Lord of the Flies - Chapter 7

This chapter was a little more confusing than the last few. The part when Robert got circled from all the other boys was the most confusing to me. I had to read it over to get it. I found it weird how Ralph was trying to get near Robert and the book said "The desire to squeeze and hurt was over-mastering." It makes me wonder if that has any significance with something else in the book. Maybe he might overdo something and hurt someone. I also wonder what is going to happen when they find out that it isnt the beast but a man. Where will the plot go from there.

Lord of the Flies - Chapter 6

This chapter got a bit more interesting than the other. The kids that were keeping the fire lit thought they saw some flying beast. Their minds were just playing tricks with them but they're too young to understand. When they went to find the beast it wasnt there and they all forget about the beast and start making a fort. Nothing gets acomplished on the island. I hope the story gets a little more entertaining becasue this is the most boring book ive read so far.

Lord Of The Flies - Chapter 5

This chapter was very boring. All the chapter Ralph just talked about the things that needed to be changed like the shelters, getting things done, and keeping the water clean. The assemblies in my mind are very stupid and worthless. They never get anything accomplished and it always breaks out into an arguement. They start talking about the beast and they keep making things up just to scare themselves. They come to a conclusion thats its in the water. I think they should forget about the beast and worry about more important things such as the fire and shelter.

Lord of the Flies - Chapter 4

Jack finally got a pig but at great cost. They could of got rescued which was more important than some meat. Ralph really got mad this time and Jack still didnt get it. Jack shouldn't be the leader of his choir people. He should be just one of the followers. I felt so bad when he hit Piggy and broke his glasses. Piggy was right and Jack was in no position to hit him. I guess on the island the strongest will lead and the weakest will always be ignored.

Lord of the Flies - Chapter 3

The book make full sense to me now. I am starting to hate Jack becasue of his personality. All he wants to do is hunt instead of getting much more inportant things done like making shelter. Ralph and Simon are the only two that are smart enough to build shelter rather than playing and hunting. I wonder what Simon does when he goes off into the forest. Maybe he has food but dosent want to share it with the others. I also wonder if Jack will ever get a pig for the people like he promised.

Lord of the Flies - Chapter 2

The story is making more sense as I read on. The characters are developing much more and you get a real sense of how they think and do. Jack is the hunter and he wants to do is hunt. They should be getting shelter ready for a storm. He talks about getting meat and bacon for everyone on the island but he couldn't get a pig. He seems like a do now think later person. Ralph is the opposite though. Thats what makes him a good leader. I like Piggy the most though and I think he should of been leader but becasue of his looks no one listens to him but he is the smartest. Hopefully they will start listening to Piggy later on in the book.

Why 'Do Good'

People usally do the right thing becasue there might be a reward in it for them or they do the right thing to obey the law. I agree with William Golding's quote that without reward, society, or law people would do the bad or wrong thing.

Bullying

Bullying usally comes from a bigger, tougher kid, who comes from a bad home. They might have been abused and have a relative who is an alcoholic or addicted to drugs. It still happens becasue the bullies are getting away with what they do becasue there parents dont care. Male bullying and female bullying are usally two different things entirely. Male bullying is more physical and female bullying is more verbal and emotional.

Lord of the Flies 1-25

I did not like the book so far. It seems like a slow beginning and a very boring one too. I was very confused for the first 15 pages. It made very little sense to me and when you dont know whats happening in a book I dont think your going to like it. I hope this book does pick up soon and a little sort of government forms. It would be very interesting if that happened and what sort of government they would have. I wonder if all of them are going to be able to live and set up shelter and how they are going to hunt for food. So far the book isnt good but has alot of potential to get better.

For my memoir event I choose when my sister got a new puppy. It turns out that puppy taught me a lesson about myself.

#1 Grade 9 English

One abiding memory from Grade 9 english was the plays from Much Ado About Nothing. Everyone dreaded it but it was fun during the play.
