Chapter 5: beast from water
perspective: Simon

Fear

Fear, its not something you can describe but its something that most people feel. I know everyone felt fear today at the meeting. Fear for Ralph, fear of the beastie and most of all fear of each other. Fear isn't an incantation, its something you bring on your self. Fear is the sound you cant explain the feeling of cold that you cant describe.
The sounds of children's lamentation still scares me. To hear that much pain put in one sound,i cant describe it. I feel so bad for them. They are still young and before now unafraid and curios. Now they know how cruel human beings can truly be. The eggigy of fear was almost overwhelming today. The ludicrous behavior of jack was unacceptable. The jeering way he treated piggy was horrible. I couldn't stand it. But that is not the point. This needs to stop it needs to end. I cant keep living in a world without rules without decorum.

Wow, very well written, very discriptive. I was taken by the fear I saw in Simon. Very good job.
