How To Clean Your Room
This blog post is on how to clean your room. It can be hard to clean your room when you don't know where to start. First, you try to organize things. You make a pile of my clothes, trash, and whatever else is on your floor. You then put all of those piles away. After you do that, your room looks much cleaner.
After you pick up, you make my bed. Next, you clean your closet. It is hardest to clean your closet, because it gets messy fast. You fold your clothes and put them in your drawers. Then you have to hang clothes. That is my least favorite part. Once that is done, You put my shoes away. Then you are finished!

One of the most important scenes in Lord Of The Flies is when Simon is talking to the pig head. The pig head is called The Lord Of The Flies. It is called this because there are flies surrounding his head. The pig represents the devil in some ways. Beelzebub is considered to be Satan or Satan's right hand man. The weird thing is that Beelzebub is a fly just like Lord Of The Flies. He tries to make sure there is chaos on the island.
In the scene, Simon is talking to the pig head. Simon wants to go to the top of the island, but the pig wants him not to because he knows the dead body is there. If Simon sees the dead body he will know that there isn't really a beast. That is bad for the pig because the pig wants chaos. Also, the pig tells Simon he will die if he goes up there. It turns out that he goes up there and he does die. This scene is like the part in the Bible when Jesus is temped in the desert by the devil. This scene is very important because this is why the book was named Lord Of The Flies and it has a lot of allusions.

Family Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a wonderful time. It is when the weather is cooler, the leaves change color, and we give thanks. One of my family traditions is to go to our hunting camp. We have a huge lunch and dinner in the main hall. All of our immediate and extended family is their along with our close family friends that we call family. We all visit because we don't get to see each other very often. We also play cards, go four wheeling, and swim in the creek even though it is chilly. Finally, the day after the dinner all the men and some of the girls go hunting.
After the big hunt, we all go to the cleaning shed to see what everyone killed. It's kind of gross there, so we don't stay there long. We then go back to the camp and start a bonfire. It's is huge, warm, and brings everyone together. We roast marshmallow and tell stories. Then all the kids usually, go play soccer or capture the flag or something. It is a good time to spend with family and be thankful for everyone around.

The world, that understandable and lawful world, was slipping away. Once there was this and that; and now--and the ship had gone. [... Jack refusing to give Piggy the floor when he has the conch...]
"The rules!" shouted Ralph. "You're breaking the rules!"
"Who cares?"
Ralph summoned his wits.
"Because the rules are the only thing we've got!"
But Jack was shouting against him.
"Bollocks to the rules! We're strong--we hunt! If there's a beast, we'll hunt it down! We'll close in and beat and beat and beat--!" (91)

This certain section of the book shows how Jack is going wild by not having any civilization. Ralph on the other hand is smart and still wants to remain in their old ways of rules and being civil. Piggy is the one that is trying to make listen, but no one cares what he has to say. I feel bad for Piggy and think he needs a chance. Jack needs to calm down and think of other people. I agree with Ralph. If I had to look from Jack's side, I would he is looking for more long term survival with hunting.
This passage is important to the book because it shows how everyone's sanity is different.It shows how Jack is losing control and forgetting how they need rules. Ralph still has most of his sanity, but it was hard for him that the boat was gone. Finally, Piggy shows that it is urgent to have organization and it shows that he is growing impatient with Jack. This whole passage shows person vs person and person vs self.
Own prompt
Write two paragraphs on how to keep up with school.
It is important to keep up with school because if you don't you get behind and don't do as well. To do this I use my time wisely at school. For example, I have study hall and during that class I do as much homework as I can. I usually finish all of that night's homework, so when I get home I try to get ahead.
Another way to keep up with school is to focus in class. It is easier to listen in class and understand when someone is explaining than having to learn on your own. Also, if you don't listen in class it takes more time at home. If you do get behind in a class you can always call a friend that knows what is going on. Sometimes it is better to study with a friend. That works for me most of the time, but sometimes I need to study alone.
