Lord of the Flies Jada

Dear Diary,             I have just landed on this strange island along with a few other boys. The only sign of human life on this island so far is just a group of boys, the oldest being 12. I am not sure how to feel about an adult not being present on the island with us. The first boy I ran into here on the island is a fair-haired boy named Ralph.
