Chapter 3:

Huts on the Beach

Perspective of Simon

My name is Simon and I'm 11 years old. I went to a English charter school. I'm also one of the biguns. I have black hair and I'm fared skin. Many people tell me that I'm a very thoughtful and kind person, and I fully agree. I'm also a very religious person for my age. I'm always meditating and it really works. In my opinion, I think that I'm the nicest one on this island.

In my opinion I think that it's important to have shelters for the littleuns. The reason why is because I feel that it's better to treat everyone equal. Even the littuns... actually especially the littuns. I mean, just not too many years ago they were toddlers. They are much more sensitive than us and we should give them more care. For instance, that littlun with with the mulberry birth mark got lost and we never found him again. That shows that they need more supervision and care.

Not long ago I was super thirsty( I felt that I was about to die) and and I really needed something to drink. My lips were chap and my mouth was dry as sand. I also felt like I was about to faint ( for the 3rd time). I didn't though, luckily I found this one lake and I drank some water. It felt great to drink that water, it was cold as ice and the water was very clean. My mouth and lips were finally back to normal. Also very fortunately I didn't want to faint. So, in my opinion I think that water is the most important part in survival. Without water, (even for a day) we will not be able to live. Daily, I drink about 4-5 coconut bowls of water.

I'm a very positive individual. I think that we would be saved on this island very soon. The reason why I think that is because we have the signal fire and the fire is a great way to call for rescue. Also positive things happen to positive people, like me.

There is thins one particular place on the island that I really like. Also it's my hiding place too. This place is just gorgeous. The sun really hits it, there's grass and creepers everywhere, and there's flowers scattered all over the place like carpet. My favorite part of this secret place is the hiding place. It's under a bunch of creepers, there's a secret door, and it covers this big hole. I really love the secret hiding place, but I hope no one would find it.
