LOTF given passage page 91



     In this passage, Jack says "Bollocks to the rules." Ralph tries to tell him that the ruled are all that they have but he is more interested in causing chaos. This goes along with the trend of Ralph trying to maintain order and Jack trying to cause chaos. This trend is even more evident when they split up and Ralph's group thrives under order and Jack rises to power and maintains it through the creation of chaos.

     This passage also mentions how the lawful word was slipping away and this became very evident. At the beginning of the book Ralph was decided as a leader and the conch represented the unity that they had. Then fear crept its way in in the form of the beast. Jack started using this fear to try and make his way to leader and him and his followers kept making progressively worse jokes about the littluns. They also started getting progressively more violent until they actually killed someone. This describes the big trends in Lord of the Flies.

    I agree, All Jack does is cause chaos and Ralph tries to keep him under control and it just doesn't end up working out.

March Madness

March Madness is my favorite part of the basketball season and is probably my favorite way that any sports season is ended. March Madness is the NCAA tournament that has 64 teams and 6 different rounds. This tournament is always very fun to watch and it is fun to pick the brackets for who you think is going to win. This is something I have been doing every year for a while. I am usually pretty good at this but this has been my worst year in a while. This years tournament has had more upsets than I have ever seen. The most shocking of which made history when the 16 seeded UMBC beat Virginia the overall 1 seed.  This also happened to be who I had picked to win the tournament and my bracket was already done for before the second round. Then there is also Loyola Chicago who has made it into the final 4 tied for the highest seed to make it there. This was overall no ones year for picking a bracket.

One of my favorite speakers during launch day was Erin. I thought the way that she presented was very engaging and interactive. It was a new twist that I found to be very cool and innovative. I liked the way that she did not try to force us to believe in her opinion but instead presented the facts and the arguments for both and left it up to us to form our own educated opinion. I thought the arguments sounded well made for both and I had already had my own opinion on the issue and the debate was still very entertaining. I also enjoyed Graham Frazier's presentation on the affect a powerful opinion can have on marketing and more specifically the Stockmarket. He explained what exactly the stock market was as it can be a point of confusion for many people. Then he gave us examples of how the stock market has changed based on the opinion of popular businessmen or other important people. I overall thought launch day was very interesting.
