Then they enforced some laws like who was chief, hunter leader, and whoever holds the conch as priority of speaking. Ralph gets obsessed with having a fire and jack with hunting. They use Piggys glasses to light the fire. The smallest boys the littluns have a nightmare about a beast on the island one of them described it as a snake like thing. One night when they had the fire  on the mountain it got out of hand and burnt part of the island one of the boys died. Threw out the book jack got way to much into hunting to were he wasn't watching the fire when it was his turn to watch it which could have saved to the boys on the island because a ship went by but there was no fire. One of the boys named roger was the meanest on the island he would bully the smaller boys and throw rocks to hit and miss. After a while jack started becoming a savage painting his face cutting off the head of a pig and jabbing it on a stick he slowly started becoming uncivialized. There was a boy called simon who was the Most calm he would find a place so he could chill and be peaceful and be mellow. After a while the boys became savages they started seeing things. Simon would see the dead pig head talking to him. The pig head wormed him something bad was going to happen.

The next day Simon had been killed by the boys after that jack and his tribe  had gotten out of control started to steal Ralph's fire and Piggys glasses which got piggy mad so the two tribes fought and piggy died. They catch samneric and plan to kill Ralph next Ralph runs away tries to avoid them. Ralph hides in thick grass  so they smoke him put and burn the island and so a naval ship sees the burning island and finds the boys and saves them.

2)the theme of this book is survival. Survival is the team because that's what 

The boys need to do. And Ralph shows that when he avoids them when they try to kill him. And jack survival is the reseaon he hunts.

3) I didn't chose this book it was assigned to read in class and home. The book didn't seem really appealing to me a first but as I read it got intersting because it has to do with survival of the fittest. In the end I enjoyed reading the book.

4) yes I do find this book realistic because boys could be stuck on an island. Humans can turn against each other to survive harsh conditions. When I went camping my group and I had to hike a mile up a hill full thorn bushes that hurt really bad to get to our destination the conditions were harsh so we did what ever we could.

5)the authors tone is suspenseful he has people dieing. Hunting food trying to survive then hunting each other and the unexpected deaths.

6)internal conflict:"maybe he means it's some sort if ghost"(89)

External:" you didn't ought to have let that fire out. You said you'd keep the smoke going—"(71)

Setting:" this is an island"(7)

Foreshadowing: "we need meat"(71)

Exposition:the exposition is when jack forms his own tribe.

Flashback:"S'right. It's a shell! I seen one like that before. On someone's back wall.

Flat character:Piggy

Static character:jack

Motivation: is being home, so they have to try to survive

7) characterization

"—meat—"142

"—To a feast—"142

"He's a hunter"143

"Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Spill the blood."69

2) the author diction changes when he talks about simon because he is more calm and mellow.

3) the protagonist in the story is both flat and static because as he tries to get off the island he becomes better at certain things.

4)after reading this book I do feel like I have gotten closer to some character and I can elate to them like piggy being bullied fat and needing glasses, or like jack getting into hunting, and simon being calm and mellow.

ENDURING PARAGRAPH

The part of the story o won't forget is when piggy dies that part of the book was so shocking and sad. Piggy was like the nicest and weakest on the island why he die. I won't forget the end of the story either because how they had lost hope of getting off the island but they manage to get of when you don't expect it like the way the officer saw them fighting burning the island.

Literary analysis #2 Maus

1) In the beginning of the book Art goes to his father Vladek's house to interview his father because he is going to write a book about his fathers life and how it was for him during the Holocaust. He begins the story by starting on how he met his mother Anja. Anja is in a wealthy family which helps him start his own textile factory. They live in Poland around the same years as WW2. After the birth Art his mom struggled of post-partum depression. So they go to Czechoslovakia so she can get attended there. Threw out there way there the see what's going on with the Nazi and what there doing in Central Europe. In Czechoslovakia there wasn't really any nazi yet, so they were safe. As they return to Poland his factory has been messed with. Once the war begins Vladek goes to war to fight for Poland. He gets captured as a Prisoner Of War by the Germans. He gets sent to a POW Camp. When he returns back to  Poland the Germans have taken over and they spread like there naziism. He loses his factory. He try's to make a living on the black market. Vladek and Anna were sent to different concentration camps with a lot of Jews, but they got separated and where sent to different ones. They send there boy To stay with a relative in a polish city. The relative dies and feeds poison to Richieu and her own kids so that the nazi would get them. Because of Vladeks skills he manages to get his wife to transfer with him in Auschwitz. The Germans decide to move them with as well as the Jews to a different more extreme camp. He catches the typhus fever and gets moved. There the Germans take him and other prisoner by the Sweden borders to be exacted but the Americans show up so the Germans ran Vladek and the prisoners hide in a farm and get rescued by the Americans.

