Today was the weirdest day of my life. I just finished making my way through a jungle after I was in an airplane that was shot and crashed. It was storming, but now it's a little nicer outside, and me and my buddy Piggy were just discussing the fact that we are all children here on this island, and there are no adults!! Actually, it was then that I discovered that Piggy was a geek, and neither I nor anyone else really liked him. I was elected chief then and my first big decision was to sent children out to investigate whether or not they are really on an island. This kid named Jack seems pretty cool, him and I are the oldest, and therefore the two main leaders. But I am the King!.
Chapter 2:.
I decided that I should call another meeting. So I blew on the conch, and the littluns all came. It seems pretty fun being on this island so far, I"m sure enjoying it. But, I also had to take some charge. So I set out a few rules, and I really don't care if anyone else likes them or not. Everyone thinks that there is some sort of beast on the island. I"m really not sure if there is one or not, but I sure hope there isn't. But if there is, I will take care of it. After all, I am a man! I can get the job done! Piggy has made a few good points, but I really don't care what he has to say. Right now, I think that our only chance to get rescued is by fire. .
Chapter 3:.
Right now, Simon and I just got finished building a hut. I"m sick of being the only one around here who does everything. The littluns don't help at all. I think that building huts is way more important than hunting. But Jack sure doesn't think so. I also think that there should be a signal fire burning all of the time for the sake of getting rescued. .
Chapter 4:.
Earlier today when I was swimming in the bathing pool I saw some smoke in the horizon. I looked at the mountaintop, but the signal fire had gone out. When I went up there to see what was going on, the watchers weren't there like they were supposed to.
So far, Ralph, Jack and Roger saw the beast and scattered back to the group telling what they have just encountered. I found it funny when Jack, who first went up to the mountain and saw the beast, was horrified, explaining to Ralph and Roger what he had seen. Deep down, Jack is still just a child, ...
Simon Birch Journal Entry Simon Birch is a film about outsiders, friendship, and love and sacrifice revolving around the life of a diminutive twelve-year-old boy named Simon. It captures the answers to the questions studied in the course of English thus far during the short story "The Lady or the Tiger" and the novels A Separate Peace and Lord of the Flies. ... If Simon were in Lord of the Flies, he would have been like Ralph and Piggy, but he would have taught them that being an outsider could make someone a hero. ... That was the same case with Samneric in Lord of the Flies. ...
(Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy 1) Through her young life, Collins developed a love for writing. ... Much of her work is futuristic, while it is influenced by works from the past, such as The Lord of the Flies and some Greek mythology. ...
Poe's immediate influence was George Gordon and Lord Bryon, who he adapted wearing black clothing and melancholy subjects. ... Afterwards Poe move to Philadelphia and again to New York, where he edited Burlington Gentleman's Magazine, the Evening Mirror, and the Broadway Journal, and published most of his most celebrated stories. ... In stanzas seven and eight, the narrator opens the shutter and a raven flies onto the statue of Pallas Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom. ...
I find it ironic how just as Ralph is seemingly doomed at the end of the book, a naval officer appears before him and all his hope is restored. That was extremely lucky on his part also, to be able to crawl onto the beach and being in the right place at the right time. I know he was trying to figure out what a "sharpened stick at both ends" meant. I deciphered that the savages would eventually get to have those cannibalistic urges after reading about what they allowed themselves to do with Simon. Also, Jack really wants this boy dead when all Ralph wants to do is get rescued. ...
