Things are really starting to heat up around the camp. There was murder and real savagery involved in this reading. Jack i think has completely lost it and has now taken over. When looking at this now i think they will never get rescued.

The boys have now killed one of theirown because they have all gone so far away from civilization they dont know what to do. The only person that knew anything in the group is now dead. They killed simon and now will probably be lost. Simon knew things that the rest of them didnt know. Simon had that spirit like way about him wich made him more of an inteligent person. When they kill Simon Ralph is the only one that later noticecs what they have actually done. They have killed someone because they are so crazy.

Jack in a way doesnt care because he is behind his mask. He isnt the real Jack. He is hiding the real him behind the mask. He has become more savage and filled with rage and he has taken control of the other boys in his group because of how savage he is.

Reading 3 of LOTF

This reading made even more connections to everyday life. The book is now connecting to modern day life more and more as the book progresses.


Jack is becoming more of a physo it seems like. He keeps the mask on and he walks around with his spear all the time. He is starting to do things his way or he doesnt do them at all. He has a group of other boys and they serve as the hunters of the colony. Jack is behind the mask so he isnt Jack right now; he is someone else. he is using it to brake away from the rules of society a little bit becasue there are no adults. Jack is more concerened about hunting and killing than he is getting off the island. Ralph on the other hand has his sights set on getting out of the aive and in good condition. He views this a a minor setback in life and it will be fixed in no time. Jack on the other hand wants to live in the forest and hunt and be a wild animal.

I just see Jack being the better leader out of him and Ralph. The little ones are not helping matters any because they wont do anything the most they is eat fruit and play in the sand

Reading 2 of Lord of The Flies

In this reading thoe boys are beginning to refelct more and more on todays society. For example; the small children are running around playing and the older boys are working. Ralph is supposed to be the leader of the boys and he has not taken charge yet. He thinks that because he said all these things have to be done the other boys will automatically do it. He needs to make the rules and tewll the younger kids whats going on.

This resembles todays society because if we didnt have a leader we would live in a chaotic place. There would be no order. Thats what the presidents job is in our society. He keeps everything running smooth in the government and wich in return makes other things in life go smoother.

I think that Jack would make a better leaader than Ralph. I think this because he is is more of a go getter than Ralph is. jack wants to get things done and take charge. I think he would make a good leader for this group of boys.

Chapter 1: Lord of The Flies, pages 1-32

Chapter 1 of the book was a real attention getter. it really made great points that you really have to pay attention to to understand. The book states in different ways how these events relate to real life situations.

For example; When the boys all come together after Ralph has blown the conch they demostrate a common socitety. The use a voting system to elect a leader of the group. In todays society they elect a leader wich we all know is he president who runs the country. They elected Ralph to be the leader because he was the one who brought them all together in the first place. Jakck on the other hand didnt get elected because of the way he said he should be the leader of the group. Jack has the personality of a leader on the outside, but on the inside he is no different from any of the other boys.

Another way they show a modern day societyis with the difference in social classes amoong the group pf boys. There are many different social classes among the boys. There are the boys who are big and strong and who will lead the group. Then there are the younger more imature kids that just follow the older ones so they would be the followers of the society they have goinng on the island. in modern day society there are the different social classes. in todays society there are the higher class people the middle class people and the people who are at the bottom.

6th Reading of Great Expecations

We are now almost to the end of the book. Its a grat shame to be almost finished with the book. This reading shows alot of charicter and personality of Pip. There were many events once again in the reading.




Pip is traveling through the path and its very foggy and heavy out side. It sounds just like an old horror movie right. Im thinkin htta ok Pip is about to get injured or killed. So he is walking and he ventures into an old antiquated stone yard. He is looking around. and heaven knows what he was doing there in the first place on a night tlike that anyways. Just as i had predicted his candle gets blown out and a rope around his necka nd he is now in yerror, screaming for help but no one is going to come and save him. A flame is struck and the light lights up the cold and wicked face of Orlick. Now im thinkin that he is going to pull out a murder wepon out and kill him. I am thinking this is the end of Pip. But he doesnt. He starts accusing pip of coming inbetween him and a young woman he liked. He also confesses to Pip that he is the one that killed Mrs. Joe. This comes as a shock to me because i thought he would kill Pip and not Mrs. Joe. Just for the fact that maybe he would just go straight to pip instead of messing around with klilling Mrs. Joe. He tells Pip he will have his revenge . Im thinkin at this opoint. You idiot; you have him tied up why dont you just kill him already. I mean if i was a cerial killer i would just do it and get it over with.


So they are sittingg there and Orlik is telling him all the so called complaints he has. He goes over and takes a drink of liquor and then picks up a rock hammer and gives Pip the look that he is going to kills him. I am thinking that he is going to finally at this point. He starts coming at Pip witth the weapon and just as he is about to be killed. Herbert busts in to the scene with a group oif men to save the day. They are like to old day justice league. There is a big fight but Orlik escapes. But i found it unusual that Pip and the group pf men did not go after him. They went back to the house to make sure that Magwiches escape goes well.

I am very excited to see how the book ends. I am hoping for a happy ending and i think there will be ine with maybe Pip actually havinjhg a happy life for once.