After hearing his father story Art get closer to his dad and gets even more mad on her mom killing her self. But his dad remarried. In the end Art get suspicious about how after his first wife died he destroyed all her WW2 diaries.

2) The theme of this book I believe is Family. Because throughout the book the family goes threw tough situations in the holocaust such as separating, sent to a ghetto, concentration camps, and thingys like that but they still didn't get split apart. Vladek kept finding ways to get reunited with his wife no matter how hard the sotuation was.

3) I chose this book because it was a story about a WW2 survivor someone that was in the holocaust a survivor of it. The book also seemed intersting because it had picture so it was easy to visualize things. The book kept me reading because it seemed to get intense and realistic.

4) Yes I do find this book realistic because I have learned a lot about the holocaust and the concentration and death camps and also how it was to be in WW2. In my history class we learned a lot about the holocaust at the same time I was reading this book. I can relay to this book because Vladek did a lot to stay with his wife I would do the same if it were any of my family too.

5) The authors tone is curious and interested because he decides to write a novel about his dad and asks plenty of questions.

6) 

Foreshadowing: "Then we heard something to give us a little hope..."(62)

Internal conflict: "I stayed up a few days recuperating. But I was restless. How could I manage to sneak across the border to my family?"(63)

External conflict: "two days ago the Nazis marched them to a forest...."(61)

Setting:" so we live and worked a few weeks in the stable until they took us to an even bigger prisoner of war camp."(53)

Motivation: "How could I manage to sneak across the border to my family?"(63)

Flat character: "Orbach! Am I glad to see you!"(63)

Static character: " we should hang you right here on this spot."(51)

Flash back: the whole book is a flashback. Lol

Exposition: "They Marched me to where it was more like me. WAR PRISONERS."(49)

7) Characterization 

1- "you have never worked a day in your life!"(51)

I didn't know, of course, that he was communist.(27) 

"Like you, Artie, My hands were always very delicate"(51)

"I always kept fat away from communist people."(27)

2-

The author really focuses on Vladek when he becomes a POW.

3- The protagonists is flat in the book is Vladek it's a biography about him.

the antagonist are the Nazis in the story. "Well, Jew, don't worry, well find work for you!"(51)

4- 

I feel like I have seen the past of Vladek from this story like all of it. The book makes it feel like if I met him and like if I was there.

ENDURING PARAGRAPH

A memory I will always member is from this book is how Vladek was able to be strong enough to tell the story most people try to forget about the war. Vladek told us how it felt. How hard it was. How much effort it took. The second is when they capture him and send have him in a POW camp and not kill him.

Five ways on how you can improve your sprinting speed

Five ways on how you can improve your speed

Sprinting. "Sprinting is of major role in athletics". (line 1) Sprinting  has to do with athletics because if you want to get to the ball or finish line faster you sprint. Improving your sprints is great because if you can there faster than your opponent it raise your chances of winning. In order to increase your sprints you have to work hard, be dedicated, be determined, and listen to what my this is about!! 

Proper Posture. It's very important to have good posture at all times especially when running. If your not standing correctly, straight,or swinging your arms side to side when your running this May be slowing your speed down. Also if you work out your arms, chest, gluts, etc..., but don't work your legs it can also give you bad posture which can slow you down.

Speed Work. You won't be able to run faster if you practice running slow. You have to be practicing to run fast in order to get faster. If you want to sprint faster work on sprints and high intense running rather the a lot of condition and endurance.

Stride length. Making your strides longer can improve your sprint. By taking fewer steps and longer strides your sprint speed steps up by a bit more. Sprinting up hills increase stride lengths. Longer strides are very effective in a short distance race.

Decrease body fat. Chances are you won't be able to sprint if your carrying extra weight on you. To decrease body fat eat more healthy or fruits and veggies. If you keep eating foods that a amazing good that are also greasy can slow you down.

My Favorite Mistake

My favorite mistake

It was an early cold morning when my team and I had a game in Santa Barbara. We had arrived to to the soccer field late, tired and lazy because it was really early in the morning. So my team and I decided not to stretch out right. As an athlete it's important to stretch correctly. Throughout the game i started to feel some pain in my right thigh, but I decide to ignore it and play on.

The next week during our practice my leg hurt so much that I wouldn't be able to run or kick the ball. After a while it felt like a had a giant bruise on my thigh, so I had told my parents about it. My parents had took my to go see the doctor. The doctor had said that I had tore a ligament or a muscle. The doctor had sent me to a physical therapist. I  went a couple of times to physical therapist. I had also been going to some like home treatments to go get the muscle misgauged. My doctor had told me that I would need surgery in my thigh, and that I would never be able to play soccer. So the doctor wrote a not for my coach and PE teacher.

