Lord of the Flies by William Golding
The main Idea of the book is wanting power makes you a savage.
The authors purpose for writing this book is to show us what wanting power could lead thru and ways for us to survive.
The author is a storyteller because is telling a story that is fiction.
No, because not everyone wants power at my age unless it's for an election.
This book is nothing compared to other books that I have read in the past because this book it's located on an Island and there are kids trying to survive and in other book's kids are just playing around and not doing nothing.
In Conclusion, People who are interested in mountains or in survival or even action they would be interested in this book and would want to read this book but if you don't like nun of this then this book won't be for you because this book is full of action, mountains, and survival.

My theme is Absolute power corrupts absolutely and causes people to become savages.
This can connect to my life by like when my favorite football team is loosing and I'm getting mad and screaming at the tv even tho they can't hear me. That shows how I want my team to have absolute power in this game. And when I start screaming that shows savagery, And if they even get to score I get more and more savage because I start to scream more so then my mom gets mad at me and tells me to bring it down so this is why this theme is part of my life.

Ralph and his people had found a pig on the side of the water. They have been at the top of the mountain for a while. As they were cooking it they were saying who was gonna eat the pig. Piggy started to complained that he didn't get any of the pig and how come Ralph and Simon had gotten some when they didn' help to get the pig either so then they got into an argument and ended up giving piggy some.

I am not enjoying the book so far since there hasn't been a lot going on so it hasn't caught my eye so far. But maybe in the next pages.

What stood out the most was how Ralph makes the decisions.

what surprised me was how like when they wanted to make a fire they were waiting for him to give them that order.

This section has reflected like when Donald Trump wants to make a decision he says it but if he doesn't then they don't do nothing.

Compare and contrast Ralph and Simon

What would you do if you were in Ralph situation

What happened in section two of the Lord of the Flies was that Jack was being aggressive and that if he were to say something he would mean it. I'm kind of enjoying the book now that I'm reading it a little more. What stood out more in the section was how

what I read was that two characters died in this section that I had read. I am not enjoying the book because there is not a lot of action in the book. What stood out was how they died and how detailed it was. Nothing surprised me in this section and if something did it would have to be what shocked me. No this book does not connect to anything thing in my life or part of this book reflect my life.

The Protagonist in the Lord Of The Flies is Ralph, and he is brave, strong, and smart.

Ralph, acts brave when he has to do something.

My family has been getting dummies that look like real life humans and weight as much as people. We have a company where we get dummies for the doctors to be able to practice their skills on how to be a surgent and how to be able to help people in different types of way. One day I woke up and I heard the doorbell ring so I opened the door and saw another dummy and yelled "We got another one" so we got it and took it to the hospital and sold it to the hospital.

I would not forget my first day in high school in a cast because it was really hard getting around places and its just bad starting school with a cast. Adults probably forgot because they weren't the ones who lived it how I did. Also, most of them have their own memories and probably don't really pay attention to the others past. So they just focus on there's to be remembered. Probably my parents would remember and my siblings but not someone else who didn't live that memory with you.

Million Dollars

I would go back to the past knowing everything I know with 10 dollars and invest in the apple store since I would know the store would grow and get big and I knew this company would end up getting a lot of money. Also, I would buy a lot of lands so that when the time would come people would want to buy my land and I would be able to sell it for a lot of money and have more money coming out from both the apple company and making people buy my land. If that weren't to work I would of steal ideas that people have come up with and make them mine, for example, Pop sockets, Fidget spinners, and kendamas. Stuff like that would make you grow in less than a month and since its cheap everyone would want to buy them. That would make me 100,000,000 dollars a year real quick. Also, if I were to do the land thing I would have bought the land where most of the popular areas are at right now, and they would want to buy the land so they would have to pay me a lot of money for them. Dose are some options that I would do.

slang

Yes if we give enough time to slang, we would probably not use these words as our vocabulary.
One day I and my friend were texting and we kept saying Lol and eventually, we started using more words. Until the next day when I went to my friend's house we were talking and talking and we put a show and it was funny so we were saying Lol. So that was pretty funny. Then he put a video were Lil pump is doing something and he kept saying skite so we started using the word in our vocabulary. The week after we went to the skateboarding park, and I was like¨ I´m still gonna send it" I said and then he started saying it because it was funny(Lol). And one day in class my teacher got mad at us for using this type of language so he yelled and said to stop.

