LOTF

Lord of the Flies is a very interesting book about human nature. If a crisis did happen to the world or a small group of people and all rule was taken away what kind of people would we be? Some people like Ralph or Jack have taken control but in different ways. Jack is more insane and is a savage hunter who loves killing things. Ralph has been voted chief without any concern. The book has been very interesting because there are only boys on this island with no rules or supervision. They really can do whatever they want and then maybe they will be judged by another boy.

The author has a different way of writing than what I am used to. There are a lot of times where I wonder who is talking and what part of the island are they on. Also, there are some repetitive comments about the conch and the fire. The fire is the number one priority to Ralph because it is their only chance to get off the island and get rescued. Overall this book is entertaining but also can get confusing on what is going on.

    The writing is also different than from what I normally read too. I like how you included the characters and how they are different from each other. Good job 👍🏼

    I agree with the who is talking problem. There are a lot of things that are repeated in history as well.

Author: Brian Schwartz The article I read was about the senate race in Florida between Rick Scott and Bill Nelson. This race is supposed to be the most expensive senate race ever. In this case money matters and both candidates have plenty of money because they are both receiving so many donations. The reason Scott has so many money is because he was apart of a group based in Southern Florida. This was a political action committee. They have already raised 1.7 million and he had a huge donation of $250,000 from a supportive group. Nelson could win because he has a bank of his own. His campaign had raised 10 million through the early months of 2018 and also have an extra 8 million on the side. A popular bank named Regions has given him $114,000. The downside was his background when he was a CEO of a healthcare company. He defrauded taxpayers and was asked to step down and leave the company. In the investigation they found nothing and did not charge him with anything. Title: Big m

On November 25, 2017, the last weekend of the college football regular season was here. This was considered rivalry weekend. Alabama was playing the mighty Tigers of Auburn. Also, the LSU Tigers were playing the Aggies of Texas A&M. The Aggies were not a talented team but also had a very annoying fan base. The Wisconsin Badgers were ranked number five and were not in the college football playoff rankings.  The Badgers had a perfect season with no losses. The number four and three teams had one loss. The Auburn and Alabama game was a close first half. The second half was favored by Auburn. In a tough game, Auburn handed the Crimson Tide their first loss. Meanwhile, the LSU Tigers won against the Aggies and was not a close game. This was a good day because the Tigers won and the Crimson Tide lost.

There are two shows I am watching on Netflix right now. Both of them have to do with a crisis that has happened to them. One has happened to the world and another just happened to a large group. There are leaders that have expressed  their ideas and plans to get through the problems. For example Jack is the main character of the show Lost. His plane has crashed on an island and he is the doctor. He makes almost all of the decisions but also listens to others. Also there is a down side to being a leader or chief. If there is a decision that a person doesn't like or a big group doesn't like, people will start to revolt . When people revolt decisions, things get complicated and nasty. An example in the other show, the Walking Dead, when people revolt they are either left or injured/killed.
