Independend Novel Part 2 (fixed)
6. Does the novel interest you, irritate you or both? Explain
I think that is book did interest me. The reasons why this book interests me is because how the author worded it and how she describes the features of the characters and what is happening in the novel it makes the book seen more real.
7. In what way do you think you are very like or very unlike the main character? Explain:
I think that the main character Zoey and I have some similarities in common. Some would be that she is nice and she can be outgoing just like me. Also she has a very creative mind when she is trying to finger things out and how to do it.
8. Describe a main events. Where does the climax take place?
One of the main events that I liked in this book was when Zoey when to a ritual with the Dark Daughters and Sons. Zoey don’t know that she drank blood when the leader Aphrodite walked around with a bowl and offer it to her. When Zoey found out she was very upset with Aphrodite that she did that to her.
9. What are the scenes, incidents or moments which you remember most vividly?
The last scene in the book is very hard to describe. Basically she saved very one how was in the ritual with the Dark Daughter and Sons. I think this scene was disturbing because the leader Aphrodite was raying sprites to try to get more powers.
10. Different the main conflicts that take place in the novel.
I think main conflict that happen in this book would between Zoey and Aphrodite. They both dislike each other and it is all because that Zoey has great power and she is scare that Zoey will take her place as the leader of the Dark Daughters. Also that Zoey is dating her ex boyfriends and she don’t like it because she still like him.

Black Slavery
In the book that we are reading in my English class, it had a pair of the book that have black slavery in it. the book is call What Are You Figuring Now ?
In my own opinion I think that black slavery is a horrible think to do to someone else that you do not ever now. My reason why I think that black slavery is horrible because it rode to do to someone. It can effect the person how was a slaver later on he/her life. Also its just not right to take advantage of someone that you do not know about.
Its is very road to take away a kid from there live to become a slave. Becoming a slave would be hard on the kid or a young adult who is going to be on. Yo would have to do all the thinks that they tell you to do. Also it just not nice to do that to someone.
After someone who was a slave, it can effeck the rest of your life. It will be hard for someone after being a slave for so long it would be hard to go back on living the that you did. If would be different not doing someone elsestuff, but now doing your on stuff.
It is not right how some person can take advantage of someone. You can hurt them, mentally scar them, also it just not right that you can do that to some person that do not know what is happening to him/her.
In conclusion, I think it is horrible that some person can do this to another person for this society. There are my reasons why it just plane road, It can effect someone after being a slave, also it is not right to take advantage of someone. After reading my pragraph know you can see how horrible it is to have a black slave or just a slave in general.

Lord of the Flies
1. Did you know that "Lord of the Flies" is another name for the devil? The title of the book suggests that the author was interested in evil. Interestingly, all the evil was committed by the children and the "Lord of the Flies" never appears. Describe some of the evil you witnessed in the film. If you did not see the whole movie you can discuss any evil you have heard of in the news.
In the movie there was alot of evil/bad things that was happening. One of them is that a group of kids killed three people on the island. Another is that there was swearing alot to each other and not showing respect to one an others.
2. How responsible do you think the children are for what happened? At what age is a person no longer a child and fully responsible for his or her behaviour?
All children are responsible for what they do no matter what it is. The age that is not a kid any more is 13 and up so they will have to deal with there own behaviour.
3. What do you believe? Do people behave because they know that it is the right thing to do, or do people behave because they are afraid of consequences?
I believe that people do both of them because some people might be scary of the consequences and the other just know that it is not right to do somethings.
4. Whose fault was it that Piggy died? Was it simply the boy(s) who rolled the stone on top of him or was it the whole gang?
In a way it's was the whole gang fault that Piggy died because they inflects the boys that rolled the stone on top of him.
5. Do you feel that people act differently when they are in a group? What is the difference? Why will people do things as a group that they would never do on their own?
I think that people act different in a group of people because they want to be cool and they are scary to act on there own.

Boys and Girl Should Be Separate in High School.
In my own opinion i don't think that boys and girl should be separate in high school. My reason why I thing this is because it would be different to have the same sex though out high school. Boys and girls will have more fights in high school.
In elementary school you were in a combined class room. So you use to it, but now going into an all boys/girls school would be hard to adjust it.
In an all girl high school I think there will be more drama then a combine high school. In an all boys high school I think they will be more fight there too.
Those are my reason why I think that high school student should be all combine together and not just in elementary school.
