LOTF Thesis Post

     "Jack made a rush and stabbed at Ralph's chest with his spear. Ralph sensed the position of the weapon from the glimpse he caught of Jack's arm and put the thrust aside with his own butt. Then he brought the end round and caught Jack a stinger across the are. They were chest to chest, breathing fiercely, pushing and glaring."
     All throughout the book the characters have been losing there sanity. The author shows Jack going a little crazy at the very beginning of the book when he misses the pig. This paragraph shows that jack has fully gone insane. He is so crazy he is willing to kill a kid for the rule of the island. This shows the effects of human nature and what it can do to anybody.

My Summer Time

     I had a pretty eventful summer. The first week I went to Orange Beach with my friend. When I came home I had to start summer weights...that was not fun. And then July came around, and i was off to Montana/Canada with my brother and my aunt. I was waiting all summer to go to Glacier National Park.      I went to Glacier National Park, it was so beautiful. We went on hikes and saw spectacular waterfalls. One waterfall was so big the wind it made could knock you over. We went on one hike that was 5 miles long, and we thought it was 2 miles. All my brother wanted to see was a mountain goat. On the very last hike we saw 10 mountain goats. They are very majestic animals. I had an amazing summer with my family.

Hurricane Katrina

     On the morning August 29th, 2005, hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, Louisiana. It was a category 5 in the Gulf of Mexico, but when it hit land it was category 3. The storm started in the Bahamas as a tropical storm on August 23rd. They had time to warn people to evacuate, however 20% of the population stayed. Mayor Ray Nagin declared that the Super-Dome would be a last resort shelter. Katrina claimed the lives of about 2,000 people. Also, the damage spread across 90,000 square miles.      Although I was only 2 years old I do remember some things from Hurricane Katrina. I had family that lived in New Orleans, and did not evacuate. It was my aunt and her husband. They're house got destroyed in the storm. So came to stay with us for 2 months. They never moved back to New Orleans. They eventually bought a house in Baton Rouge, and are still living here. Resource: http://www.history.com/topics/hurricane-katrina
