Larry and Barry Week 6

Larry and Barry are best friends. Larry is a collector and likes to collect things found at the beach. One day, Larry and Barry were walking down the street at Barry’s parents summer condominium in Kansas. The boys had been worn there was a giant snake on the loose in the area. There were signs and it was on the news everywhere. Everyone locked themselves indoors because it was just too risky.

One night, Barry and Larry decided to sneak out and explore the outdoors. This was a bad idea. Especially because Larry had his favorite shark tooth necklace that was worth tons of money. The boys were messing around and of course they stumbled upon the giant snake. This snake was a 20 foot long Boa Constrictor that was ready to strike at any moment. The enormous Boa lung forward in Barry’s direction and started constricting him. Larry didn't know what to do. If he called for help it would've been too late. Larry then remembered he was wearing his favorite shark tooth necklace. This tooth was from a Megladon and worth a couple billion dollars. Larry had to think quick. Barry was about to die and was screaming a horrifying scream. Larry then ripped his necklace off of his neck and started stabbing the exotic snake and killed it. Barry was still alive and was so grateful for Larry. The boys then both noticed that the necklace wasn't damaged. Larry decided to give the necklace to Barry the necklace to remember what saved his life, but Barry politely informed Larry that it was he who saved Barry’s life, not the necklace.

The ancient Megladon tooth necklace represents friendship. Larry could have let his best friend Barry die and could've had a possibility of the necklace being destroyed forever.

How to Kill a deer week 6

In order to kill a deer you must have property and it has to be deer season. Hunting out of season or on someone else’s property is illegal. Second, you must have camouflage. You don't need camouflage, but if you want to increase your chances you must wear it. You also need to have some type of legal weapon that can kill a deer along with the ammunition, Rifles, Bows, Crossbows, and Shotguns may all work. Once you have property, camouflage, and a weapon, you need to find a place to set up a stand. There are many different types of stands like tree stands, tripods, box stands, and ground blinds. Find which one works for you. Once you have all the thing you need to make sure your weapon is sighted in. Now, all you need to do is set out corn for the deer. There and automatic feeders, gravity feeders, or you could just put the corn on the ground.

When you have completed all of this, its time to hunt. If you plan to hunt in the morning, you need to get into the stand before sunrise. If you don't like waking up early, you should get in the stand at about 3:00. Once you get into the stand, you need to be as quiet as possible and just wait for the deer to come out. If you followed everything that was stated above, then you will  most likely have a successful hunt. If you have a 4 year old buck or doe with no fawns in your field you can shoot. The way you tell the age is the snout and stomach size. You aim for the heart or lungs and slowly squeeze the trigger.

Close NFL Week (Week 4 2Q)

Last week in the NFL, there were some upsets. The best team, the Vikings, lost to the Eagles. The game was controlled by defenses and it was fun to watch. Another bad game was the Cardinals vs. Seahawks. This game was also a defensive game. This game wasn't fun to watch and went into over time. 

On the first drives, both teams kicked a field goal and it was 6-6. The very next drive, when the clock was running out, the Cardinals attempted to kick a field goal and got it blocked. After that, the Seahawks kicker went to kick the ball and missed it as the last seconds rolled off the clock. Overtime was over and no one won. This wasn't a good game to watch at all. I stayed up late to watch someone win and no one did. 

LOTF passage week 4 Q2

The world, that understandable and lawful world, was slipping away.  Once there was this and that; and now--and the ship had gone. [... Jack refusing to give Piggy the floor when he has the conch...]

"The rules!" shouted Ralph.  "You're breaking the rules!"

"Who cares?"

Ralph summoned his wits.

"Because the rules are the only thing we've got!"

But Jack was shouting against him.

"Bollocks to the rules!  We're strong--we hunt!  If there's a beast, we'll hunt it down!  We'll close in and beat and beat and beat—!”

I chose this passage because its very significant to the book. Its significant because the rules play a big factor throughout it. At first, Ralph is the leader and creates a ton of rules that Jack doesn't want to do. Jack just doesn't listen and decides to hunt instead. All of the kids see how Jack is living, and that they don't want to follow Ralph’s rules. They decide to break off and follow Jack.

If Ralph would makes things a little more relaxed around the camp, the kids wouldn't have switched to go with Ralph. The kids are so young and naive, they don't know Ralph’s rules will help them in the long run. If I were on the island, I would've followed Ralph because his rules are a lot smarter. I would have also chosen to create my own tribe.

Thanksgiving Break

This year, I have no idea where I'm going for Thanksgiving. We always know where were going, but not this year. We've been to Italy, New York, and Rosemary Beach. We’re either going to Destin or Rosemary beach.

Id rather go to Destin because of the fishing purposes. I think the fishings a lot better on the beach. Its also not as crowded there. Ive caught Redfish, Pompano, and Sharks off the beach in Destin. Rosemary beach is also very cool because it has a Bocce Ball tournament.

Important Scene LOTF

One important scene from LOTF was when Simon talked to the pig. This was the climax of the book. Simon runs away to his favorite hide away, The kids don't know he's there and put a pig head on a stick in front of Simon.

The pig was foreshadowing Simon’s death. He told Simon, “He’d  better not tell anyone back at camp.” Now the peaceful pig’s head in turned into evil on a stick. This is a very important scene because the title came from it and it foreshadowed a main character’s death. Simon ended up getting killed anyway.
