LOTF reading response



     In Lord of the Flies, everything seems to be progressively getting worse. When they showed up on the island everyone thought that they were going to have fun and be friends and the conch would help them maintain everything. Now there is violence among the group. There is dissension into separate groups. No one cares about the rules of the conch anymore. The recognition of littluns is also deteriorating.

     Jack in particular has completely lost all respect for order and for the conch and is really the reason for all of the things above. He always takes the conch from people or he speaks without it. He doesn't care about the rules and said "Bollocks to the rules." Jack and Piggy's relationship has gotten worse and turned violent when Jack broke his glasses and attacked him. Jack also jokes about the killing of the littluns and his jokes have gotten progressively worse over time. Jack seems to be bent on ruining their chances of survival.

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.