Flight Vs Invisibility

I choose flying because then I could get anywhere faster and don't have to drive. The things that I would do would be flying everywhere don't have to wait on stoplights won't have traffic. I would be able to fly anywhere I want to like the store, friends house, and just anywhere I want without having to wait for anything. I would also be a superhero like a superman. I would also be able to dress up like an airplane when its Halloween and be able to steal candy and people won't be able to get them back. I would also just fly around instead of walking so that I won't get tired. I would also be able to skydive without a parachute

20/10 Question

2018-11-05T07:45:00.001-08:00

11-5-18

I would change the way of living like obey they laws and do a lot of good things. I would buy my parents a House and with a bigger backyard so that my dogs can be there and have fun. Then I would stop paying taxes buy huge land and make a big house there and start building a track to ride motorcycle's and have fun. I would get my own lake on one side of the land and ride boats and jet skis. I would also have a big pool with water slides and with a trampoline that's level to the ground. I would buy my fav cars and buy my dad and mom their fav car. I would also start my own company so that when I die my family has more money coming out. And if its possible I would pay a doctor or whoever and get immortal so that I wouldn't die after 10 years.

Scylla and Charybdis

This is Scylla the women that were once beautiful but got cursed by Zeus and now I'm like this with the snake hair and the 12 octopus legs. I eat 6 people who pass thru here. I live in the cave were the sirens come out from and were the ladybirds trap the people and eat them. My sister who was once living in the land got cursed like me and now she lives under the water swallowing the water and spitting it back out. most of the people who past thru here die because of me or because of her but once some people past by and past thru the sirens and then try to pass thru me but I got 6 of them and now they are trying to get past Charybdis which I think they won't pass because of the waves and the whole they are gonna drown. During these past years, I've seen people die by the sirens or by me or by Charybdis.
I would scare these people by telling them

- " hey you about to die" and then I would eat 6 of them
and then it would be funny when they would say "Ahhhhh leave us alone "
Then I would feel bad and then let them sink by the Charybdis. I fell in love with Odysseus when he passed thru here that's why I left him alone.

Amusement park

This is called an Amusement park were humans have fun. They have a lot of rides you can ride and a lot of carnival games. carnivals games are like little stands where you pay to play and if you win you get a prize. And then there are the rides where you can get on and it's like a little car but the car has more seat belts to it, and it goes in like crazy angles and it has drops and loops. There are some shows you can watch too and the shows maybe something like a clown or people dancing or making jokes. There are also little buildings from the past in some Amusement parks. This is one of the ways humans like to have fun would you like to try it?

I don't want to end up being someone who lives in the streets and that buysand sells drugs. Or someone who works at a fast food place when they are 25. I don't want to be like this because it's a good lifestyle. If you went to school for all these years and just to end up doing nothing would be wrong. And then doing drugs and things will kill you. I want to be someone successful, not someone who doesn't want to be. That's why I don't want to be like that. Also because then people would see you as failers. And then your family is gonna be like why didn't you come live with us and then they are gonna think because maybe you wanted to live a bad life and do drugs and who know what.

Advice

2018-10-25T07:46:00.003-07:00

10-25-18

The best advice I have ever received was when my dad told me how to not listen to other people when they are telling me to do something bad. The best advice I've given was when I told my friend when he was the goalie to go to the right because the guy was gonna kick it there so he did and we won the game. I think that Austin Kleon said something that's very true and that whatever advice you give or you receive its because those people lived thru what we are living and so they have experience and they want to help us not to have the adversity they went thru so they give us advice. I would ask my future self how I was now and who I would hang out with. I would tell my younger self to enjoy elementary because after that you see a lot of things that you haven't seen. And to choose good friends that are gonna help me and so far I did well

Tattoo

Last week I wanted to get a tattoo so I went to the tattoo place and got one. They offered me a new idea they had come up with so I agreed. But while they were doing it I was Distress because. But if only I hadn't gotten a glow-in-the-dark tattoo it would have been better because in the night all you see it's my tattoo glowing and so I can't sleep when there is a light. If I get another glow in the dark tattoo I would get it somewhere I won't be able to see it. Now I understand why the tattoo place charged me less money.

The three belongings that I would get the person that their house is burning I would get them there safe box if they have one were they have stored all of their important stuff in it. The other thing that I would get them would be any of their pets if they have any, and the last thing I would get them their favorite picture of their family. To be able to do this I would need to get someone who is Pliant so that they can get thru any obstacles there is in the house.

The pizza tasted good.

Pizza the food that almost everyone likes. Pizza can be topped with tomato sauce, cheese, and pepperoni and their's pizza with sausage and then there different types of pizza. People say that the pizza in New York has the best. There are many different types of pizza's like the normal one that's shaped like a triangle and then there a deep-dish pizza wish is the best in my opinion. Many people like the Hawaiian pizza and then many people say that pineapple and pizza don't go together. Pizza can't go wrong when you kids at a party or around. People say that others don't know how to pronounce pizza correctly. Pizza tastes good when you put it in the oven.
