At the beginning of the novel, Salva and his schoolmates endure the terrifying attack on their village and have to rush out into the bush. Out there Salva notes, "Overhead, a jet plane veered away like a sleek evil bird" (6). It is a stunningly simple and effective simile. The reader can envision the plane swooping above the frightened people, reminding them that danger can from below and above. The plane is like an animal in its power and predatory nature.
Simile: Salva's mouth
When Salva hears someone call his name and he turns around to see his uncle, Park writes, "Salva's mouth closed and opened again, as if he were a fish" (34). It is a comical image; the reader can sense through this effective simile that Salva is utterly agape and flabbergasted at the coincidence of encountering his uncle out here.

Which boy would have survived the longest on the island had they not been rescued?
Once the boys are back to civilization, what do you foresee happening to them? What might be some of the lasting effects of the events that took place on the island?
Are human beings innately savages?
Why do you think this book is so influential to so many?
What is an allegory? Is Lord of the Flies an allegory?
Answer:
1. Golding contends that human nature, when free from the constraints of society, draws people away from common sense to savagery. His fundamental arguments are that human beings are savage by nature, and are moved by urges toward brutality and dominance over others.
2.Young boys were chosen because although they have been civilized somewhat, but still require adult supervision. If adults were abandoned on an island, you would not expect their civilization to deteriorate as quickly or as completely as the boys' did.
3. (Im not sure of this but i'll comment it when i figure it out.)
4.The characters in Lord of the Flies possess recognizable symbolic significance, which make them as the sort of people around us. Ralph stands for civilization and democracy; Piggy represents intellect and rationalism; Jack signifies savagery and dictatorship; Simon is the incarnation of goodness and saintliness.
5. (Also in the process of figuring this one out)

Read these paragraphs and answer the question that follows:
In 2008, more than one million American students gave nearly 20 million service hours to their communities. They made a difference in people's lives and learned some important life lessons in the process. Organizations, including schools, are actively promoting service for all citizens as a way to be involved, help others, and improve themselves.
Service is helping other people and being active in your community. For example, one group of teens planted a community garden with their friends. They grow a variety of vegetables. The garden requires regular care. The teens donate the produce to a local soup kitchen. Workers there use the produce to help feed people in the community. By tending the garden and donating their produce, the teens are actively helping make life a bit better for others in their community.
Service is valuable in ways that cannot be measured in dollars. People volunteer or serve others without expecting money or gifts in return. Service is not about earning money. It is not just collecting money to give to a group. It is about action and contributing to the common good. The people who serve as well as those who receive help benefit in many ways that are more important than money or gifts. For example, a soup kitchen provides essential food to people who may otherwise go hungry. The soup kitchen is extremely valuable for those struggling to get enough to eat. Those serving learn about compassion and how helping others can improve life for all.
Millions of Americans are making society better for themselves and for others. They are participating citizens in their community, raising up those who are less fortunate. In return, they become better people who can understand the perspectives and needs of others, which are invaluable and important qualities of good citizens.
Which sentence best represents the main idea of paragraph (2), the first body paragraph?

Answer: I dwell in possibility by Emily Dickinson:
I dwell in Possibility –
A fairer House than Prose –
More numerous of Windows –
Superior – for Doors –
Of Chambers as the Cedars –
Impregnable of eye –
And for an everlasting Roof
The Gambrels of the Sky –
Of Visitors – the fairest –

The spreading wide my narrow Hands
To gather Paradise –
Do not go gentle into that good night by Dylan Thomas:
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
In this unit, you focused on different types of conflicts and read informational texts. You learned about two conflicts during World War II: Pearl Harbor and the internment of Japanese Americans.
Think of a major conflict that is happening in the world today. Describe the conflict in your discussion. What are the main causes of the conflict? Why is the conflict such a big issue? Can you think of any possible solutions for this conflict?
Answer:
Explanation:
The Black Lives Matter movement is caused by black people standing up against oppression and speaking out about how their lives shouldn't be worth any less then other peoples. When trump supporters violently stormed the Capitol, it was considered protests and when people quietly sat down and protested for racial justice they were considered "Thugs" , "agitators" and "looters". This conflict is big issue that deserves attention because people don't deserve to be treated like that for the color of their skin and a possible solution for this conflict is that by spreading this message, people will be forced to acknowledge it as a real problem.

