Sa'Veon- Symbolism

Lane-  How to get a horse ready to ride

The Teddy Bear

John was 3 years old with a teddy bear he carried around all the time. When it got lost he would always cry and not talk to anyone. One day he lost it and it was never found but eventually John would talk again. There would be times where he just starts crying. This was because of the teddy bear.

The symbolism here is somethings are just irreplaceable. When it tries to get replaced things are just made worse because you know you will never see or hold someone or something you love.

The hard part about it all is that you know that thing or person will always be in your mind but never in sight again.

How To Spend Christmas Day

Everyone always wants to get up to open presents

Instead slow down and enjoy it

Sleep all day like you usually would on a break from school.

Don’t get up unless you have to or forced

Christmas should be fun

Never let anything ruin the Christmas Mood

Don’t complain about that you didn’t get what you want for Christmas

Just Enjoy

Slow down

Spend time with family

Never forget the true reason for the holiday

And eat all you can and don’t regret it

Have Fun

DON’T THINK

GIVE YOUR BRAIN A BREAK

Be Happy

Thanksgiving

     This Thanksgiving i honestly do not know what we are doing. Usually we will go to New Orleans early that Thursday and stay the rest of the weekend. We go to my aunts house and eat with the whole family. We spend the whole day over there and then go to our cousins house in Laplace and stay there. On black Friday we go shopping and chill and eat leftover food that we are probably going to have for a about a week.
     On Friday night we will usually go to the battle of the band between Southern and Grambling. Then the next day we will go to the Bayou Classic and eat more left overs. So after thanksgiving break I probably gain a couple of pounds.  Finally on Sunday we either go to a Saints game if its a home game or come back home.
   

Piggy's Death

     "This time the silence was complete. Ralph's lip formed but no words came out."PAGE 181 This showed that no one was sad or surprised when piggy died. No emotion was not shown for a reason which is Piggy stood for unity and organization. Nobody payed attention to Piggy with his symbolism so I am surprised he did not die earlier than he did.
     With Piggy gone there is no need for unity or organization cause that was the only person who got the meaning of that. When piggy died the conch was also smashed and the conch had the same symbolism which is unity. The journey to go get Piggy's specs turned into a bad thing. From there Jack and Roger just try to kill Ralph for leadership because Piggy is gone and if he was not he would not let that happen.

Why is Sleep Good For You?

     Most adults think I'm joking when I say sleep actually is the good thing to do on your days off. Adult usually  say stop being lazy and get out the bed and go outside. Although sleep actually helps you lose weight. Studies have shown that when you sleep you actually burn calories. With burning the calories we also are relived of stress of the mind.

     Sleep also helps your nervous system repair and get ready for the next day. Besides the science everyone can agrees sleep just feel good. With research of sleep they cure diseases like sleep abniea. Also it helps your brian. Your brain is always in overdrive but sleep takes it out and put it in park. With the sleep it helps you not to be sick or have frequent headaches.

LOFT Response

     On page 76 and 77 Ralph is stating to realize what they are really going through on this island. When it begins he is thinking that most of someone life or his life right now is tiring because you stay on your feet most of the time. Then he starts missing home  by saying that he thought about his first journey in his early brighter childhood. It more like he is just tired of being on his feet and being on that island.
     Although I don't understand what the folds were as stiff as card board, he started to realize his appearance and that made him seem like he was on the island for a long time. He was dirty with jagged shorts and long hair that would cover up his face. He might be starting to realize this is what really is going on and happening.
