Since I always read what will happen at the end of the book on line defore the reading I know the fate of the book. But before I did this, I would expect the good people to be killed, and the evil to stay alive, as a twist in the book. I definatley think that Piggy will be killed, becaucse it seems to me that in some books the smartest characters are usually unappreciated and have bad fates. He gets no respect from the other boys and will not be needed on the island. I also think the boys will regret how they treated him if he dies. I think some of the littluns will die by curiosity and exploration. I expect Ralph and Jack to stay alive, so that the two opposite characters will be put face to face. Eventually them and the Littleluns will be saved.
I think they will become more and more savage and unorganized. Eventually Ralph will have no control over them. They will act like this until people start dying off. I don't think they will change even after these deaths, they will just be more carefull. Fianlly they will get rescued by luck. Overall, evil will not be punished, they will strangley be rewarded for them being savages. On the other hand, most of the good people will be killed off to show that good people are not always rewarded.
I feel that I identify most with Simon. He is not a natural leader, but is very sensible, logical, and is a hard worker. He states what he feels, but does it with kindness and thoughtfullness. If I was in his place I would try to act the way he does, listenign to the leader, workind hard, and being nice

The Tropics of New York: The author tried to convey that a man is very homesick. He is now living in New York, but misses all the things that he once knew. The message of the poem is to appreciate your home because one day you might not have it to got back to.

Lady Freedom Among Us: The author tried to convey that people are overlooking The Statue of Liberty (Lady of Freedom). Not all people are receving the rights they deserve, because the people are forgeting that The Statue of Liberty represents that all should have equal freedom.

Political Cartoon: The author is trying to show that even people that do not live in New York are coming together and being supportive of all the people who had to go through the events of 9/11. Most people have nothing to do with these events, but it is important to know that there are people who support you and care.

Manhatta: The author shows how busy and crazy his town is. It seems at first that he is frustrated about how busy his town is, but soon you realize that he loves it for that reason. There is always something happening, and it seems that he needs to be busy to enjoy his life.

Connections: All of these poems are all about New York. They all show how at times, New York can be so wild and out of whack, but then at the times when it is needed, New York stops everything and comes together as one. They always support eachother and that is why it is such a great place to live. Also, there is so much diversity and always something happening that you can never be bored.

I just finished the first week of school and it seemed no different than freshman year. I expect a good year as a sophmore nevertheless. All my teachers seem very nice. I didn't want to overload with honors classes this year so I decided to take only 3. Hopefully, I will be able to maintain my High Honors status that I had all of last year. I am a little worried about the workload, since as a freshman, I barely received 1 hours worth of homework each night. I have to stop procrastinating so much. If I am able to do that, I think I will have a great year. I still can't wait untill summer again though.
