Simon

I wanted us to be rescued. To be civil while we wait, but I knew it won't stay that way when I saw the beasts emerge from their dens. All was well in the beginning. Ralph was in charge and chief, but that also didn't tarry. I saw the littluns struggling to reach the fruits hanging from the high branches, so I helped them. When I walked in to the depth of the forest, the creepers had woven a mat that hung at the side of an open space. I found a thick jungle glade; full of beautiful flowers, birds, and butterflies. I sat down after I made sure that I was alone. Looking around, astonished by the abundance and beauty of life that is surrounding me. I had wished I could stay longer.

 After Sam and Eric reiterate their claim of seeing the beast, we armed ourselves with wooden spears and set out into the mountains. Only Piggy and the littluns were left behind. I volunteered to go back and tell Piggy and the littluns that the group won't be back until late at night. Then, I went back to the clearing, but instead of seeing the beautiful nature, I found the sow's head impaled on a stake in the middle. It spoke to me. Its mouth moved and spoke. He said I couldn't escape him even if I try, for he lies within all human being. It also promised that he will have "fun" with me. I was aghast and everything went black. The air was dark and humid when I woke up. Looks like there's a storm coming. Climbing up a hill, I saw the thing that the other has mistaken as a beast. It was just a dead pilot still attached to the parachute. My stomach failed me and bile came out of my mouth. I took the parachute, desperate to prove the others about what they thought was a beast. When I have arrived to tell the boys, they started calling me the beast. ME! But I wasn't. I tried to tell them that it was me and about the dead pilot. But they couldn't hear me through their wild state and started tearing me apart with their bare hands. Even Ralph and Piggy are involve; screamed, struck, bit, and tore me. Now I understood what the pig meant.

Getting to Know You

My mother immigrated here, to Canada, when I was only 6. At a young age, I understood why my mother left; she needed to work for me. Being middle class wasn't enough to succeed in the Philippines, and for that she flew to Canada. My mother became the pedestal of my dad and i's life.

After 4 years of waiting, my dad and I can finally move to Canada. My parents have 2-3 jobs from the beginning till now. This is what my parents do everyday to keep a roof above our heads. They never really finished college since the tuition is like buying a Ferari. No parents wants their children to struggle in the future, that is why my parents want me to work and study hard. They always tell me that if I want something, I need to work hard for it. My parents do not want me to repeat what they did and have to work 2 jobs. I know I am not the smartest person and this worries me and often leave me wondering, "where would I be in 5-10 years later?"

Honestly, no one know what tomorrow or 10 years from now would be like. I, for one, would love to travel the countries I dream to visit. My goal is to finish university and have a stable job. Even though birth scares me, I would like to have 2 children maximum and a relationship like my parents. I will always be appreciative of my mother for shaping the way I am now and in the future.

About Me

Contreras

I am outgoing and supportive person. I am the person who just goes with the flow. I would say I am a supportive person, but if a person I know is heading the wrong direction, I would say my opinion for them to consider. Music is one of my passion. Music certainly affect my emotions, it can make me go to cloud 9 and it can also make me feel down. I love reading stories, and I've came across amazing young adult authors on Wattpad that I think should be recognize.

My goals for English 11

  • To write like the young authors that I came across. 
  • To improve my grammar more 
  • To expand my learning in the language of English and vocabulary
