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.

Symbolism:
Braces= struggle

How to Make a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich

If you are craving to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwich right now, here is how you make one. First, you take out the the bread. It can be any kind bread you prefer. Second, you get the jelly, and it can be any flavor you want. Then you get the peanut butter, and some people prefer the crunchy peanut butter with the peanuts in it and others just like the plain peanut butter. You can use a knife or a spoon to spread the peanut butter and jelly. Then use the knife or spoon to spread the peanut butter on on one slice of bread and do the same with the jelly on another slice of bread. Finally, you slap the two slices of bread together and you have a delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

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.
