Lord of the Flies 12

I hated how the book ended. I would have liked to see what consequences the boys got for the murders of piggy and simon. I would have also liked yhe boo to have been written in ralphs flashback to make the book more interesting. 

lotf 12

where did the naval officer come from?! he just appeared out of no where!!! luckily ralph found him rather than merridew because that could have spelled all kinds of trouble for the kids and the ship they would be leaving on

chapt 2&3

piggy is my favorite character so far. I feel as if he is the only one who actually listens to the rules. he's always trying to tell Ralph and the other boys too do the right thing. 

lord of the flies 12

I feel as if the ending of this book came way to abruptly, how did no one see this ship coming not Ralph not any of the kids that were on the beach when they are hunting Ralph.

unwind part 7

This ending made a difference to the entire book. While some may criticize it being too much of a good ending, I see it as a surprise that they could turn a scary story about Humpfree Dunfee, into a beautiful ending where they could still be with their son. Although he is not in one piece, he is in hundreds of pieces; And they are all very respected pieces. The memories start to connect and Harlan becomes whole to them. They see him in front of him. They realize that the entire being; Is the entire consciousness.

unwind part 6

This is perhaps the most sickening chapter I have ever had to read. The life of a patient to the workers at the chop shop is just as valuable as the lies they tell them to ensure them that their going to be saving lives. Everyone deserves a choice whether they would like to die, let alone if they would like to watch themselves get torn apart bit by bit for someone who deserves it more. Roland is portrayed as the bully in this book, but in this final chapter of his life, he is shed in another light in the surgery room. his life lays in front of the surgeons, and all it is is just another story to them. my question is; how could they notice that half of the kids coming in there to be used for spare parts, are just as troubled as anyone else. If anything they deserve more in their life. if you look at how negative everyone is in their life, you just start deciding that they'll always be the villain. and a villains role in this world is to be a hero for someone else... whether they like it or not.

unwind part 5

In this part of the story, we find that Connor and Risa had made it to the graveyard. This was a new advantage to unmask skills that they had never known before. They are able to use their skills to benefit other unwinds across the graveyard. What's ironic about the graveyard, is that even though it symbolizes a scrap yard for retired jets and aircrafts; It resembles a new life, much the opposite of a graveyard for the unwinds. They are looked at as heroes and they are appreciated. This is how life should be, even if they are treated as refugees; They are treated as humans and dignified with respect for wanting to be alive like anyone else that is allowed to live at this point.

unwind part 3

This part of the book really made me think of how these people were treated like an underground railroad. It really resembled a lot of stress on the person individually. and they had to adapt and change with the world around them in order to survive. In a way escaping from their unwinding has changed them in a way that they'd never expect in the aspect that they are now able to fend for themselves completely. the fact that Lev had managed to learn to steal and pick through the garbage of even eat someone else's leftovers showed that he was willing to live for a different purpose.

LOTF 12

Thank god the kids were saved before either Ralph or another kid was killed. It is just great that they were saved. I imagine that Jack and his tribe would have killed Ralph and maye they would kill the Navy Officer.

Lord of the Flies 10 & 11

Jacks group is getting out of hand by assulting Ralfs group for Piggys glasses. Piggy was my favorite character and i cant believe he died. I think that Piggy represented civilization and since he died, it was lost.

Lord of the Flies 8 & 9

Im completely shocked that they killed Simon. They all must be going psychotic to have the idea in their head that Simon was the beast. Simon was a symbol for Jesus and the good on the island and now that was lost.

Lord of the flies chapter 12

I feel as if the ending of this book came way to abruptly and should of had more build up then it happening so quickly.

lotf 12

what becomes of the other poor kids left on the island? if theyre left there with merridew i feel bad for them, hes become beyond ruthless and he grows more bloodthirsty every second! its just crazy the way he acts and kills without remorse!

LOTF Chapter 12

I didn't think the ending was too realistic but I was glad that Ralph survived. I'm curious on whether all the boys were rescued or if some were left behind. I wonder what the naval officer was thinking when Ralph told him that two kids were killed on the island.

LOTF 12

I didn't actually think they were going to ever be rescued. Ralph succeeded in being a better leader than Jack by getting them rescued. 

LOTF 12

I think Jack needs evaluate his sanity. Sending kids to kill another kid that did nothing to you is barbaric. It's ridiculous to think about how close they all were in the begining of the book and how torn apart they are in the end. I thought it was a little to coincidental that Ralph just happend to be saved by a random ship in the end.

LOTF 10-12

Poor Piggy and Poor Ralph. These boys have officially lost it.. They're blood thirsty. They're all acting like animals and its pretty crazy.

