Lord of the Flies 2
In The second third of Lord of the flies Jack starts to form his own group. As he now seems the best person to lead them in their fight against the beast, he ends up with most of the boys following him with the exception of Piggy, Simon, Samneric and a few littluns who stay loyal to Ralph. It is easy to see the attraction, which Jack offers, getting to hunt pigs, wearing camouflage face paint made up of tribal dances.
Jack soon has them out on a hunting party and they find an easy prey in a sow suckling her young, which the tribe slaughter and mutilate placing the pig’s head on a stake which provides their tribe with an idol to worship, and also a symbol to placate the beast. This idol becomes the Lord of the Flies and has been positioned outside Simon’s hiding place who is suffering from hallucinations and thinks that the pig’s head is speaking to him, warning him not to spoil the fun which is to be had on the island.
Simon is the only boy who has the courage to go back up the mountain and find out the true nature of the beast, and he discovers the truth. He realizes that the beast, which they are all frightened off, is not a creature lurking in the jungle, but a primordial, evil buried in everyone’s sub-conscious. Exhausted, Simon decides to go back to Jack’s camp to tell them the truth, but they mistake him for the beast in disguise and brutally murder him.
If I was Ralph I would have sent all the kids in my group to get jack and keep him in prison so he couldn’t rise up and form is own group. Jack is just making everyone one on the island haters of everyone

Story Response: Lord Of Flies
In The Story “Lord of the Flies” In the Lord of the Flies, many young boys were left to survive after their plane had crashed on an uninhabited island. In the story their is four main characters in the novel. Their is Ralph the oldest and wisest,Then Piggy. Piggy’s character is very scared all the time and he needs lots of attention. Thens theirs Jack. Jacks a mr know it all. When the boys are decideing who the leader will be Jack fights and fights . Jack feels like he needs to have athurity against everyone. Then thiers simon who is the brains. But simon is also a silence kid too. So you dont know to much of simon in the begining of the story.
So far the kids have built a fire. The kids used Piggy’s class and the suns rays to make the flame. Ralph was picked as the leader of the kids. Jack was not to happy with the choice. So theirs a little conflict between Ralph and Jack. So far so good with the book.

Of innocent lives War means tears
To thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to fight
And lose their lives
I said, war, huh
Good God, y’all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War, it ain’t nothing
But a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Ooooh, war
It’s an enemy to all mankind
The point of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest
Within the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die
Aaaaah, war-huh

War, it’s got one friend
That’s the undertaker
Ooooh, war, has shattered
Many a young mans dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much to short and precious
To spend fighting wars these days
War can’t give life
It can only take it away
Ooooh, war, huh
Good God y’all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing

Peace, love and understanding
Tell me, is there no place for them today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows there’s got to be a better way
Ooooooh, war, huh
Good God y’all
What is it good for
You tell me
Say it, say it, say it, say it
War, huh
Good God y’all
What is it good for
Stand up and shout it
Nothing

Lyrics Assiments/ Akon: Ghetto
“Ghetto”Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto livin[Verse one]These streets remind me of quicksand (quicksand)
When your on it you’ll keep goin down (goin down)
And there’s noone to hold on too
And there’s noone to pull you out
You keep on fallin (falling)
And noone can here you callin
So you end up self destructing
On the corner with the tuli on the waist line just got outta the bing doin state time
Teeth marks on my back from the canine
Dark Memories of when there was no sunshine
Cause they said that I wouldn’t make it
(I remember like yesterday)
Holdin on to what god gave me[Chorus]Cause thats the life when ur
Living in the (ghetto)and
Eating in the (ghetto)or
Sleeping in the (ghetto) (ghetto)
Cause thats the life when ur
Living in the (ghetto)and
Eating in the (ghetto)or
Sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
[Verse two]
No need to cherish luxuries (cause everythin’ come and go)
Even the life that you have is borrowed
(Cause your not promised tomorrow)
So live your life as if everydays’ gon be your last
Once you move forward can’t go back
Best prepare to remove your past
Cause ya gotta be willin to pray
Yea There gotta be (there gotta be) a better way oh
Yea ya gotta be willing to pray
Cause there gotta be (there gotta be) a better day (ay)
Whoever said that this struggle would stop today
A lot of niggas dead or locked away
Teenage Women growing up with aids

Living in the (ghetto) oh
Eating in the (ghetto) or
Sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto)
Thats the life when ur
Living in the (ghetto)oh
