LOFT response

     "The fire's the most important thing. Without the fire we can't be rescued. I'd like to put on war-paint and be savage. But we must keep the fire burning. The fire's the most important thing on the island, because ---" He paused again and the silence became full of doubt and wonder. Piggy  whispered urgently. "Rescue." "Oh yes. Without fire we can't be rescued. So we must stay by the fire and make smoke." (142)      I picked this passage because there are two meaningful parts, that represent a bigger understanding. First is the fire, Ralph shows how important it is for a fire to be made. If there is not a fire then there is no smoke. The smoke is supposed to be a signal for ships passing by the island. If there is no smoke, then it leads to the chance of the boys never getting rescued. This is why the fire is an important aspect of the story. The second part which is significant is Ralph's forgetfulness. Ralph keeps on stat...

Research Post

     My research topic is on Queen Hatshepsut achievements during her reign. Queen Hatshepsut was one of the seven women to rule Egypt as a female pharaoh. Queen Hatshepsut made Egyptian history impressive, by being the most successful female pharaoh to rule. She brought prosperity, peace, great art and great monuments to her kingdom. Though, what made her rule so successful were her building projects. Queen Hatshepsut built quite a few monuments such as the Karnak Temple and her remarkable mortuary temple. The mortuary temple called the Deir el-Bahri is her most famous building projects. The Deir el- Bahri contains major events that had happened during Hatshepsut life.

The Egyptians had brought back many valuable goods to Egypt. This expedition also marked the first successful transportation of foreign fauna. Th...

Lord of the Flies

     The book Lord of the Flies is an interesting story. The plot and the details of this book are very much vividly given. What I enjoy about this book so far is the characteristics of the characters, and what their view of the "beast" is. Such as Simon, Simon is known for the book to be "strange" and "shy," and his belief of the beast are odd as well. Simon believes that mankind is the beast, on page eighty-nine he states "maybe it's only us." This belief gives us an idea that maybe the beast is only in the imagination of the boys. Another character that I find interesting is Piggy. Piggy is known to be that character that no one takes seriously. His asthma and his ideas make all the boys in the book irritated of him. Piggy's view of the beast is peculiar as well. He does not believe in the beast but is afraid of people. On the page, eighty-four Piggy says "unless we are frightened of people." Piggy is the only one in the book...
