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.

Katie: If you were the ruler on a deserted island, what would be the first plans to put into action? Why?

     If I was a ruler on a deserted island the first plan I would put into action would be who would be the people in charge of certain things. The different positions there would be is vice-ruler, head of hunting/fishing, head of shelter, head of explorers, and head of escape/rescue. The traits the vice-ruler  is that they must be a leader, an idea of my beliefs of running the island, and have some type of leadership before he/she got stranded. The traits of the head of hunting/fishing is that they must have hunted and fished before, a skilled craftsmen to build weapons and fishing rods, and have leadership traits. The traits of the head of shelter is that they must be a skilled craftsmen so that they can build the shelter and some type of work in construction in their life before being stranded.

Story in the Summer Week Two

I was at my house with my friend Ben. Ben and I decided to go outside and play basketball. We decided to play horse. It was a close game but I beat Ben in the game even though Ben is a lot better then me at basketball. Ben was really angry because I won by making a shot that I probably I would never make again.  Ben and I then decided to play a one on one game to twenty-one. I went up twelve to four then Ben started to make a comeback and had the game within four points. I then hit a three in which put me up on Ben fifteen to eight. I eventually one the game twenty-one to seventeen. I was happy because I usually never beat Ben in basketball because he has played it a lot longer then I did.

Hit and Misses

     I feel like this English year went well for me. I did have some misses with the hits. So one miss I felt I had this year was the literary analysis on Lord of the Flies. I felt like the literary analysis was a miss for me because I was awful at the literary analysis, I really just found the analysis hard and confusing to me. Another miss for me was the research paper. I found the research paper to be awful because it took up all my time for homework and it was hard to do work in other classes.      I had some hits this year. I felt the personal narrative to be a hit of mine because it was a easy paper for me to write because it was based on something personal to me not, something I researched or read. Another hit for me this year where the blogs because I found them to be an easy way to twenty points and a way to improve my writing.