That ending was terrible... it was anticlimactic. One second all the boys are in a murder chase and then bam! blindsided by society. I guess I shouldn't call it terrible. I understand the purpose at least. Especially once they all start sobbing and realize just how nuts they were...

LOTF 8&9

Splitting up is going to cause some crazy stuff to happen.. What's pathetic is that this idea of a power struggle is ingrained in our human nature. Everyone wants their way but sometimes it cant happen that way and oh surprise! Shit hits the fan..

And Simon is dead.. There goes all logical thinking on the island. These boys are screwed.

LOTF 12

Piggy and Simon are gone and now it seems like all hope is lost. It did not end how I thought it was going to end. I thought that everyone was going to die or something like that. In  the end, Ralph calls Piggy his friend which was  no t how he felt about him in the beginning.

LOTF 10-11

Jack is just psychotic now. After he killed that first pig, now he cant stop and killing is all he thinks about. They end up beating up Ralph and Piggy and at the end of chapter 10, it says that Jack has piggy's glasses hanging from his ear. So that means that all sources of the really world are now gone. They really are on their own, and are never getting back. Even though they blew the conch, no one came to their meeting. They all care about Jack now and want him to be their leader. The only thing I am confused about is, Is Roger trying to become the new chief?

lord of the flies 10-11

With piggy dead and the conch destroyed Ralph is all alone and is probability going native at any moment.

lotf

piggy's death needed to be more of a big deal, i thought it was too down played. it was a pretty terrible way to die but it needed a big part in the book because of the gravity of what it symbolizes. merridew is just off his rocker, hes gone completely nuts and is now further hurting their chances of getting off the island, which i think will never be done unless theyre found on a stroke of good luck.

Lord of the Flies 10-11

What really shocked me about this chapter is the utter collapse of these children. The death of piggie is very shocking and it's grotesque nature is very disturbing. 

LOTF 10 & 11

Jack has gone full crazy! They steal piggys glasses and then proceed to attack Ralph when he wanted to talk. Poor Piggy. He cant see because of his glasses being stolen so he ends up getting crushed by the boulder. Sad to see what happens but they will never make it off the island alive unless they get help now.

Lotf 10/11

I think it's messed up how horribly Jack treats his followers and they still stay behind him. Ralph was trying to reason for piggys glasses and they wound up fighting. I thought it was really sad how piggy got killed over nothing

Chapter 7 and 8

This book is still boring but i did find the part will they kill the pig and also the part where simon is talking to the lord of flies ita just a little confusing but i am getting a little more curious as to what will happen next

LOTF Chapters 10&11

It was shocking that no one in Jack's tribe realized that they actually killed Simon and not the beast. I thought it was a bad decision by Ralph to go to confront Jack when it was obvious that Jack would not give piggy's glasses back. I predict in the next chapter that everyone in Jacks tribe will turn against each other.

Lord of the Flies Chapter 12

Jack has definitely gone crazy. He is planning to kill Ralph. Ralph and Jack have always had competition, but sending hunters out to kill another human being is barbaric. When Jack tries to smoke Ralph out a ship notices and they are rescued. Thankfully Ralph is saved from his death. And this is when the boys realize they had lost their civilization ... 

Lord of the Flies Chapters 10 & 11

After reading these two chapters, this book disgusts me. Once they stepped foot on the island they had order and rules and organization. But now that Jack is in charge he is teaching the group of boys to act uncivilized and attack the boys that they were once compains with. Honestly, Im dissappointed that another character has died, and that it was Piggy. Both Piggy and Simon were the characters that tried to harmonize the group and reach their initial group of being rescued. They were killed for that. Jack's uncivilized manor is horrid. I don't understand why Roger would even push a boulder. What made these boys go so crazy, Was it the beast???? 

LOTF 10 & 11

It is complete chaos now. Jack's tribe is insane and crazy. Piggy's death was very sad, I liked him, he was a good character in the book.

LOTF 8 & 9

They seem to be losing all hope of civilization. None of the boys are civilized anymore. Jack and Ralph still have a power struggle and they have split to see who really is more powerful.

LOTF ch 12

For me, the ending was a let down. It was so sudden after such an intense build up. 

*Spoilers* 

 The ending is probably symbolic  of "God saving us from our sins." I just think the book would have such a bigger impact if they weren't saved.

LOTF 8 and 9

These chapters confused me. I don't like the description on how they kill the pig and the fact that they killed Simon really just throws all there hope with him into the ocean.

