Description:wars, are they meaningful or pointless? should we honor the victories despite the lives we took? or the lives we lost? A lot of people die during wars and it makes us question wether it is worth it or not. Is there any other way to settle things?

free verse poem

they spear us
they clip us
they hold us
they injure us
they won the game
they beat us down
they wore us out
they played unfair

iceland volcano found poem

Volcano
Eruption
Lava flow
Halted flights
Plumes of lava
Cataclysmic
Steaming-hot stones
1,200 degrees
Mother natures bad side

tonka poem

dexteriods he says
thats what he loves to call me
he thinks he is cool
by making up names for me
mikkel needs to grow up soon

Practice

Practically torture
Rain fuels the fire
Allways repetitive
Covered in blood
Tired and worn
Innocent young men they
Claim to be
Except we were sent here for a reason

Full Back

Five yards off the center
Underestimated value
Lined up behind the halfbacks
Like the quarterbacks personal bodyguard

Blindside blocker
Attack the gap
Cover the outside linebacker
Kill the defensive

I worry about him

“Back off, you don’t have to try and sit on my lap,” I say to him almost every day followed by the most annoying noise: the sound of his chair scooting closer. The same thing happens almost every day. I worry about him.

A lonely boy he must be, feeling the need to get close to another guy. I worry about him

Laps, he must be obsessed with my lap. It’s constant and even after he moves away he comes right back. I worry about him.

Boys, he must be obsessed with boys. He never does this to girls. I worry about him.

Only me, he must be obsessed with me. I don’t know why he does this to me. I worry about him.

Ah poor moises, is he confused about himself? Or is he just freakishly attracted to me like a magnet. Oh how I worry about him.

opinion of Lord Of The Flies

I thought the book was good and a great way to show people what could happen if you get stranded on an island, it showed how at one point everyone would be okay with one leader but later on would need to separate much like how America was born. I also notice while it was just Ralph Samneric and Piggy that it related to Job, god took all his things away in a bet with the devil to see if he would still have faith. Much like God Jack took away his people, his fire, and Ralph had almost no food. But he still had faith in being rescued from the island witch ended up happening.

Not your average choir boy

Simon is a bit more of a mysterious character and "always about" says Jack. He is not trying to impress anyone unlike Jack. He relates a litttle bit to piggy, they are both overlooked. Simon always stays out of the arguements and tends to stay inbetween both sides.

Simon has stage fright, he is not able to speak to a large group of people like the others without feeling presure. He can't make it seem like he is just talking to one person. I don't understand that if Simon was in the chior he would have to sing in front of many people but now he can't even talk to them.

Simon may have known jack before they were evacuated, Simon and Jack were both in the chior but we do not know if they were friends or not. If they participated in the same activities together they should have known each other.

As we get further through the story we notice simon change in many ways. Now Simon has become used to the environment and is taking the outdoors better. Simon now sides with Ralph instead of Jack his previous leaders.

In this story Simon takes the role of a godly figure. He keeps the island in balance and I think in the end he will have to make a sacrifice.
