"Look! We've killed a pig-we stole up on them- we got in a circle-" ... "You let the fire go out." Jack checked, vaguely irritated by this irrelevance but too happy to let it worry him. "We can light the fire again. you should have been with us, Ralph. we had a smashing time the twins got knocked over-" This is from page 69 and its an excerpt from a conversation between Ralph and Jack. This quote shows that Jack is slowly becoming more obsessed and egotistical. The quote is mainly Jack being more focused on pigs than other problems like rescue. This shows his obsession with the killing of the pigs and making himself feel powerful. This self-absorbed move causes the rest of the group to not get rescued. If Jack and his hunters had kept the fire going like they were supposed to the whole island could have been rescued. This is just the beginning of Jack being more concerned about pigs and the odd satisfaction and power he gets from them. This quote...

Thanksgiving is partially over, and I hate it. Its Monday but I woke up thinking it was only Sunday. I have one less mental day. It is still the beginning of break but from now until next Sunday I have so much stuff to do. I know I must get my midterm stuff together and write my blogs and study for science but its break. I feel like breaks aren’t ever real breaks until Christmas, more like catch up time. This stresses me out so much because I just want to lay in bed and listen to music, but I cannot. I think if I did that the stress would eat me alive. I say that, but here I lean on fluffy pillows, listening to music I’ve already heard, typing blogs and letting ideas out that have been sitting in the back of my mind. I type everything I think and edit so I feel like I'm occupied. I have about three thousand things going on up in my head, I think that’s why my words get jumbled up. I have so much going on I need to find out, do, and ask. What are we? What’s going to be on that tes...

page 91 This passage is mainly about Jack being the id and Ralph being the superego in this scene. Jack mentions how he doesn't care and since they are hunters, rules are not needed than besides to kill the beast. Piggy understands there need to be rules but does not try to fight with Jack. Ralph, the superego in the passage, tries to explain there needs to be order in a society and that's all they have connecting them to the real world now. I think this passage is important because it shows there is a thirst for order, rules, and a function society, but Jack doesn't care. I think if people were not as afraid of Jack there would be order. Though even the narrator mentions how the real world is slipping. Jack talks about how since they are hunters there is no need for rules. This seems semi barbaric and like he is turning into a beast himself. Jack also says that they would " beat and beat and beat" but doesn't have any specific noun in that sentence to show...

I used to get his texts. He would ask how I'm doing, tell me he loves me. He would assure me he misses me and wants me to come back home. I would reply; we would have a conversation for a while, but it would end on how he wants me to visit and me telling him I have school. The texts cheered me up they would make my day and even my week. I would run over the conversation in my mind as if he were right there with me, hanging out with me how he should be. Over time the texts stop coming. Our conversations died down. Our imaginary time ceased. The two message conversations of his red heart emoji and my "I miss you"s have been the new normal. He still texts me, but it's not the same. I think its obligated by law. If he does not have communication with me every 90 days, he's abandoned me. I never saw his texts like that though. Not until now. symbolism: the texts represent a father daughter relationship splitting
