Vocab. (free post)

My vocab words are: revoke and vocations
 
     Lord of the Flies has a smaller story built into it. This mini-story is Piggy's journey to being accepted. Although Piggy's vocation is his natural smarts, the boys often revoke him because of his massive stomach. Since the narrator of Lord of the Flies goes along with bullying Piggy, by calling him Piggy, it tends to make the reader revoke Piggy as well. This is sad because it makes Piggy did not do anything wrong.
     Another smaller story is Ralph, in Lord of the Flies. Ralph is the leader in Lord of the Flies because he looks like a leader, but the boys eventually revoke him when he acknowledges Piggy. Ralph's story is one that starts high and goes downhill over time. Also, Ralph, whose vocation is being a leader is continuously one-uped by Jack, who is trying to steal his position. Unlike Piggy, the reader is able to empathize with Ralph because the narrator portrays him as usually right and a likable guy. All in all, Lord of the Flies is a complicated story that is mixed with stories of individual characters.

         When I overheard someone says that Shihab Nye would be coming during announcements, I did not know what to expect. I loved reading Mint Snowball, and even though that was the only narrative I read written by Shihab, I already thought that she was a great writer.          Before I knew it, Shihab Nye had started reading various poems. The poems had minds of their own. Every poem took me to a different world. Next, they sucked me into listening and getting lost in words. I never knew that a song could captivate a human in that way. Each poem was better than the last. Soon I felt and saw the world of poetry. Shihab Nye had shown me the wonders of a poem.

     I did several things over the weekend that would make the weekend qualify as unique. Friday night, after LAUNCH, our plumbing system broke, leaving our house without hot water for the entire weekend. The next morning I awoke and had to take care of the yard. This is usually not a big deal, just a quick cutting of the grass. Unfortunately the I put this off for so long that our yard became a jungle. My lawnmower's weals were too small to drive over the thickets of grass in my path. After my first impossible task was completed, I had to clean up the yard. To my dismay, we had our roof redone last weekend, and the roof-men dumped all of the old shingles into our pool. Thus I needed to get them out. So I dove down into the pool, which was green by now due to the algae build up and not heated, to pull out the roof shingles. Finally, I was able to relax, study, and stress eat for the remainder of the weekend.      Between my constant chors and gorging myself with food, I managed to

     The nine eleven attacks were a collection of Islamic terrorists from Saudia Arabia hijacked and crashed planes into the Pentagon, the World Trade Center, and one plane crashed in a field while heading to Washington DC. Ther was over three-thousand people killed and six-thousand people injured in these attack.       As a kid, I heard about 911 every year,  but I never really understood the attacks until I read various accounts. After reading numerous articles on the acts of terrorism, I contemplated what would have been going through my head if I had been in the Twin Towers. I thought about my priorities, if I was ready to die, and how I would react if i actually survived.
