Reading Response to Lord of the Flies

  I am currently on Chapter 3 in Lord of the Flies. The book's narrator started off a little confusing but I got it figured out. The book has an interesting story line and setting. The story also has interesting characters.

  This book has been interesting to me so far. I like how the author is using human nature in this story. For example, Jack is starting to have a rivalry with Piggy and it is becoming a big part in the story. This is what I think of Lord of the Flies so far.

Lord of the Flies Human Nature

  My thoughts about human nature are that humans are full of possibility. What I mean from this is that all humans can choose what they can do with their life. All humans have the possibility to be good, bad, and loving. 

  What led me to this belief was that I see this everyday. I see parents and kids loving each other, I see people being good to their elders, and I see bad things like kids not respecting their parents. All of these characteristics can change because humans are full of possibility. This is what I think human nature is.

Fall Break Free Post

  This fall break was pretty boring for me. I stayed at home basically the whole time watching T.V and playing my Playstation. I only went out of my house to go to basketball practice on Thursday morning and to eat out a couple of times. 

  Overall I think think this Fall Break was okay. I had fun watching the LSU football game and playing the playstation with my brother. I wish I could've gotten out of the house more and did more active activities. All in all I had a pretty good time on my couch this Fall Break. 

Reading Response Quarter 2 Week 1

This past week I got to chapter 31 in my independent reading book Fake ID. So far the book is still interesting to me to this point. I like how the author is now using characters that started out with less important roles now with bigger roles. I also like how the author is still keeping the mystery and drama in the book. What I don't like what the author is doing is that he is not staying with the main idea of the story and keeps adding unimportant information that is not relevant to the main cause of the story.

  I think the author is going to keep the drama and the mystery in the book. I also hope too read more detail involving Nick's dad's job. And also how the author plans to describe the events that already have happened but not have been described and how the friendship between Nick and Reya will play a part in the main idea of the story.

Response to Article

  The article "Should We Abandon Louisiana?" by Zach Kopplin is about Louisiana after the flooding in August and what Louisiana residents should do. The disaster left 13 dead and about 40,000 homes destroyed.  Kopplin writes about the struggle of the people who lost their homes and what they should do. Kopplin also writes how there was a lack of social media covering the flood unlike Hurricane Sandy.

  The biggest point to me that Kopplin writes about is that "we should rebuild Louisiana." Kopplin writes that lots of people have given up on their homes and don't have the money to rebuild their homes. I think we should not rebuild Louisiana because of the culture and the history that Louisiana has. I also think the government should help out with the people that have lost their homes due to the flood. Overall I think this was a well written passage and I think Louisiana will overcome the flood.

Free Response Week 6

  From the beginning of September to late January is one of the greatest times of the year for me because it is college football season. I like waking up on a Saturday morning watching College Football Game Day. I like going outside to throw the football with my brother in my front yard. The greatest thing I like about college football is watching LSU.

  This year LSU had great expectations but so far they have come up short. Lots of people had LSU winning the National Championship this year but I think we can't now. LSU has lost to Wisconsin and Auburn by less than a touchdown. Last night LSU beat Missouri 42-7 without their star running back Leonard Fournette. LSU's record now is 3-2 and hopefully they could win the rest of their games and maybe make it to the College Football Playoff.
