help MIDTERMS

     I understand most of the things that we have learned so far. All of the Literary Analyzes stuff is burned into the side of my brain. And the  short stories that we read for class, we reviewed them so much I think I might die. We also just did he Thesis work and where no done so I think I can handle that.
     One thing that I defiantly need to go over is the summer reading. I remember In Defense of Food, but I don't know Nation as well. The other thing we are currently doing already. The Lord of the Flies, I keep getting lost of confused and I am not absorbing 100% of the information. That's okay though because we are discussing it in class witch helps.

reading

     The week before Thanks giving break, reading lord of the flies consumed my life. I was having to read over things on multiple occasions and spending time that I barley had in the first place. Some of the main things hat a have noticed is that Jack is a total jerk and gets really annoying really quickly, and Simon seems to be smarted and better than everyone else (would be a better leader) but does not say anything because he is also humble.
     Then,  Piggy is a total wimp without the conch and when he has it he speaks his mind and feels like whatever he says is right and does not have consequences. Lastly,   Ralph seems like he is not use to being in charge, he does not really know what he is doing and it feels like he is just going off a T.V. show.Some questions that I have relate to all the symbols. Why does Jack keep pushing piggy around, and will it ever extremely effect the story-line? I only ask this because piggy is my main character and if Jack is going to keep doing this I'm going to bring on the HURT. haha just kidding.

I FORGOT TO PUT THEM IN MY OTHER POST OOPS...

Stranded and reading

  Be as detailed as you can, and make sure to be respectful of your fellow classmates.

     I thought that the airplane stimulation was a great activity for the class before starting the reading. Block one as a whole did a great job. We had fabulous leadership (Shout out to Diamond) and we could all agree on working together. Our greatest productions were establishing a ruler and looking for food and water. The worst thing... well, I cant really thing of anything that really stood out that we did poorly.
     If our class where to have this same thing happen to them, I believe we would be well prepared. We would also survive, and live until we were saved. Our distributions on a leader and what to do first would help in the beginning of out journey. We would also have a plan for food and water, but the one thing I now realize is that we would need weapons and shelter witch we did not really focus on.

Free post sinister

     Last night was the best night ever. I went to the movies with my friends for Taylor's birthday. We went to see sinister, witch I thought was amazing. It was about a writer, and he writes stories about murders. Everything was great, until he finds a box in the attic. Once he watches the videos, he sees the films, he notices a creature. He does research, and they are all connected. So he continues his investigation.
    
    He finds that all the people killed where linked to eachother because they lived in the same house as the one before. The masked murder was a 'spirt/ ghoust' that possesed the youngest person in the family, and gets them to kill the rest of the fimily. It was very gorry, and had a pretty good ending for a horror movie. I'd give it a 3 out of 4 stars.

Readding response

    I have just started Matched, witch is very well written. It is about a girl that has just been matched to her best friend. When you are matched, you are 'married' to another person. Even is you don't know who they are, and sometimes they even live in another district. Once she is with her best friend, they learn things about each other that will change their relationship. I love this book. It resembles a futuristic society, and its differences from the present.

    The other book I read was yummy, and it was about a young boy who shot a girl a little on accident. After he ran, and struggled. He joined a gang, and felt challenged, so he tried to shoot a boy, and missed. After the crime did not blow over, his gang found him. Ill leave the rest to you to read. And the whole society shows the lower level of a city.
