Lord of The Flies Comparative Analysis

The Book Lord of the Flies by William Golding differs from the movie by Harry Hook in three different ways one of the ways the book differs from the movie is how in the beginning of the book, all of the kids were alone and through out the days they started meeting each other, but in the movie they were already all together and came from the same school. Another way it differs is by how in the book the kids were british and in the movie american. The third way is how in the book Jack is a little more positive than in the movie, he starts to tell the kids that they wont ever be rescued, in the book he doesn't do that.

In the beginning of the book Ralph and Piggy were the first ones to meet, then came Jack and the quire. They were all from different school so they didn't know each other and what they dared to do. for example, in the book when they met roger, they had no idea how aggressive he was, he was always so quiet and then he is killing pigs and people. The kids never imagine Roger killing Piggy and turning so savage.
In the movie, they already knew each other because they came from the same school, so they know what the other kid can do, and knows how he is more like.

In the book we are told that the kids are british, and in the movie they are american. It makes a difference because being british they would be more respectful, or arrogant and maybe would take things more personally, they wouldn't be as savage as an american who has no limits, and they kids would understand each another a bit more.

Another thing that makes the movie differ from the book is by how in the book, jack has more hope than he does in the movie, i think this also has to do with being british and american. In the movie, Jack is constantly saying they wont ever be rescued, there is no hope for them. Its important because when the kids hear that there is no hope then they have the idea in their minds that they are going to die and all that, so they start to do some things they wouldn't ever imagine their selves doing, just so they can survive a little bit longer.

These were three ways how the movie differed from the book, in good and bad, turns out that in the movie they had more reasons to be savage than they had in the book, they knew each other already , and the kids were American unlike in the book they were british.

You Can't Have it all

but you can have a house in the east coast
with a parking lot filled up with bicycles, scooters and skates, like if it where the Rally Store.
You can have a sixteen year old brother everyday asking for money if your parents dont have any.
You can have a garden filled with orange, pink,white, purple and green flowers, looking like heaven you see in the movies.
you can have a bathroom filled with your mothers makeup.
you can have a teacher that pushes her classroom, like horses being whipped to race.
you can have the feeling of satisfactory,
but what you cant have and shouldn't feel is regret.
you can have the wrong things that happen in life be a lesson.

Lord of The Flies CH.10 Tanka

Weird noises at night.
Jack hunters invade the place.
Ralph beaten up harsh,
Piggy's glasses were stolen.
Now, there is no where to be safe.

Mt. Rushmore Rock- Benjamin Moore AC-39

she wakes up at six hoping,

to get out of this place.

hoping all of her years of

hard work and discipline pay off at the real world.

She who dreamed of romance ,

of partying.

having a perfect boyfriend and

the perfect clique,

got stuck in military camp.

She who has one week

to get ready for the time of her life.

prom,

military prom.

to be who you really are

and do

what you really do.

she walks through the streets of California

wearing Juicy Couture sunglasses

hermes handbag.

feeling like her old self again.

and there she is,

carrying a north hampton beige color bag

with her dream dress.

it will be the night of her life.

Poetry Notebook

Music

Selected by Maria Fernanda Cuellar

Description

This notebook contains poems about music, how people feel and how they express through out music. I did not just used these poems for this notebook because they were related to the theme. When I read these poems, most of them reminded me of moments that have happened in my life and moments i have witnesses.

Synopsis

Heavily influenced by poets like: Sonia Sanchez, Robert Creely, Carl Sandburg and more...

Poetry

Hymn to God, My God, in My Sickness by John Donne

Ballad by Sonia Sanchez

Latin & Soul by Victor Hernandez Cruz

Water Music by Robert Creely

Leadbelly by E. M. Schorb

The Waltz We Were Born For by Walt McDonald

A Musical Instrument by Elizabeth Barett Browning

Piano by D. H. Lawrance

Honky Tonk in Cleveland, Ohio by Carl Sandburg

A Book Of Music by Jack Spicer

Girl, Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen

Girl, Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen

Publisher: Turtle Bay Books

Where I got it: from Mrs. Meadows memoir basquet

Once sentence summary: Kaysen is talking about when she was 18-years-old her experience of being in a psychiatric hospital; how she ran away from home and attempted suicide, she went to a doctor and told her she was going to stay in McLean(hospital) for a few weeks and stayed there for two years, many patients did not want to leave the safety of the hospital.

First Sentence: People ask, How did you get in there? What they really want to know is if they are likely to end up in there as well.

First chapter review: they are talking about how she is in a hospital and about her roommates and all of her friends and many of their problems. then about how people slip into a parallel universe, like: world of insane, the criminals, the cripples, the dying, and the dead as well.

Verdict: i think this was some amazing book, it was easy to read and it was long but short at the same time. i enjoyed reading it.