LOTF 12

this was not the ending I expected. I enjoyed the notes on lotf more than I did the last chapter. reading the notes solidified all the ideas I had about the books theme. I don't understand why Ralph didn't pick up on the spear being double sided, which i felt was ironic because of the death they inflicted on the mother sow. was the plan to give him the same fate meant to symbolize the complete end of their protection/nurture? much better story than unwind.

LOTF 10&11

I wasn't sure how I felt about these chapters. I had a feeling Piggy would die, but the context he was actually killed in wasn't what I imagined. Every character of reason in this book has been killed besides Ralph, so I wonder if he dies in this next section. It is obvious that Piggy's excerpt in chapter 11 is the ideas of society without a governing body and how there is savagery within it.

LOTF ch 10 & 11

These chapters were so intense. I didn't expect the boys to be so dramatically divided. Piggy's death is pretty graphic. I don't think there's any hope left for these guys. I wonder if Jack will end up killing Ralph or if he just will give in and join Jack's tribe.

Lord of the Flies 6&7

Once again its weird that when they had another chance to be rescued that no one was awake. I believe that when the author uses darkness it means no hope while on the other hand, the light and the light of the fire mean hope

Lord of the Flies 4&5

Its a coinsidence that the ship came when the fire was out.. They lost the one chance they had of being saved. When Ralf called the meeting he once again tried to call order and create this idea of staying civilized but the kids seem to vear off into another direction.

Lord of the Flies 2&3

Now i see that Piggy is annoying and Ralf is doing a good job at keeping people to do the fire and huts. He is worried about doing these things to keep people inline and inorder. 

Lord of The Flies 8-9

This chapter is very disturbing, throughout we saw Simon get attacked and jack talking to a pig. It was very confusing and I'm looking forward to see how it pans out.

Lord of the flies 8 and 9

Simon is dead. I could have sworn that Piggy would have been first to be fair Piggy has pissed off half the people on island where Simon kept to himself and did nothing wrong to any one them. I could have sworn that Piggy would have been killed first.

Lord of the Flies 1

Im glad that they picked Ralf to be the leader, but i feel like Piggy would be better at knowing what to do when it comes to keeping everyone alive.

8 and 9

SIMON DEAD:  This is not truly that surprising to me, it is surprising that Simon was the first to die. Simon usually kept to himself and I was going to assume Piggy would die first. With the cover of my book, Piggys glasses were on the ground with a blood pool so my initial thoughts were that Piggy would die. It is interesting how they actually kill him with their bare hands which makes me wonder how the next person will die.

LOTF 8&9

I cant believe that Simon is dead. These 2 chapters have had the most problems with the group then any other chapter. Jack made his own group and is treated like a king by the boys.

lotf 8-9

merridew really lost his cool, he got so enraged with ralph's poor leadership and stormed off inviting others with him. i think this will spell trouble for the entire island because weve already seen what merridew is capable of and how ruthless he is

LOTF 8-9

I was so confused during these pages that I actually read the chapters and then spark noted about it to make sure I was understanding what I read. I don't know how I feel about the pig symbolism, or the whole idea of the killing of this pig. Simon's death just makes me question what it means for the rest of the book, because I felt he was a symbol of hope and they just literally killed him.

Unwind 7

I still cannot believe that after everything, all the hatred, that lev in this section does not clap. That made me happy. Also that Lev saves both Connor and Risa. At the end of the book it was such a coincidence that Connor got Roland's arm with the shark tattoo. Also, because I'm slightly a romantic I was happy that Risa was still alive and that Connor and her still have this connection. It's complete apart from the entire idea of Unwind, but that's what drew me in to that idea.

LOTF Chapters 8&9

I was not surprised at the beginning of chapter 8 when Jack broke off from the group. It was only a matter of time before it happened. The most surprising thing about this chapter was when Simon talked to the pig head. I'm curious about how Simon died as well

Unwind 6

Although Roland is a bad guy I don't believe it was right for Connor to hold him in there for so long. The one thing that really surprised me was that when everything was in complete chaos, Connor was able to calm the kids and stop them from trying to kill the admiral. Also, I was shocked when they risked their chances of being caught by juvey cops  to get the admiral to a hospital, although unfortunately it didn't turn out on their favor.

Lord of the Flies 7-8

There was a lot of craziness in these chapters causing me to have to reread some of it. You can tell that the kids are getting to the point where there brains are no longer functioning clearly since simon realized that the beast was just a figment of their imagination.

Unwind 5

I think it's really nice that the admiral does this for the unwinds. The fact that he is giving them a second chance is awesome. Although it does seem like he is trying to hide something behind this hard exterior of his. I thought it was really cool that Risa fell into the medical part of The Graveyard so quickly. But when Lev becomes part of the graveyard I don't like the person that he's turned out to be. He is way too rude now.

