     The Lord of the Flies is a fascinating book. It captivated me on the first paragraph of the first page. One thing that puzzled me was the number of boys on the island and if all of them survived the crash. One thing my reading was led me to notice was how weird and proper the English talk. All their strange words like "bonkers!" or "Wacco!" But their sense of nationalism is very familiar in the way of Americans having that same feeling(but stronger:)). I think that sense of patriotism is what held them together at the beginning. But by now they have unraveled entirely, and it will probably go downhill from here.

    I really enjoyed your post! The English slang's in this book are strange yet interesting. I too thought the book was great until, now when everything is going "downhill."

    You made a great connection with the patriotism holding them together at first. I never noticed that. Very well written blog!

      After seeing Evan M's blog, I realized that we all have a platform to speak our minds and express our feelings. We can also use it to talk about topics that mean something to us. I am using mine to talk about waffles and pancakes. Yes, I know that sounds silly, right? But this is a serious debate between the two breakfast items.     First off, I have more experience with pancakes so I will try not to be biased. Pancakes are just flat cakes; it's in the name, PAN-CAKES. They are delicious. However, pancakes aren't very syrup effective, and they also can get quite soggy and cold quickly.      Waffles, on the other hand, are way more syrup effective as they have little pockets specialized for the syrup. And that is necessary for enjoyment. But if you aren't careful, you could end up with a too crunchy, dry, or burnt waffle. But in the end, it isn't up to me to say which is better as they both have great qualities. I have presented my case, and now the reader

research post q3 w3

        My topic is about Mongolian Society under the reign of Genghis Khan in the 13th century.  My research question is: How did Genghis Khan make such a vast empire in such a short period of time and what was that empire like? My topic is interesting because Genghis Khan built one of the only nomadic empires to last. One reason I wanted to research this topic was that I felt like no one really knew anything about the Mongols. People know that they were nomadic and that it.      My subcategories are the Mongol army, what religion they practice, the food they ate, the Mongolian government, and their conquests in the 13th century. The empire matters because they helped start the Slik Road. They opened the entire empire for trade.

United by Naomi Shihab Nye week 5

-
      Naomi has made  a great  number of poems, but I chose this one because the name sounded  strong . What does it mean to be united? That is a question that I have been trying to answer for a while now. Does it mean to be loyal and  true  to yourself? The definition of unity is the state of being unified or joined as a whole. United is about how the different state mottos combine into one. They combine the mottos into one message about unity. She has good sentence fluency throughout her piece. It ties into America being a unified country.
