Symbolism

  It was Christmas eve and Tina Jefferson was leaving the house to go out with her friend Brian. Tina's dad was yelling at her because he was saying that it is Christmas eve and you shouldn't be out. Tina didn't listen and went to go meet Brian at the restaurant anyway. Once Tina got to the restaurant she spotted Brian at a booth. She walked over and sat down across from him. He asked how she was doing and she said she was doing fine. The waiter came by and Tina and Brian placed their order. Then Brian started talking about his boss and Tina started to be less interested because she saw a family at the table behind Brian. She soon realized she made a mistake about leaving her family on Christmas eve to go out and have dinner with a friend. Tina said she had to go and went home to be with her family. 

  The symbolic message in this story is that family comes first. Tina realized she needed to see her parents because they won't be around forever and you only get so many Christmas'. This is the overall message of the story. 

How To

  Imagine you're in a basketball game and you have the ball and your going to the rim. Your just about to make the shot three feet away from the rim until a defender fouls you. You miss the shot but you go to the free throw to shoot two shots. I am about to tell you good mechanics of shooting free throws.

  First, you line yourself up at the free throw line with your feet should about shoulder-width apart. Make sure you don't pass the free throw line when you shoot. Second, after the referee has given you the ball you hold the ball in your shooting form and get ready to shoot. Third, you shoot the ball and make sure you hold your release and put back spin on the ball. This will hopefully help you be a better free throw shooter.

Free Post: Thanksgiving

  Thanksgiving is probably my second favorite time of the year after Christmas. I love eating great food and visiting with my family. I also enjoy having a week off of school. 

  Every year I go to my aunt and uncle's house on my Dad's side of the family to go eat Thanksgiving their. My aunt makes a good corn casserole and Cranberry dressing. Almost everybody from my Dad's side of the family is there to visit. After I eat and visit with my Dad's side of the family, my Dad takes me to go meet my Mom somewhere and my Mom takes my brother and me to her parents house in Pass Christian, Mississippi for Thanksgiving, where I usually say high to my relatives and just play with my cousins since I've already eaten. This is what I do for my Thanksgiving holiday. 

LOFT Critical Scene

  A critical scene in Lord of the Flies that I think that matters to the novel in a critical way is Piggy's death and the conch breaking on page 181. I think this is such a critical scene because this was such a dramatic scene in the book, a death of a main character, and the end of a symbolic item. What I think we need to understand from this scene is that this scene is very important and places a role for the rest of the book. 

  What I think readers need to notice from this scene is that Jack has became a complete savage with putting a defensive system with boulders and trying to kill Ralph. What I think readers need to ask questions about on this scene is why Jack has become so obsessed with killing. I think this scene is important as a whole to the novel is that this scene is has so much drama in it because Piggy as been in the novel since Chapter 1 and the conch became the symbolic object that united all the boys in the first place and both Piggy and the conch are now dead now. This is why I think this scene is critical to the novel

Prompt

Prompt: What and describe the most memorable moment that has happened in your life so far and why is memorable. 

  The most memorable moment in my life so far is when I went to Chicago earlier this year. I stayed in Chicago for the LSU v.s Wisconsin game in Green Bay, Wisconsin. I had lots of fun on this trip going to the LSU game and going to see the Chicago Cubs who won the World Series this year. I also had lots of fun by just sight seeing Chicago. 

  The reason this memory is very memorable is maybe because I went to a very historic football field or went to a very famous city. To me the most significant reason why this memory is memorable is because I went on this trip with my mom who has n't been on a trip with me in a long time. This is why this memory is memorable to me. 

LOFT Reading Response

  The section in chapter 8 that I read and analyzed was the part on page 91. This section in chapter 8 describes how Jack is starting to be unhappy with Ralph and his rules. Jack is starting to believe that he can be a better leader than Ralph and just wants to hunt. Jack is also realizing that Ralph doesn't do anything but tell rules to the other boys while he goes out and hunts and offers protection to the other boys. 

  I think Jack is over reacting because I think Ralph is doing a good job with the island by making a shelter and fire. Jack keeps thinking about hunting but Ralph is thinking about the ultimate goal which is going home. If I was Ralph I would let Jack go off to his own spot on the island, which he eventually does, because Jack only thinks about hunting and nothing else while Ralph has all the rules and the fire. This is what I think about this section in this part of The Lord of the Flies.