LOTF ch 8 & 9

Simon's murder represents the end of goodness and civility on the island. The author used the storm as a symbol for this change. These chapters were particularly gruesome and chaotic. I agree with Bri; I'm pretty sure Simon was hallucinating about the talking pig head. Either way, that part is creepy.

Lord of the Flies Chapter 8&9

These chapters were complete chaos. There were a few pages I had to re-read because I was unsure exactly what was going on. I can't believe all the disaster that has occurred all because of the beast accusation. Simon finds out the beast is a figure of their imagination, and goes to tell the boys  but because they are in a cannibal state, they tear Simon to pieces. I was a little confused about the Lord of the Flies part. But I believe that he was imagining that the Sow's head was speaking to him, and that it was covered in flies? The change in leadership and division of the groups leaves Piggy and Ralph by themselves still continuously resorting back to their original goal, which was to get rescued.

Lord of the flies 6-7

What shocked me in this chapter, is how barbaric the kids acted towards Rob and how the resorted to physically harming him

unwind 4

I thought that the way Lev was just straight out honest with the pawnbroke and yet managed to get what he wanted was pretty amusing. Also the conversations inside the crates was pretty interesting. It's different getting to know somebody based off of their words, rather than what they look like, which is what both Connor and Risa did while in these crates.

Unwind 3

It was really nice on Hannah to take the baby and promise to take care of it. Even though you never know if someone is lying, the way the author wrote it made it seem like she really meant it.
There is something up with the new character cyfy from the beginning of part 3, but he seems to have living on his own down to a T.

Unwind 2

I think it was a good thing that Connor took the storked baby because if he hadn't that baby most likely would have been unwound because it was unwanted. Although in the case that Connor, Risa, and Lev are trying to not get caught by juvey cops, it isnt the best idea. But then when the teacher Hannah helps them instead of turning them in to the cops, I was shocked because most people think that unwinds are dangerous and don't deserve life.

lotf 6-7

if the twins didnt fall asleep would the pilots who were in a heated dog fight even have seen the fire had it been lit?

LOTF 6 & 7

I cant believe they practically tortured Robert. Poor kid. These guys are losing sight on civilaization. I noticed Jack was anchoring the wild side of the group while Ralph is the anchor of the civilized part.

LOTF 6&7

Ralph seems to be the only one with some kind of sense still left.. he's thinking logically about being rescued while all the other boys just want to have fun and hunt and kill pigs. They see this island as a place for them to be free. But Ralph knows what they left behind and he wants to get back to it as soon as he can. I think soon the boys will revolt against Ralph altogether. His hold over them is weak as is and Jack is not helping that case. Ralph can't beat them, he may end up joining them. or die.

I also don't get the big freaking out over the "beastie". I think they're being irrationally afraid. Although I'm here in normal society and they're alone on an island. But had they gotten there during the day they would have been able to identify clearly what their beastie was.. Although I don't think a parachute will ever look animal like.

LOTF 4&5

The little kids seem to be living lives of their own. They act independently from the older boys, I think that's because they had the least hold on society in comparison to the older boys. You can see the struggle against rules in regulation when Roger throws rocks around the littleun but doesn't hit him... cant hit him. But will that change?

LOTF 2&3

I noticed that the choir is starting to merge into the group. they're becoming less and less separated and civilized and starting to join the wild clothe less mass that is the group. Also, there's a lot of leadership struggles between Jack and Ralph.. you can see it in their interactions and the way that one will revert his eyes. Ralph has natural strength as a leader but Jack is more accustomed to it.

Lord of the Flies chapters 4&5

In chapter 4 you start to see the boys coming together as a civilization when they carry the pig down singing a song. The older boys don't like how the little ones just play around all the time, and they aren't helping. You start to see great tension between Ralph and Jack again because Ralph saw a ship on the horizon and then noticed that the signal fire was out, and that was Jack and his hunters responsibility to make sure it was still going. I wasn't very surprised that Jack hit piggy in the face resulting in lights glasses breaking because I knew that one of them was going to beat on him sooner later cause they didn't want to hear him complain. In the beginning of chapter five you see order as Ralph tries to get the boys together at a meeting to put the group back together. Once he starts explaining how no one is following rules Jack runs away and the hunters follow with him. At this part I was a little confused cause I didn't think that Jack would do that. 

Lotf chapter 6 and 7

Im not really into the story but i do find it interesting that ralph was in complete power in the begining and bow him and jack have an on going conflict of who is in charge. I think the twins shouldnt have lued and said the beast tried to attack and instead took a closer look to relize it was just a dead man stuck in his paruchutte from the war. Yeah it would have scared the boys but they would hve known that there wgere planes above and thwt they do have a chance to signal them.

