LOTF Response

     While reading Lord of the Flies, I have noticed patterns, character development, and multiple questions. One pattern I have noticed is how throughout the whole books the boys start to lose civilization and order. It starts off with Jack and his urge to kill pigs and nothing else, and then all the other boys follow along and take place in weird rituals. Some character development is with Ralph and his leadership. At the beginning of the book, Ralph was not a great leader but know he is and is leading the boys and making sure everything is running smoothly.

    Some questions that have arrived throughout the book for me is What is Piggy and Ralph's relationship like and Who is the Lord of the Flies. I think Ralph and Piggy's relationship is complicated because they are friends at the beginning, then Jack comes and persuades Ralph to be mean to Piggy, and once Jack leaves they get to become friends again. So I think Ralph and Piggy are like the friends who never get along and always argue. I figured out the Lord of the Flies is a pig head on a stick who Simon thinks is talking to him. I think the Lord of the Flies has a bigger meaning in that it is the evil inside of us and that no one can beat.

He took off his glasses and blinked at them.  The sun had gone as if the light had been turned off. [...] "Life," said Piggy expansively, "is scientific, that's what it is.  In a year or two when the war's over they'll be traveling to Mars and back.  I know there isn't no beast--not wit...

Strengths and Challenges

     One of my strengths is that I can make personal connections within my writing. This strength helped me in my personal narrative and connect my life. Another strength of mine is being able to write short response to a topic. This strength helps me in other classes besides English because I use this strength in history.       One of my challenges is that I am awful with grammar. I tried to fix this challenge over the year and it improved a little bit, but I still had to practice on it and use Grammarly a lot. Another challenge of mine was researching a topic then writing about it. I really had trouble with the research project because of this challenge