Cover Comments: The cover is divided into two; a blue and a white side, but they both are the same picture of a girl. i think it means like what they said at the first chapter about the parallel sides, like the good and bad also.

We Need a Meeting

We need a meeting.
not for fun.
not for laughing.
nor falling of the log.

For cleverness,
Not for these things,
but to put things straight.

"We dont work"
said Ralph
"Because we are scared"
said Piggy
"Shut up, i am not scared"

ive gone through all the island.
i have seen no beast.
there is no beast.

have you seen a beast littleun?
"in my dreams"
is there a beast littleun?
it comes out of the water.

it eats pigs...

Japan Earthquake WW story

It all happen during after school hours at 2:46 in the afternoon. I was walking with my best friend Natsuki; we were heading up to the movie theater to watch “Hana Yori Dango Final.” I was bantering her about how much she loved Niyisoko in that movie. She said he was a hot papa (which he totally isn’t.) she said I was to fastidious when she talked to me, but I mean, that’s what friends do… they hear you out even if you are not that audible! A few minutes had passed, and we were three blocks away from the movie theater until suddenly we feel everything shaking, everything was fitful, the sky not so azure anymore, it was turning colorless, and the shaking wouldn’t decelerate. “Earthquake!!!!!” I screamed. We found ourselves grappling on to a mailbox stand for 30 minutes. When it all ended I took my cell phone, I didn’t expect it to have any signal but surprisingly it did have, I called my mom to see if everyone was ok, everyone was, I told her I would ran back home that I would be there in 10 min.

“I am so sorry Natsuki, just in case I want you to know that you will always be my best friend” I told her before I ran away.

I arrived home and find all of the family sitting on the living rooms sofa—a capacious sofa. My mom said it would facilitate our thinking to not be worrying if someone’s missing. It was a crucial moment in which we all had to stay together.

Suddenly we hear these loud sirens outside the house, I think it was that the president of Japan had sent a copious of adept deploys to see if there were any people injured.

House on Mango Street

The memoir I read was “The House on Mango Street” by Sandra Cisneros. The significance of the title is that, Esperanza, the main character of the book, is always moving from place to place, and her dad is always telling her that one day they will live in a beautiful house forever. But now she is living in a red, ugly house on Mango Street. She is even embarrassed of pointing to that red house and say “its mine.”

Every chapter of this memoir is organized in vignettes; the chapters may be short but every single one of them has significance to how each memory or event affected her life. It can serve as a metaphor for everything in her life.

There were many vignettes in were the memoirist came to realize many things. For example: one of the vignettes that called “Red Clowns”. In this memory she is in a park, waiting for her friend Sally and out of nowhere this man gets near her and rapes her. She begins to get mad at Sally because she didn’t come to help Esperanza in her time of need. Especially since Esperanza came to the carnival because of Sally even though she didn’t want to

I really liked this book; I thought it was a great memoir, I thought it was well written, and how she did the metaphors for such simple things as… “Hairs” hairs describe the personality of a person.

Lines I loved:
“Someday I will have a best friend all my own. One I can tell my secrets to. One who will understand my jokes with ought me having to explain them. Until then I am a red balloon, a balloon tied to an anchor”
pg. 9

I Believe that...

I believe in screaming as loud as you can

I believe that the color of the nail polish on your toenail describes who you are

I believe that falling down is a great medicine

I believe in laughing, as much as you can is one of the best things in life

I believe that standing up to people changes you

I believe that climbing trees is the fun thing in a day out

I believe that a soon as you finish a book there is a lesson learned

I believe that bird poop is bad luck

I believe that every kid should live their childhood in a good pair of shoes

Will my High School years be a calamity? (btw. i am not afraid of high school, its just a made up story)

I was walking myself to school, first day as a freshman. Thinking meticulously about how it was going to be, would i be a loser? a nerd? would i be popular? would everyone lionize me? or would everyone treat me like trash? just like that Kate girl in my other school, who assimilated everyone and made them go against me. ugh hate that chick. Now, would my high school years be a calamity?

I get to my new school, there are bunch of tables with lots of people surrounding them. Everyone in their own clique, goths,football jocks, cheerleaders,quires group, science geeks, student council, the popular kids. i stare at each one of them trying to figure out where i could fit in.

i feel someone touching my arm, its a girl, a cheerleader! cheerleaders are cool, right?

she asked me if i wanted to go sit down with her. i followed. her posy were having an argument of who was the coolest in "gLee" they were all in dissension. i knew right then, i don't belong here.

ps. Puck is the coolest.

Back in the 40's

Back in the 40's where my grandpa Jack used to live, my family told me that he worked with the government, and there was this guy named Richard Bong who supposedly no one liked him because he would always make an anarchy in the moments where they least needed confusion. It would always be a calamity when the government join for there special meetings. Richard had always a dissension from what the other people said. My family told me that my grandpa would always see him conspire with this woman, it was bizarre. No one ever seem to apprehend what he was saying.

