Journal Assignment, Chapter 6, Lord of the flies.

if this plane crash, REALLY happened... is this interpretation realistic?

I think, that if this plane crash really hapened, there's some probabilities that some people survive and they swim to the nearest piece of earth. But I think that if survive people it can be of all ages and both sex, not like the book that only survived boys. I think that they would try to find more survivors, choose a leader, make huts and try to get rescued, like in the book. Also I think that if really some people survive in a desert island they would make diferent groups and split tasks. At last I think that if they crashed on a plane they would be many ones of them hurt and not in perfect conditions like the book... But also exist the probability that no one survived a plane crash.

Quotes:

  • 'Fear can't hurt you any more than a dream. There aren't any beasts to be afraid of on this island....Serve you right if something did get you, you useless lot of cry-babies!"
  • "'Maybe there is a beast....maybe it's only us.'"

Journal Assignment, Chapter 3 and 4, Lord of the Flies.

Quotes chapter 3:

  • "Then, amid the roar of bees in the afternoon sunlight, Simon found for the fruit they could not reach... passed them back down to the endless, outstretched hands."
  • "The candle-buds opened their wide white flowers....Their scent spilled out into the air and took possession of the island."

Quotes chapter 4:

  • " Here was a space round Henry, perhaps six yards in diameter, into which he dare not throw. Here, invisible yet strong, was the taboo of the old life."
  • "He began to dance and his laughter became a bloodthirsty snarling." ( Jack )

Journal Assignment, Chapter 2, Lord of the Flies.

Quotes:

  • "Ralph sat on a fallen trunk, his left side to the sun. On his right were most of the choir; on his left the larger boys who had not known each other before...before him small children squatted in the grass."
  • "'We've got to have rules and obey them. After all, we're not savages. We're English, and the English are best at everything.'"

Journal Assignment, Chapter 1

Lord of the Flies.


Summary

At first moment the fair boy encounters with the fat one, and they discuss about their plane crashing. They find no adults on the island, and also they don't find their plane, or the pilot. They tough that maybe other kids survived, and they are in another place... The fat boy now is called piggy (like in his school), and the fair one is Ralph. Finally they find a conch shell and they tried to blew it. When Ralph do it, a great mass of kids survivors start to appear...

Quotes

  • "'I don't care what call me so long as... what they used to call me in school...They used to call me Piggy!"
  • "something dark...fumbling along....The creature was a party of boys, marching approximately in...two parallel lines...."

Disscussion Questions

  1. The kids are going to eat piggy?
  2. Have other people reached to the island?
  3. Is a desert island?

Prediction

I think they are going to make some rules to keep all the boys in order... obviously search for food.

Reaction

I think that piggy will not survive in the island... Because he is weak, and without surviving skill, he couldn't even blew that conch cause of his "ass-mar"

First day at the village school and First day at school in Barbados
in the first day at the Village school the boy prepare in a very normal way I think, the sister wake up the boy that is going to be at school, the boy don`t want to go to school and he`s questioning  a lot the things that he`s sister say. In another way the mom prepare the boy that is going to the school in Barbados, the boy doesn`t seems uncomfortable about school, actually he`s thinking what he is going to be in the future, but he`s mother want to he be something better that he is expecting.


The Village School sistem of classes was very different about education in Barbados, because village school is a very little one and the oldest students help the teachers to take care the younger ones, and in the Barbados school I think the education is greatbut the expectations of the kid aren't bigger than he`s mom and the level of education of the school.

In my opinion i think that the two schools were very different between education systems and structure... the comparisson can be a way of seing the society in ours days that one extreme have very good education and de other extreme of de society have a regular or bad education.
