Precious Lord

Do heros always have to big, strong and confident? Most people think that heroes are strong, brave and confident. But that may not always be the case. In the story, The Hobbit, We meet the main character Bilbo Baggins. In the beginning of the story Bilbo is believed to be a short scared hobbit. Bilbo is about half the size of a human and is a little scared and shy. As the story continues through the chapters you start to notice that Bilbo starts to become better and better and they start to call

Throughout history, many have debated the true nature of man, and whether society is beneficial to humankind or not. Lord of the Flies is a novel written by William Golding during World War II, portraying the actions and consequences of adolescent British boys on a tropical island after a plane wreck. A group of boys, being the only survivors of the crash, make an effort to establish a civilization on the island while they wait until an authority figure rescues them, appointing roles to one another

Nestor was awakened by a very loud noise. It sounded like some extremely loud footsteps. They were so strong they shook the entire ground. Rocks began to fall from the caves roof. Then all rocks fell to the ground, and made the entire cave collapse. Nestor was buried under a big pile of rocks, and dirt. Nestor became furious and angrily raised himself out of the pile. He went outside to see what was causing all the noise, and all the shaking. When Nestor looked out he did not see anything

“Which is better-- to have laws and agree, or to hunt and kill?” (Golding 180). In survival situations, when the concept of civilization vanishes and common rules are abandoned, chaos and evil arise. In the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding, a group of British schoolboys spanning from ages six to twelve must fly to safety from the war consuming their country. When their plane is shot down, the schoolboys find themselves stranded on a tropical island in the Pacific with no surviving adults

Thank you for sharing the next installment of “Hey Trouble” with me. The chapters continued to be easy reading with nice pacing. The humor is definitely not wearing off in these chapters as Lexi’s insights and the community around her is a gold mine. A couple of lines I enjoyed in these chapters were, “I keep waking up expecting to be sealed again to the air mattress, leaking teaspoons of deep end onto Grandma’s faded rainbow striped sheets. (1)” and “The boy is in a deep squat of mourning over his

Harsh Soni Mattson LOTF Essay Hunger, fear, leadership, and power can lead to destruction in a society. Who doesn’t want to feel powerful and and worthy of honor? Who doesn’t want to guide others and create a character that is strong in body and mind? An island filled with boys going vicious for these characteristics just makes the situation ten times worse. There is no way that deterioration of society on the island could have been avoided, especially with boys like Jack

No one ever likes to take the blame for anything; everyone wants to blame someone for everything that goes wrong. It’s just the way society works; no one ever wants to be seen as the bad. Nothing changes in the book Lord of the Flies by William Golding, a story about a group of boys who get stranded on an island far away from civilization, with no supervision of any kind. A boy named Ralph is the voted the leader at the beginning of the book by the group of boys, but from the very start Ralph

We fell out of the sky today. I don’t know where we crashed. Other boys were on the plane so they had to be around here somewhere, but there are no grownups—that’s what Ralph said. Ralph thinks we’re on an island and he’s been calling me “Piggy.” I don’t want him to call me that; that’s what the boys at school call me. He’s been making fun of my asthma too. Anyways, he said his dad is in the Navy and he’s going to come rescue us. Ralph spotted a shell in the water—I told him it was a conch—and I

For our personal reading response we had to reflect on an LRA revision. The revised response is an example of my best work because I expanded on my ideas and didn’t just talk about one topic which allowed me to make my response a lot longer than it was. In my work I branched out and talked about different ideas than just Bilbo talking back to Thorin and showing that he has authority over the group. I tried to make the analysis tie together so it didn’t go off topic and I also tried my best to include

Day 1 I found this journal On the top of some rocks I don’t know how it survived the plane crash. After I picked up this book I saw that it was empty so I thought I could record each day here. As I got off these rocks and started to walk down to the beach I saw a little fat kid with glasses and told him my names Ralph he said his name is piggy, piggy didn’t seem like a real name but I didn’t say anything about it. As we were talking we found out that we were in a plane that was escaping the war