Lord Of The Flies Chapters 2&3

At the beginning of chapter two the boys were starting to get more organized especially with the conch shell, and then the idea of the fire. Towards the end of the chapter the order turns into chaos with the fire and the boys are getting very disorganized and frustrated. I don't understand what the word "beastie" means. I'm not sure if the little boy was talking about an animal or maybe like a tree or something that he saw the shadow of. Also in chapter 3 it was kind of a given that Jack and Ralph are going to have arguments here and there because they are against each other. Ralph wanted to build the huts for the little boys, but Jack didn't want to help because he wanted to go catch some meat. I'm wondering what is going to happen to their civilization? 

LOTF chapter 6&7

The tension between Ralph and Jack continues to rise. Ralph has to continue to remind Jack who the "chief" is. But I think Ralph lost a lot of the power when he showed how scared he was when encountering the "beast." I found it very disturbing when they mentioned killing a little one, even if they were joking. It just shows how little civilization is left in them. 

LOTF Chapters 6&7

I believe that the parachuter that landed on the island is a bad omen for what is to come. Especially since all the kids that have seen him think it is a beast. One thing I found deserving was when the hunters pretended a kid was a pig and nearly killed him. I was shocked when jack said they should use the litluns instead. Ralph also becomes more savage in these chapters.

Lord of the Flies chapter 1

I felt that this chapter was a little confusing to read. At first I didn't really understand what was going on, and I feel like we had no background information on what happened before the crash to the island. I did like the part of the election, and I think that Ralph will be a good leader. But who knows what is going to happen. I feel bad for piggy because they made fun of him, and I feel like because Jack is one of the older boys he is going to try to rule everyone even though he wasn't picked as leader. 

Lord of the Flies Chapters 6&7

In this chapter, I noticed that the majority of the group keeps listening to Jack's ideas rather than Ralph's. But Ralph is the individual who is trying to make decisions for better of the group. The object that fell from the sky with a parachute, was interesting. This was a play of the "beast". I also noticed that Ralph has been putting his foot down lately and has repeatedly had to remind Jack that he was chief and that what he said goes. This is a division in powers but also a positive for Ralph's character. The boys are loosing sight of their main goal which is to be rescued from the island. And to do this they need to keep the fire lit which they often don't do.

LOTF 6 & 7

Ralph is starting the lose he little power he has over everyone. Him and Jack are still continuing to fight over power and as of right now I think Jack is going to win that over considering he's not afraid to go after the beast while Ralph is.

Lord of the Flies Chapter 4&5

The idea of the Beastie comes up again and all the little kids are scared. When the vines were on fire it made it seem like the beastie was alive and to the kids looked like the most menacing creature. Jack finally kills the pig and comes back covered in blood so you can visualize just the savagery that Jack has in his eyes. Ralph is unhappy with the productivity of the kids and calls a meeting. Before the meeting is called to an end Jack leaves the meeting and most of the kids follow him and leave but Ralph doesn't blow the conch to get them back because he knows they won't listen to him as much as they would Jack. And piggy is made fun of even more.

Lord of the Flies Chapter 2&3

It was a good idea by the group to have a conch shell that dictates who can speak. Most things are done with order and peace so far. Ralph is proving to be a proficient leader thus far espeically when telling the kids to make a signal fire to catch the attention of any ships off the coast. While Jack is frustated with the pig he's trying to catch, Ralph realizes that most of the kids aren't pulling their part in the group.

Lord of the Flies Chapter 1

Ralph just seems like the go-to person that everyone wants to be leader. I love how he incorporated piggy. Everyone knows that one annoying person that you just want to hit, so just by including him it makes the story that much more realistic. Most things for the time being have been civilized and I'm impressed that such young kids can organize this much.

LOTF 6/7

The power fight between Ralph and Jack is getting a little too mundane for my liking. I am starting to see what we discussed in class about Simon being a symbol.  He's the person of reason in the story for the time being. I liked how Ralph acknowledged that Piggy is the brains on the island.

Lord of the Flies 6&7

In this part of the book there organization and civilization is beginning to fall apart and Ralph who is suppose to in charge, no one is willing to do what is needed to get themselves off the island like keep the fire going.

LOTF ch. 6 & 7

Ralph is really starting to lose his civility because he took part in hunting a boar. Hunting is just for fun now. The fact the boys joke about killing a little one is disturbing.

Lord of the Flies 6&7

They are all starting to hate eachother more and more. Ralph is upset that no one wants to listen to him and that Jack is just doing whatever he wants. Piggy is just getting angrier that people are not listening to him. Ralph is upset that Jack and the choir are not keeping the fire going and Jack is upset that all Ralph cares about is the fire to get saved. If they dont have food, then they wont survive. And if they dont survive then why would they need to be saved?

