Lord of the Flies, Part 2
The Rescue
I'm Ralph. I was just sitting there crying,
looking at the officer and then at Jack. Jack and the others stood
with a look like they didn't know what was going on. Other military
men started coming to shore as the officer stood there dazed and
confused. At last the man asked how the fire had started and why we
were acting like a bunch of savages. The other men were shocked too
when they got to the officer standing next to us. I
froze and couldn't say a thing. The ship was hove to
outside the reef of the island. The officer then asked how many of us
boys were here? We didn't say anything but when I
looked at Jack he seemed to be a little scared and
confused.
The men put us on board their small landing craft
to take us to their ship after they put out the fire. When we got
aboard the ship the officer who seemed like he was the captain
questioned us. We told them our names and what had happened to us.
But we didn't tell them about Piggy and Simon. For a while I didn't
know how to act since we were around civilized grown-ups. Jack had
calmed down a bit but Roger was still acting like a savage beast.I really didn't
keep track of the little ones but they looked like they'd gone into a state
of shock. One moment
they had been running around like hooligans and the next moment they
were with civilized people. It was all too fast for them to
understand.
It took us a couple of weeks to get to an English
army base somewhere in Africa. On the way we took hot relaxing baths
and were given fresh new clothes and a hair cut. Two days later we
were on an airplane back to England.
When we got to London, my parents were at the
airport to greet me. They were so happy to see that I was alive and
doing well. Most of the other kids' parents were there to greet them
too. From London my parents and I drove out to Dover. It felt great
to be home, but at the same time it felt odd, like I didn't really
belong here any more, like I belonged more back on the island. My dad
said that I would be finishing off the
school year at my present school, then next year I
would transfer to another school. My dad still had to fight in the
war that was going on, but I wanted him to stay with us.
"What if we lost you?" I asked.
"Don't worry, the war with Germany is drawing to
an end," he replied.
True, the war with Germany was nearly over but I
heard that another war between America and Japan had just started up.
Time passed slowly for me, even though school was coming to an end.
Then the school board made a new policy that during the war students
could not travel.
Being stranded on that island changed my life
forever. I kept in tough with the boys who were on the island with
me. Jack would never be the same again. It was like he had been brain
washed. It seemed like he was the quiet type now and he didn't want
to talk about his problems with anyone. I guess killing Piggy and
Simon changed his ways.
After school was out for the first year I mostly
stayed in Dover and hung around with my friends. But I still kept in
touch with the little ones and Jack. I didn't talk to Roger much
because he had killed Piggy right in front of me and I couldn't
forgive him for that. Jack and the others were doing good. Last I
heard, Jack was going to a boarding school somewhere in America. The
little ones attended the same school I did and Roger went to a public
school where he lived.
After my first year in high school the war ended
and my dad came home. I still attended the boarding school because
there was a lot more discipline and the quality of the education was
better. I guess the reason for Jack going to school in America was
because the police found out that Simon and Piggy had been killed.
Jack and Roger had a choice between the charge of manslaughter or
attending a boarding school out of the country. Jack chose America
and Roger chose to stay in England and face the charges. He only got
probation and served no time.
Throughout my high school years I kept in touch
with Jack. We discussed our mutual problem, and I began to trust him
again. We were open to each other but didn't discuss our problem with
anyone else, except my parents, that is. Jack said he was doing great
in school, and that he was one of the top students. As for me I was
an A student and got a scholarship to go to a fine college. Jack also
got a scholarship to go to one of America's finest
universities.
At college I studied to become a professor of
history and math. Jack and I still communicated, and he said he was
going to become a lawyer because of what had happened on the island.
After graduating I got married and had two children of my own. To
this day Roger leads a life of crime. Just last year he killed
someone and was put away for life.
