try and see if we can get some meat. When we got there I saw a big grass platform with a log in the middle where Jack was sitting. He was treated like a king sitting there boys giving him water and everything.

            Then Jack said give them meat and two boys rushed over to give Piggy and I a pretty decent chunk of meat. Piggy and I ate the meat and didn’t complain. All of the boys were on the grass area and singing, dancing and talking. I think it is time for me to say something so I say I want to call an assembly and Jack tries to tell me that the conch doesn’t work on this side of the island but I didn’t believe him.  All of a sudden it starts raining and Jack and the boys start chanting and Roger is in the middle of the circle pretending to be the pig. I start to join in and Piggy too. We all are chanting and running in a circle when something comes out of the forest and is crawling. It is yelling something but the boys circle around it and start stabbing it and it is screaming. Then I stop and realize that it isn’t a beast I don’t know what it is but it isn’t the beast it is to small. Finally the boys stop the thing is quite and I realize that the beast that the boys killed was Simon, all I could tell for his corpulent body was his hair and a lot of blood. Now I don’t know what we will do or if the phosphorescence sun will ever come back out.