Lord of The Flies Chapter 4-5

Reading deeper into this book I'm wondering how the boys will cope with Ralphs leadership and if this "beast" will e revealed.

LOTF 4/5

Raplh is definitely not used to power and keeping order. I think life is going to be even tougher for them now that Piggys glasses broke. They need to find a sense of working together or none of them are going to survive.

Lord of the Flies 4 and 5

It seems that the book is getting more interesting and they are trying to keep themselves from being left behind agine

LOFT Chapter 4 & 5

It's starting to get more interesting. There's more going on and it's not that easy anymore. They are getting more chaotic. Ralph is trying to atleast make some order but I feel like it's not going to work. 

LOFT 3/4

The breaking of Piggy's glasses makes me think about Wednesday's comment in our discussion. Jack broke the glasses, which is symbolizing the changing of intelligence being important to the children losing their mind in an intellectual sense. Also, the fire burning out when they almost got caught is screaming at me that they have seriously lost their sense of civilization. The protection, or hope, that they could be saved was tested with that boat and their focus was on the island instead of their rescuing, which is showing their savage tendencies beginning. I LIKE THE ISLAND PERSONIFICATION. SUPER DOPE.

lotf 3-4

the action in these chapters made it much easier to read, im interested to see what happens between simon and piggy now  that they're "friends" and see eye to eye on the direction the group is headed. i wonder if the kids have grown attached to the island and would rather stay there than be rescued and sent back home, maybe the island has become their home

LOTF 4 & 5

The kids had a chane to get off the island but they have slowly begun to become savages. They are adapting to the life on the island and i dont think they want to leave.

LOTF Chapters 4&5

I enjoyed these chapters a lot more because there was much more action. I knew that Jack would eventually challenge Ralphs power because Jack believes he is the strongest one in the group. I was Ralph shows he is a much better leader in these chapters.

Lord of the Flies 4&5

I think Ralph should have another set of kids looking after the fire, or himself, because Jack & the hunters actually caught the pig. I also feel that Jack is definitely to harsh on piggy and there was no reason to hit him , or treat him badly. I think it's right of Ralph though, to set the boys in line by having that meeting 

chapt 4&5

to me Simon reminds me of a Christ figure. he seems like he's a good kid. I like how he picked up piggys glasses and then gave him the meat. 

LOTF ch. 4 & 5

Simon is my favorite character. I think he symbolizes goodness, maybe even a religious figure. He empathizes with Piggy when he picks up his glasses and gives him his meat. Simon also proposes that the group is the "beast," suggesting that humans are the cause of the mayham in society.

Lord of the Flies Chapters 4 & 5

These chapters were less structured with the writing as well as the plot, the imagery that the author provides the reader is necessary but a little redundant. It was interesting to me when Ralph acknowledged that Piggy is smart but his appearance causes him to be looked at as a weak link. It is apparent that rules are being discarded so early in the novel. All the little children seem to believe that Jack's a better leader then Ralph because he is a hunter. But, Ralph puts things better into perspective then Jack does. The meeting at the end of chapter 4 was pure chaos. Ralph struggles with being a leader and a friend to other boys who are on the island. These chapters further described characters and their thoughts. As the chapters continue, the fear of the unknown seems to be increasing rapidly.

Lord of the Flies chapters 2&3

I think that Piggy should be the chief because he seems like he knows what he is doing. Ralph is starting to take all the power to an extent and now people are starting to not like him as much as they did in the beginning. Piggy just wants them to appreciate him and his help. All the kids just don't want anything to do with him. I feel really bad for him because he is the geeky child that no one likes and he seems like he is the only nice or "normal" one there. I think by the end, kids one by one are going to start to follow Piggy around instead of Jack and Ralph.

Lord of the Flies #2

they seem to be taking all of the steps to survival. they're making fire and shelter which is good. I wonder how the conflict between jack and Ralph will work out and if it will benefit the team in the long run or eventually tear the apart. I hope the hunters wind up catching a pig so they don't starve.

Lord of The Flies Chapter 2-3

Reading through these chapters I'm wondering how this conflict Jack and Ralph will pan out. Also if there hunters will ever shape up and catch something.

LOTF ch 2&3

I do believe that the idea the boys have about having fun on the island is going to work out.But if it is going to work there is time for work and time for play you need to get your situation in to a place where you can afford to have work and play at the same time. You need to get a shelter built you also need, food storage, and a way to get an accessible source of clean water. Those thing can be made fun by kids making it a game to see who can get the most wood for the fire, who can cache the most fish or pigs, and who can find the best way to get the closest source of fresh water.

