Symbolism 11/28
Every year since I can remember, we have always eaten the same things for Thanksgiving. I grew up eating turkey, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, rolls, mashed potatoes, rice, and lots of other casseroles. I always look forward to Thanksgiving, and I am grateful for the food I have to eat, although it is the same every year.

How to decorate a Christmas tree 11/28
Since the Christmas tree is the centerpiece of your holiday decorations, it has to be done right. Decorating a Christmas tree can be time consuming. Here a few steps to make decorating a the tree easier.
Step 1: You will need to gather lights, garland, and ornaments. The amount of decorations will depend on the size of your tree. You would need more of each if your tree is bigger. Step 2: Lights are the first decoration that goes on the tree. The lights are wrapped around ever branch. After stringing all of them on, turn them on to make sure they work. Step 3: Then you can add garland. Some use garland to add color to their tree. Step 4: Lastly the ornaments go on. The bigger ornaments go in bigger gaps, or the bottom.

LOTF 11/14
Lord of the Flies had many important scenes. One of the most critical scenes is from chapter 12. Ralph is now alone and has no one. Samneric try to warn him that Jack has sharpened both ends of a stick. Ralph does not understand what this means, but as a reader, we know jack is out to kill Ralph. In this scene, Ralph is scared for his life because of Jack's determination to hurt Ralph. We see Ralph hiding in the thickets as the hunters are feet away from him. This scene is critical because it shows how the island has fallen apart. The boys are killing each other for fun, burning the island down, and have lost all civilization. The significance is how humans can change drastically in such a small amount of time.

Thanksgiving is an important holiday for my family. My Dad, Mom, brothers, sister and I all go to my grandmother's house for dinner. My cousins and family friends are also there. We all visit while dinner is cooking. My grandmother always cooks a turkey and many sides such as mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other vegetables. Last year, it was cold outside so we lit a fire. I hope it will be cold again this year.
Once the food is ready, we all pray before fixing ur plates. The food is always really good. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays.

LOTF response 11/7
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--!" (91)

The short passage above shows a lot about the dynamic characters in "The Lord of the Flies." Ralph, the leader is trying to keep everyone together and organized. He feels that the only way to get rescued is that everyone needs to listen to him and obey the rules. Ralph is adult- like in a disciplined way. Jack, on the other hand, is the polar opposite. He thinks he is a natural leader because of his choir experience. He speaks his opinions and tries to take control most of the time. Jack wants to have fun and take advantage of the no adult life. He thinks they will get rescued without Ralph's rules. Also, Jack is all about hunting. Both Ralph and Jack have different personalities and strategies.
Have you ever wondered how one decision could change your life? 11/7
One decision could change your life. Choosing to do or not do something could impact the rest of your life. One big make or break decision is choosing a high school. Choosing one school over another could place you with new friendships that you would have never had if you had not chosen that school. Another decision that may change your path is a career. Careers will lead to different lifestyles. In one career, you may have to move to another place whereas another job may require you to stay. Recruitments will lead you into a new environment and surroundings.
Decisions make up all of our lives. They can be good or bad. It is all your opinions and others. If you are someone who is dependant on other's thoughts then you could never make your own decisions. Self-consciences may limit your decisions in life.
