Symbolism

I finally got my braces off this week. I had to wait two years of dealing with the braces. Every time I went to the orthodontist, I felt pain. The pain lasted for almost a week each time I went to the orthodontist. I had to deal with getting food out from in between my braces every time I brushed my teeth. 

Once I got my braces off I was so relieved that I didn't have to deal with pain or getting food out from in between my braces. But, then my orthodontist said that he had to put spacers in to close up a gap between some of my teeth. I also have to get a retainer, so now I have to deal with more metal in my mouth. It seems that I can never escape this struggle of braces.

Braces= struggle

Critical Scene

On page 127, Jack says, "I'm going off by myself. He can catch his own pigs. Anyone who wants to come hunt when I hunt can come too." This is important to the story, because it is what starts the splitting up of the group of boys. When Jack says, "I'm going off by myself," he is disagrees with Ralph's rules. This can represent society splitting up and how poor the leadership is.

When Jack says, "He can catch his own pigs," he is referring to Ralph. Although, Ralph isn't as focused on hunting, because he is more concerned about building a fire for smoke and being rescued. Then Jack says, "Anyone who wants to come hunt when I hunt can come too." This grabs most of the biguns' attention, because eventually most of them become savages. This splitting up of the group boys shows that they don't really know how to decide on what to do and that they don't know how to make the group organized into different jobs.

Saturday was my last day of driver's education from 8:00 to 3:00. I had to take the test and I was ready to get it over with. The man teaching the class said we would take the test at 2:45, so I had to wait a while till I could take the test. Luckily, the teacher gave us a few breaks. We also had a 30 minute lunch break around 12:30. 

This was probably the most boring class I have ever taken. The teacher talked super slow and told us tons of stories. When it was finally time to take the test, I was relieved, because I knew that the test was going to be extremely easy and that I would be done with taking the class. The first question on the test was probably the hardest question fro me, but the rest of the test was a breeze. It took me less than ten minutes to take it.

Prompt

Prompt: What is your favorite holiday or break and why?

My favorite holiday is Christmas, because it is a relaxing break from school and it is a time to be with my family. It is nice to get a two week break from school and not have to worry about doing any work. Usually over the Christmas holiday, I will go up to my camp with my family. I love to go up to my camp during the holiday when it has cooled down significantly, and I get to enjoy nature. One of my favorite things to do when it is cold at my camp is to sit by the fire, especially after going hunting in the morning.

Christmas isn't just a time of having fun or relaxing, it is also a time of celebrating. Every year on Christmas Eve, my family and I go to a church service to celebrate Jesus' birth. After the service we go to my grandparents' house and eat dinner with the whole family. Every year my grandparent's would make gumbo on Christmas Eve. After dinner we do a gift exchange with many funny gifts. This is my favorite tradition, so I hope it never goes away and that my family will continue doing it.

Response to LOTF

The world, that understandable and lawful world, was slipping away.  Once there was this and that; and now--and the ship had gone. [... Jack refusing to give Piggy the floor when he has the conch...]
"The rules!" shouted Ralph.  "You're breaking the rules!"
"Who cares?"
Ralph summoned his wits.
"Because the rules are the only thing we've got!"
But Jack was shouting against him.
"Bollocks to the rules!  We're strong--we hunt!  If there's a beast, we'll hunt it down!  We'll close in and beat and beat and beat--!" (91)


The beginning of this passage is talking about how time is passing and how the boys are becoming further away from society. This is important because as time goes on the boys seem to forget more about society except for Ralph. Throughout this passage Ralph, as the chief, is having trouble keeping organization within the boys. Jack is Ralph's biggest problem when trying to keep the group of boys together and organized. All Jack wants to do is hunt pigs for food, but Ralph is more worried about getting rescued.

This passage is important to the story, because Jack and Ralph's ideas of surviving on the island are completely different. This is what leads the two boys to split up later in the novel. With Ralph and Jack splitting up, the littluns have trouble choosing who's side to take. If the littluns go with Jack, they will be fed with meat and have fu. If they go with Ralph they will have to work to hopefully be rescued.