LOTF 2/3

So far my favorite character is Piggy. I feel that he is the only person able to keep his mind right on the island right now, and Ralph and Jack are being blinded by the power they now possess. I'm predicting that throughout the story, Piggy will continue to make these small attempts to open the boy's eyes. At some point something will go wrong and Piggy will be the one saying 'I told you so' at the end. Simon's tranquil space is interesting: If its as nice as he thinks I wonder why he wants to keep it to himself. This secret is showing that separation is beginning to appear in the story.

lord of the flies chap2-3

piggy seems to be getting annoyed with ralph and merridew. he sees that the group doesnt follow the rules but ralph instead

LOFT Chapter 1

This chapter is mostly them trying to get things together and find out how to survive

lotf ch 2&3

I don't believe that the idea the boys have about having fun on the island is going to work out. I think that it will turn into complete chaos because nobody is going to either listen or want to take responsibility. Also you can tell the Ralph doesn't know how to handle kids younger than him so it was a good thing Jack said that they would make sure there was no snake to make the younger kid feel at ease.

LOTF Chapter 2 & 3

Besides the scene with the fire, I found these chapters rather boring. I feel bad for Piggy because he doesn't receive any respect even though he is trying to help. These chapters also have more chaos than order.

Blog 2 lord of the flies

This book is realy boring me I can't get into it but there are slit of parts that confuse me like where did the pigs come from is their a beast and how do these kids know how to do these things... Idk I'm hoping it picks up

chapt 2&3

I think Ralph is creating enemies little by little. he keeps yelling at the boys and when the little boy goes missing, Ralph doesn't seem to care. I believe that it's going to be getting more chaotic on the island and there will soon be conflict on the island. 

Lord Of the Flies chapters 2&3

I think the older kids are treating Piggy badly and not letting him speak or participate. I feel eventually piggy will go against them and there will be conflicts. Another part is when piggy told Ralph that the little boy was missing, and Ralph pretending like it was nothing was wrong. He should show care, and isn't realizing he's creating enemies. 

Lord of the flies chapter 1

To me, I feel like the book is too foward and starts with the plot so quickly, there's no real introduction. I felt bad for piggy when he wasn't brave enough to volenteer for leader of the group, and I feel like the whole group just pushes piggy around. This may cause conflict within the book. 

LOTF Chapter 2 & 3

It seems like it starts to be one a bit more chaotic on the island. Everyone yells at each other while trying to make a fire. They all have hope they will be rescued when chances are they won't.

LOTF 1

I dont like Ralph already.. He isn't the right kindof guy to be a leader. Although the oldest guys here are like 12 so they arent exactly credible either. I can't wait to see how fast poop hits the fan.

Lord of the Flies Chapters 2 & 3

I really like all of the imagery the author provides the reader with. The island is easily describable. I don't like that Ralph was appointed as the leader. He doesn't have the skills of a leader. Piggy is the leader of the group, but he is also the bystander which also confuses me. I'm still confused on what the scar is that the characters keep continuously referring to. Also I am nervous about this beastie snake. Ralph is taking the subject matter too lightly. And exactly where did that kid go, did the snake get him???? 

LOTF ch. 2 & 3

I didn't expect the boys to be yelling at each other this early on, but it's understandable given their situation. Their society is definitely declining rapidly. However, I'm finding Jack's and Ralph's relationship to be surprisingly friendly and light-hearted. I thought Jack would be angrier because he is not the leader. I wonder if their relationship will become more strained as we progress.

Lord of the flies chapter 1

I don't find this book interesting. It's a struggle to read it so far. 

Lord of The Flies Chapter 1

I enjoyed chapter one, I'm enjoying the concept of the book and I'm looking forward to see how this group of children survives on this island with only each other. Also I'm curious on how Ralph is going to be as a leader.

Lord of The Flies Chapter 1

The beginning of this book is alittle slow and hasn't yet caught my interest. Although I didn't think it was right for Ralph to continuously say Piggy knowing he didn't want to be called that.

Lord of the Flies chapter 1

I noticed some differences between the book and the movie. For one thing it seemed that everyone on the island all showed up at different times. Another thing is that the pilot did not survive in the book. I look foward to seeing how their society develops.

