Lord of the Flies Reading Response

Lord of the Flies has been an extremely interesting book to read. Over the course of the story it shows us how the characters interact with each other and how the get along on the island. The kids have no parents to help them, so it's all on them to survive. To survive until rescue, it is necessary for the kids to work as a team and each take on their own jobs.

As you get further into the book tensions start to rise. They need to build shelters and hunt for food, but most importantly the boys need to keep the fire going, for it is their only chance in getting rescued. A ship comes near but there is no fire lit, therefor no smoke, and no way of being rescued. The ship passes them by and their chance of rescue goes with it. Most kids are las and aren't doing their jobs. This causes tension and problems on the island and causes them to function less as a team.

    I also have the same thoughts with the book as you. They really do not know how to work together.

Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina was an extremely destructive and deadly cyclone and is ranked among the five deadliest hurricanes in the history of the United States. This hurricane disrupted many citizens lives in the south and ruined most of their belongings, maybe all they had. This left many people with no homes and the feeling of loss.  Hurricane Katrina was the largest and 3rd strongest hurricane ever recorded to make landfall in the United States.  In New Orleans, the levees were designed for Category 3 hurricanes, but Katrina was at a Category 5 hurricane, with winds up to 175 mph. The levees ended up breaking and flooding the city of New Orleans. I pray for the families that lost loved ones or that are still recovering from this horrific event. I also pray that we all stay safe during this hurricane season.

200. How do you use Wikipedia?

Wikipedia is described as a "multilingual, web-based, free-content encyclopedia project supported by the Wikimedia Foundation and based on a model of openly editable content." Basically it is a single website that has any answer you could ask for. This website is extremely easy to gather information, but it also has some catches. It is openly editable to all people which means that some people can post on this website even if they are not fully qualified to speak on the topic. Many students may want to go straight to Wikipedia to get their information because it is extremely easy, simple, and mindless. However, this may not always be the best option. You may receive false information and this will come back to hurt you after turning in your assignment. I us wikipedia to maybe get a general topic overview, but I do not use this site to gather all the information needed for my assignment. It is better to dive deeper into your research and find reliable sources from people wh
