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
- The kids are going to eat piggy?
- Have other people reached to the island?
- 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.

Survey topic:
Lost and Found Technology devices:
With our survey about this topic we want to find out some behavior that people perform when they find or lost a technology device, in this instance particullary a cell phone; so we will considerate what I do if a lost my cell phone, We mean, what steps should I follow to find it or just ensure my cell phone. Also we want to know about what peolple do if they find a cell phone, do they share cell phone´s information with friends?, do they keep the cell phone?, and things like that.
We think our topic is very related with ethics, because if you find for example a cell phone in the street obviously you will take it but you will think, should I keep it? or Should I return it to the owner?; also when you already have the cell phone you think, must I view the information of the owner? or I just keep it away of my eyes; and when I have the information of the owner you can share it with your friends or things like that.

1st Impressions Diary Entries
-1st day of SchoolI was in pre kinder when I enter Mackay school. Typically like all the children, on my first day I was crying because i want to go home, I was like afraid from school and what can happen inside of it without my parents protection. That first day I make a good friend until 8th grade, I meet him because he was in the same table than I. There in pre-kinder we learned our first basic english words, like cookie, airplane and dog, we learned all this by some games to practice basic words. Also I remember Matias Weitz who was in the same garden than I as well. In that moment i was hating school, well also i do now, but without it i would never met my friends.
- The day you met your best friend
I met my best friend in 2nd grade here in Mackay School. He is called Jorge Silva and he, in that time, living near the school, so his dog sometimes escape from his house and come by the school. Jorge in 5th grade change from school but we always see each other in weekends. Until now we meet always. He was one of the tallest of the class, and with brown hair and eyes. I think he is a very good friend, comprensive, generous and funny.
-My first impression of my Class teacher Juan Parra was that he was young, good for jokes, and like some sort of business-man, because you see him and you imagine like a good-looked business-man that will sell you some product while he make you laugh. But he doesn't was a business man, he was a philosophy teacher, very serious, but the ones who now when to laugh and when to be serious. He is very compressive, because "he put on the other shoes" and he think what he is going to say. He is very reflexive on what he gonna do, he is a great teacher.