Lord of the flies part 1

This is starting off a little slow I Luke the part where they vote for the leader I personally think piggy should be leader

chapter 1

I think it's unfair that Ralph used his authority to embarrass Piggy. the beginning was slow and confusing 

Lord of the Flies Chapter 1

This chapter was interesting. I noticed that the word "scar" was used tremendously throughout this chapter and  I wasn't sure what the word was referring to. I can already infer that Jack and Ralph will be competitive because they both a conceded and the leaders of the pack of children. I felt really bad for Piggy when Ralph used his authority to embarrass him. I also noticed that Piggy misses his aunt even though he has only been on the island for a little while. Also Piggy may feel this way because there are no adults and because of his parents dying. The beginning of the novel was a little slow and I didn't like how it was written.

Unwind 7

I enjoyed reading about the long awaited arrival of Harlan. It makes the Admiral and his wife so pleased to get to meet everyone that had received a part from him. it was like they were all a big family. When Lev was surprised by the visit by Pastor Dan, I think it was a great confrontation and explanation of why things happened and why he had told Lev what he had.

Unwind 6

It was a good choice by the author to include the scene of Roland getting unwound because its makes you feel like your the one in the seat getting chopped up. It also gives the reader a better picture of Roland and what his past was like. When Lev hears that Connor is going to be unwound he starts to freak out and it shows how much Lev really cared about him. When Connor first took Lev it was like all he wanted to do was get away but in the end he just wants to save his life even if it means giving his own. I feel like Lev is willing to give his life to whatever he believes in, whether it be unwinding, or saving Connor's life.

Unwind 5

I think its interesting how Connor has become the problem solver of the graveyard as the mechanic who can fix anything, and Risa has become the nurturer by being assigned as a medic. its different to see how much Lev has changed from the beginning, being an innocent and willing tithe, to become such a rebellious teen.  

LOTF pt 1

I never am a big fan of the first fed chapters if a book, getting acquainted with a character and a new setting usually doesn't interest me that much. I like the description of the island though, but I feel I'm not completely seeing the correct thing. Nice vocabulary use and I question if Jack didn't kill the pig because of his morals (that may or may not be changed??)

Lord of the Flies ch. 1

I like how descriptive this book is. It's easy to visualize Golding's vivid scenes. I'm very interested in the decline of the boys' civilized nature and the events that lead up to that point because it doesn't seem like any of them have the skills or knowledge to survive for long.

Unwind part 7

I didn't really enjoy the ending of the book, and I thought it was really weird how Connor got Roland's arm because of the tattoo. In the end you see how kind lev really is, yes he might have changed throughout the book but at the end he shows his true character. I'm glad we read this book. 

Unwind part 6

I was disappointed with this part because I didn't like to hear that the unwinds have to sit in the harvest camp for over a month, until they are called to be unwound. I feel that is so nerve wracking and if I knew I was going to die I would just want that to be over with instead of waiting. I also don't like that Connor and Risa got caught. I was a little surprised that Roland was the one to turnon them. The unwinding process is very disturbing knowing  that they are awake the entire time, and know what parts are being taken off of them. 

Unwind Part 5

I believe that this part of the novel is the turning point. All of the characters start to change, and the Admiral is changing his mind and he starts to help the unwinds because of his regret to what he did to his son. 

unwind

what a twist! connor gets unwind parts when he himself was an unwind and on top of that he got rolands arm! thats just insane, i really liked this book

unwind

unwinding seems pretty terrible, and it was horrid that the surgeons would just make jokes like roland wasnt even there

unwind

how did lev get drawn into that chaos cult? and what changed him so much after leaving cyfi?

unwind

why would the admiral use kids as his "goldens" not trustworthy adults? i feel kids are too immature

Unwind

i wonder why connor felt so attached to the baby and needed to save it?

Unwind part 1

I didn't like lev. He was too much of a goody two shoes. He seemed like it he was going to be the reason everyone of them got caught.

Part 3

This part of the book shows you where all these kids having been discussing safety house is and what exactly the graveyard is.

Unwind part 4

I like when all the kids are talking about what body parts they wanted and whose body parts they wanted to go where. Lev is also not that good kid he used to be, he's now a bad kid.

Unwind part 5

The characters all change in this part of the story. I like the Admiral, he seems to be a big factor of the kids safety now. 

Unwind part 6

I did not expect Lev to blow the Chop Shop up. He didn't seem like the type of person to do that. I thought he was gonna stay true to his tithing and just get it over with with no problems.

Unwind part 7

The end of the book I didn't expect at all. I told Connor was going to be unwound and did not think Connor would end up getting Roland's arm. That's kind of ironic. 

Unwind part 7

I think Unwind had potential to be a really awesome book. I wish the author built upon the futuristic idea more. I feel that was a bit neglected. There was also a lot of closure. The ending didn't leave any room for interpretation. I think as high school students, we are inclined to look deeper, something this particular book didn't really offer.