So this one day my G. Jack was in the meetings and he was sweltering and so he decided to go to the bathroom, while he was passing by the bathroom was Bong's office. there h was, with the mysterious lady and so he got closer to the door to meticulously hear what they were talking about.

He heard that they were going to get the President of the United States and kill him so that Bong would be the president and then he would take over the whole entire world.

While jack was listening he got so surprised he elapsed a little sound. Bong and the woman came right out to see who was there listening. they catched Jack and shackled him to a chair. Bong and the lady started to interrogate him to see how much he had heard. Bong was imminent to shoot him but then decided that he could be a good help. he asked jack if he would get in the planning, but he was not going to kneel and lionize him to stay in the plan. he told him that if he didn't join then Bong would arraign him for listening to very important private conversations. Jack went to court, Bong got arrested, no one got killed.

Flashback Caulfield

It was a sunny day in New York City, and I was sitting on a bench at central Park staring at the people who were passing by. Suddenly I see this boy wearing preppy clothes and a red hunting hat…(weird) he looked familiar, I realized it was Holden Caulfield, he seemed really despondent. He used to be my neighbor until my moms sell the house because of her new job that was going to be inaugurated in New York.

I felt like getting a cup of coffee and I didn’t want to go alone, so I walked up to him and said “hey Holden…do you remember me? We used to be neighbors…” at first I think he didn’t remember me because he was this grimaces with his face, but after he recognize me.

“Oh yeah I remember you, neighbors…neighbors…right” he said.

So I entreated him to go take a cup of coffee with me, he rebuffed meat first… but then I convinced him to go. I didn’t succumb.

When we got there I started asking him how was his life and his family. I bet he didn’t want to talk about it because he answer me in a very concise manner, he looked at me weird he was kind of getting irascible on me. I asked him if he still went to Elkton, his old school, he said not anymore… that he was at Pencey now.

Our conversation was getting interminable, but it wasn’t bad… it was quite affable, for me, because when we were leaving he made a face of abhor.

MY lovely Wordly Wise

you, the one who teaches me words.

who is conscientious

the one who is audacious by letting be written all over

you for being a prudent book and never lying to me

you are serene,

and some times you rankle me.

you have been rebuked by every kid who gets to have you

by lackadaisical people...

you.

My lovley Wordly Wise.

The Catcher in the Rye Poem

Lies, lies, lies brought him, Holden

To the top of a hill,

With the thought.

The thought of how to say goodbye.

Tik-tok the clock stopped

Walking over to old Spencer

Still, thinking on what to say.

BOOM. A knock on the door.

“come in”

again. lies, lies, lies

the story of his life.

Pretty Little Liars written by Sara Shepard is a realistic fiction book. This book is about a group of four girls that during their seventh grade vacation, their friend, Allison, the girl who united them disappeared.

Three years had passed and still no answer about Allison.

Aria, Spencer, Emily and Hanna that were best friends with Allison had separated.

“Spencer Covets her sisters boyfriend, Emily crushes on the new girl at school, Aria fantasizes about her English teacher, and Hanna uses some ugly tricks to stay beautiful.”

During the seventh grade vacations all the girls went to sleep to Spencer’s barn, which was right in front of her house. Allison thought that by telling each other secrets it would never break them apart, so all of the girls thought she was right. So they would tell every single thing to Allison, although Ally didn’t tell much about her life… during there sleepover, Spencer and Ally got mad at each other and Spencer told ally it was time to leave, and she left.

Next day Allison’s mother, Mrs. DiLaurentis calls Spencer to ask if her daughter was still there. No. She was not there.

That is when Allison disappeared.

During the three years, of them being apart, Aria moved to Iceland, then she came back, had a crush on this guy she met at the bar which resulted to be her new school English teacher.

Emily, the perfect daughter, student, person, has the perfect boyfriend, friends, military dad, and a “wonderful” mother.

Hanna used to be fat and wanted to loose weight so that the boy she liked, Sean, would ask her out. Also for her benefits to be beautiful. She had bulimia. She also started to hangout with Mona, the girl who used to be a loser

Spencer’s sister, Melissa, was getting married. When Spencer met her sister’s fiancé she thought he was a really nice guy and started digging him. He kind of like her also (still being Melissa’s fiancé) so he… kissed Spencer. Melissa saw him do it and well, bye-bye…

The girls have been receiving anonymous texts to their cell phones from “A” talking about the secrets only Allison knew about. And threatening them with it. So they want to find out who is “A” and what happened to Allison.

To find out about everything, you must read the next books form the series.

I believe that all the girls in the world that like, mystery, drama, and suspense should read this book, it was WONDERFUL! I loved it, one of the best books I have ever read.
