Lord of the Flies

                                                  Lord of the Flies Task 1 part 3
        
We found positive in this novel when the boys are rescued and in the beginning were there sense of civilization pops up. We found the death of Simon most negative in the book, also the whipping of Samneric. Half the tribe turning into savages was negative too. When Jack decided to start his own tribe is when the negativity started to form. The killing of Piggy for no apparent reason was a negative attribute to the book. We think that Roger is the most negative character in the book, because he was a sadist and enjoyed torturing people. Following behind Roger is Jack as the second most negative character. We think his negativity is when he lost being chief of the island. What also made Jack mad was when Ralph yelled at him for not letting the fire go out while he was hunting and told him hunting was not as important as the fire.                                                                                              
        Some positive attributes are; when Ralph stood his ground and did not become a savage, also when the marine officer asked him who was in charge and Ralph said he was. When they find the conch the use it as the symbol as their order. Something else we found negative in the first time they tried to find and kill a pig and failed trying the first time yelling, ‘kill the pig, cut his throat bash him’. Another that we found interesting is that even though Piggy was the smartest he was still rejected multiple times. We found some interesting facts in the book one of them was how they used science to make a lever to knock the boulder down the hill to kill Piggy. Another was when they managed to kill Simon with their bare hands and feet just because they were scared.


                                                                      Task 2 part 1 

         We were asked to write about the good and evil within people in books like Lord of the Flies.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee:
Reason why Bad: Boo Radly tries to stab his father.
Reason why Good: Boo Radly saves Scout in gym.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins:
Reason why Bad: Because people have no with kids killing each other.
Reason why Good: Katniss volunteers for her sister.
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
Reason Why Bad:  Smaug in The Hobbit is the epitome of evil, as he kills relentlessly and all he lives for is greed and the treasures that he cannot use. 
Reason Why Good: Bilbo Baggins, as he goes with dwarves to the Lonely Mountain to recapture it
The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
Reason Why Good:  Frodo Baggins, who, along with eight companions, embarks on a long and dangerous quest to destroy the ring.
Reason Why Bad: And, along with it, Sauron himself.
Goblin Secrets by William Alexander
Reason Why Bad: Only goblins are allowed to perform plays, because they’re not considered human.
Reason Why Good: Rownie saves his older brother
Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
Reason Why Bad: Harry’s parents die when he is a baby, killed by the evil wizard and primary villain, Voldemort.
Reason why Good: Harry becomes a hero and kills Voldemort even though he is a part of him
Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan
Reason Why Bad: Luke betrays his friends and goes with Cronus
Reason Why Good: Percy Jackson decides to save the camp
Gone by Michael Grant
A girl Shot fire liquid and caused the school to set on fire
Sam temple decided to organize fights against his brother Caine
Eragon by Christopher Paolini
Reason why Bad: King Galbatorix has no other motivation then to bring evil to the world
Reason Why Good: Eragon Decides To help save evil
The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
Mr. Tumnus was diabolical and tried to kill Lucy by scheming and putting her to sleep but  he had a change of heart
The Four Kids save Narnia with a turn of heart.
                                                                    Task 2 Part 2

We think that William Golding’s statement is true because if you do look in the newspaper there is no problem finding bad news but it’s really hard to find good news over the past century there has been nothing but terrible news so much shootings that America is thinking about banning guns from America. So many people have died from either a bullet to the chest or being blown up by a grenade. This maybe couldn’t happen if people would go to school. That’s right go to school I mean look at it this way, if there was kids learning about  different religions, cultures, and races. We could know what not to do to offend someone. We also could learn how to solve problems that could lead to world peace. When we look up good words like right, well behaved, and proper describes good. When we look up the word evil words like diabolical, despicable describes evil, but looking on to those things we can all prove that both Jack and Ralph were both of those things. Jack was more nice and proper towards the beginning of the book Lord of the Flies and at the end he was more evil. Same with Ralph, but the evil thing he did was help kill Simon. Like Roger when he rolled the boulder to kill Piggy.

  2. Too jumbled, no order to your thoughts. You should have a section of positives, a section of negatives, and a section of parts you found particularly interesting.
