The Lord Of The Flies Narrative Essay

Improved Essays
It was a warm, sunny day when Matt and his sister, Lily, moved into their new house by the ocean. Matt and Lily placed their boxes in their new bedrooms and went out to explore the beach.
They found several seashells and made a sandcastle together. When Matt looked out towards the water, he thought how much fun it would be to go scuba diving. Together, they rushed back to the house and got their scuba diving equipment.
As Matt tried to put his bag on his back, he hit the bookshelf by accident, and a few books fell down. Suddenly, one of the books began to glow. Surprised and curious, Lily and Matt opened the book and flipped through the pages.

Something had broken their boat from underneath. They panicked, and Lily screamed when a giant octopus catapulted out from the water. Assuming that it was Shadow Horn, they jumped out of the boat to swim away. But they could not go far, as the creature grabbed both of them by the legs and dragged them to an underwater cavern.
The creature took them to its cave, but let them keep their gear on, allowing them to breathe. Looking more closely, it didn't look like an octopus. Its eyes were green like seaweed and its body looked like a huge, black shark.

It looked like a huge octopus. It was so close to Matt and Lily now that they could smell the stench of onions creeping into their snorkels.
Suddenly, Shadow Horn came towards them and slammed itself against the octopus. The octopus gradually sank down to the bottom of the ocean. Shadow Horn had saved Matt and Lily. They now realized that Shadow Horn was not a monster. It was a hero.

    The Pacific Northwest tree octopus (Octopus paxarbolis) can be found in the temperate rainforests of the Olympic Peninsula on the west coast of North America. Their habitat lies on the Eastern side of the Olympic mountain range, adjacent to Hood Canal. These solitary cephalopods reach an average size (measured from arm-tip to mantle-tip,) of 30-33 cm. Unlike most other cephalopods, tree octopuses are amphibious, spending only their early life and the period of their mating season in their ancestral aquatic environment. Because of the moistness of the rainforests and specialized skin adaptations, they are able to keep from becoming desiccated for prolonged periods of time, but given the chance they would prefer resting in pooled water.…