Write a research-based argumentative essay for or against health care for everyone.
(I'm on rough draft)
100 points
Answer:
Health care should be free for everyone. Not everybody can afford this and because of that, not only individuals, but families as a whole suffer. If health care was free and accessible to everybody, there would be a decline in the spread of diseases as more treatment would be available.
Some might say that health care shouldn't be free for everyone seeing that could potentially bring down our economy. However, the opposition against free health care is not a valid fear because many European counties have free health care and their economy functions fine.
In conclusion, free health care would benefit and protect many citizens, it helps the majority of people and is the best

I knew I Should have worn a parachute today. My name is Olivia Wade, I am 15 years old and this is the story of how I jumped out of a plane parachute-less, And lived to tell the story. The day started out like any day. I had overslept ( again!) and was late to school, and my best friend, Ava, was already sitting there waiting for me. “ What took you so long? School starts at 8:00 and you're not usually here till 10:00. It’s 10:30!” Ava said. “ Yeah, yeah, I Know. I just-I slept in a little that’s all. Where’s Andrew?” I asked. “ His dad is being cruel again and won’t let him out of the house.” Ava answered. “ oh, Okay.” I was a fan of Andrew and his work. He’s a model and he’s not even in college yet! But, I’ve always dreamed of being a fashion designer. At lunch, Ava and I sat with a friend of hers named Nickolas. “ hey girls!” cheered Nick. “ Hi” I replied. “Hey Nicky!” Giggled Ava. “ Did you girls get an invite from Andrew yesterday?” Nick asked politely. “ I got one” Ava said. “ I DID TOO!!!” I yelled. “ Um...Okay!” Nick stuttered. “ sorry, I just-” I got distracted by a boy walking into the school building. It was Andrew! I kinda panicked. “ You okay?” Ava Asked. “ Yeah!” I replied. Andrew walked over to where Ava, Nick, and I were sitting. “ Hey Guys! Did you get the invitations I sent?” Andrew asked. “ Yeah, we got them” Nick stated. “ Great, and you are all coming, right?” Andrew asked again. “ yeah” Ava replied.
“ Great! See you later!” Andrew cheered.
AFTER SCHOOL…….
I was worried because the invites were for skydiving, which I've never done before. The plane took off and everyone was grabbing a parachute, except me. “ What’s wrong?” Andrew asked me. I tripped over my words, “ I’m okay- I mean I’m just- I’ve never skydived before'' I Stammered. Andrew laughed, then tried to help me find a parachute. He was shocked when he discovered that there were no more parachutes. “ oh, well, I guess hold on tight to me.” Andrew said. “ WHAT!? HOLD ON TO YOU?! I MEAN OK-I MEAN, let’s go before I change my mind.” Ava, Nick, Andrew and I all jumped out of the plane at the same time. And believe it or not, We all ( including me) Landed safely. This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! Then, Andrew had to go, Nick, Ava, And I were gonna go get some Ice Cream. “Andrew! Wait!” I exclaimed. “ Listen, I have to tell you something. I’ve wanted to tell you for a while but I was too worried about how you would react. I like you more than a friend, I would do anything for you Because I-I love you.” I had finally got that off my chest. Andrew told me he had felt the same way about me. I was EXTREMELY SHOCKED!!! “ You DO feel the same way? And you aren’t just saying that?” I asked him. “ You think I’m lying? Why would I lie to you. I care about you and your feelings.” Andrew replied. I just said, “ wow!” while my mind was screaming, “ AHHHHHH! HE LIKES ME TOO?! THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!” Andrew got in his limo and Ava, Nick, and I went to go get some ice cream. Maybe, I didn’t need a parachute today. Cause if I had one, All that stuff wouldn’t have happened. It feels good to face your fears every now and then. And let that be a lesson to all you lovesick girls out there, If you want him to know, accept the invite, and forget the parachute!!!
