#6 grade 10 english

  In this chapter it really got me thinking about the beastie. I can't tell yet if the beastie is going to be a part of the young kids imagination or an actual beast stalking the boys around the island. I dislike how in the book Piggy is constantly being walked on by the other boys. They other boys used Piggy for his glasses to start a fire but by the way they took them was by force without asking him. Piggy isn't treated as well as he should be, because he is an impotant member on the island Piggy is very smart which is useful on the island. The island still seems very out of order and savage because everybody does what they won't and doesn't respect the island rules.

  When ever someone does something good I think it is for their personal satisfaction. when people do something good they will usually get some reconition, people crave getting this. When you see someone who needs it is easy to feel sympathtic and the need to help will kick in. If you do something nice for someone you will be known is more of a good person and others will be more likely to help you out when you need it. Guilt also plays a big role in doing good deads because when you see someone in need of help and ingnore it you will often be thinking about what you could have done later and wishing you could go back and change the event. People like attention and doing good things is a way to get positive attention.

   To me bullying comes from the conflicts between people. Bullying still happens because people let it happen everyday. It is able to happen because people don't know how to handle it. If you are being bullied, if you tell someone it can only help abit, if you want it to stop you have to stand up for yourself. I think there is a difference between bullying in boys and girls. When boys bully other people it is more commonly physical and in girls it is more emotional. It is stereotypical to assume that boys don't use emotional bullying and girls don't use physical because they both do. People will always knock others down because there is some people who enjoy doing it and others who let this happen.

  The story of Lord of the Flies so far isn't that intresting to me. The first chaper was kinda boring but nessesary to intoduce the characters. The beggining of the book starts to set the mood and setting for what the book is going to be. It has been iching at me that the real name of Piggy wasn't mentioned in the first chapter of the book. In this chapter it seems like the boys are not worried about being trapped on the island and are taking it as more of a vacation than the disaster it really is.

 For my memoir I chose to do it on my trip to Quebec. I chose to do this because I am not one to leave far from home and it was the farthest I have went other then florida when I three. Since I was three when I last somewhere it wasn't very memerable for me. Being in the lauretion mountain range was something I had never seen before so it was exciting to me. This is always going to stand out as a memerable moment in my life so I thought it was perfect for my memoir.

#1 gr 9 English

1 gr 9 English
one abiding memory from your Engish class of last year.....
 
  One abiding memory I have from taking grade nine english is reading cue for treason. I remember being assigned a chapter to read for the next day and putting it off until the last minute to do the reading. When I would start reading the book my eyes would feel heavy and I would slowely start falling asleep. I had trouble keeping up with the reading because the book did not intrest me, not one bit at all. This was probably the hardest unit in english class because I had trouble getting my self to read the book. I don't remember much about grade nine english but I do remember this book.