 So I had gotten depressed I stopped going to all the treatments and everything. After two months like a week before I was suppose to get my surgery. The a different doctor had told me that my thigh had made a recovery that I would need the surgery and that I would be able to play and run again. But I still had to rest my thigh for a bit. Since it's been a while since I had played my right leg had gotten weak.

After that mistake of not stretching my leg properly and messing up my leg. I decide to stretch better and take my time doing it.

Literally Analysis

1)Katniss is a rebel in district 13. She's was some of the members from the Quarter Quell, except for Peeta was captured by the Capitol and has been missing since after the Quarter Quell. After much angst, she decides to be the figurehead, the Mockingjay, for the rebel side. In return they give her invincibility for her friends and permission to kill the president.Katniss has to star in commercials for the rebel side, called propos. For one propo, she and a team that includes her old friend Gale are sent into District 2, where they see a hospital get destroyed. This inspires Katniss to call for justice. The Capitol gets mad because they get stronger, so they show them how Peeta is getting tortured. The Capitol also bombs district 13. Peeta wormed them that they would. The rebels get Peeta and others out of the Capitol, but Peeta got brainwashed. He thinks Katniss is bad so he try's to kill her as son has he's sees her. Once she recovers from Peeta's attack, Katniss needs to be part of the action. She heads back to District 2. Gale suggests weapons and strategies. During the battle that follows, Katniss gets shot. While recuperating, she bonds with Johanna, and witnesses the wedding of victors Finnick and Annie. After Katniss recovery she heads back. Katniss and rebels follow her on the mission but it's sucidal most of them died I'm the mission except  Katniss, Peeta, prim, Gale, and a couple others. Prim and some other rebels get killed. Katniss gets hurt again. The rebels capture snow. Katniss is mad at Gale because the weapons he created were ones that killed  prim. The war ends. President coin tell them to vote whether to vote if they should keep the hunger games or not.

2) The Theme of the story I think was  that fight for what you believe in no matter what the odds are. The author Susan Collins makes it intense because the she's make the rebels the underdogs go against the Capitol the stronger force.

3) I think the authors tone is very suspensive like with a lot of action. "I did, and she tried to kill me. She killed my friends. My family. Don't get near her! She's a mutt!" "When I saw that mountains fall tonight, I thought... They've done it again. Got me to kill you—the people in the districts" "I never wanted to kill you. Except when I thought you were helping the careers kill me. After that, I always thought of you as... An ally"

4)internal conflict (Katniss is mad at her self for letting people die so she's says " I killed you, And you, And you") external conflict (my name is Katniss Everdeen. I am 17. My home is district 12. I was in the hunger games. I escaped . The Capitol hates me. Peeta was taken prisoner. He is thought to be dead. Most likely he is dead. It is probably best if he is dead) exposion (Katniss has to join rebels to go against Capitol) resolution (" so why you going back to 12?"  " they can't seem to find a place for me in the Capitol either"

Antigone and Creon

Antigone and Creon



In the tragic story of Antigone by Sophocles. The story of Antigone, the king punishes anyone who tries to bury the "traitor": however, the traitor happens to also be his nephew. The king doesn't want anyone to bury him because he went a against his state according to the king. Antigone is Polynises sister, and she's is going to try to bury her brother and disobey the king. The conflict between Antigone and Creon result of both their similarities and differences in this tragic flaw.

The differences between Antigone and Creon are there loyalty. Antigone is loyal to her family and gods. "I will bury the brother I love".( scene 2. line 69). Antigone is loyal to her gods. "Which one of us can say what the gods hold wicked" (scene 3. Line 131). By that it means Creon will get punished for going against the gods laws. Creon is loyal to his state because he punishes anyone including his own family. "This girl is guilty of double insolence. Breaking the given laws and boasting of it". Creon is not loyal to his family because he doesn't let them bury Polynises.

The similarities between Antigone and Creon are there pride. "I do I deny nothing" Antigone tells Creon. Antigone tells Creon to arrest her because she's proud she buried her brother. Croons pride is to prove her wrong. Also to show the people there king is right. "You will give no support to whoever breaks this law" shows Creons arrogance. Their pride is important to both of them, even though they both have different thoughts on the others though of there pride.

 

Both Antigone and Creon are both to blame for this tragic mistake. Creon was very stubborn. He also said it was his way or no way. Antigone is also to blame for not listening. She could have also been secretive about burying Polynises.
