Jack starts to change some after a while. In chapter five, Jack is really mean to Piggy. They are all talking about the beast and how they feel about it, and when Piggy tries to talk Jack interupts him by saying, "Who cares what you believe-Fatty" (90). This really upsets Piggy, and makes him sad. Piggy does nothing wrong to Jack and he is just mean to him. Later on, in chapter seven Jack starts to change a little, and for the better. While they are out looking for the beast Piggy is left to watch the littluns. They all notice that it will be a while until they get back to Piggy, and Jack says "we mustn't let anything happen to Piggy, must we" (117).
Then, we start to have another change, but this time for the worst. Jack and his people go onto Ralph's side of the island and steal stuff. At first Ralph and Piggy think they took the conch, but they soon realized they took Piggy's glasses. Ralph and Piggy go onto Jack's side to talk to him, but he doesn't really care about them. Piggy makes Jack made by calling him a thief repeatedly. Piggy starts to hold up the conch so that everyone will listen, which didn't end too well. All of the sudden, "The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee" the conch was now broken. "Piggy said nothing, with no time for even a grunt, traveled through the air sideways from the rock, turning over as he went." (181). Jack has now killed Piggy.

12/10 books read
So far this year I have read Lord of the Flies, the shorts stories, Before I Fall, If I Stay, Somebody Everyone listens too, Uglies, and The Five People You Meet In Heaven. Reading these has showed me a lot. It showed me that one of my main weaknesses is reading around people. When I read in louder environments, I realized that my mind will start to drift off. I have to make sure that I am in a quiet place while I read. I also noticed that I usually try to take my time when I read, so that I understand what is going on better.
Whenever I read, I like to read books about people around my age, or people going through the same thing as I am. That's one reason I pick the books that I read. When I get really into a book I notice a lot more things, and start to relate myself to the book, and put my self in the situation. One of my goals for the end of the year is to read about 12 books. I think I can accomplish this, if I keep on the same track that I am on.

11/5 free post
At this time, most of us were probably thinking when is Thanksgiving going to be here. I'm ready for a break, and I don't want to be at school anymore. Then, before we knew it Thanks giving was here and it was time for our break. We start our break, ready to do stuff, but before we knew it our break was over and it was time for school to start back. The First day is always the hardest, no one wants to be there.
As I get to school i notice that a lot of people weren't there. Some of them a little late, but a lot were sick. I felt like everyone around me was either sick or getting sick and I just wanted them away from me. Before I knew it, Everyone started getting better again, and now all we want is our Christmas break. It's so close, yet so far away
