QUESTION 1: 7. How did what you read today make you feel? Why?
RESPONSE 1: When I read my book today it made me feel like everyone is able to stop anything bad that has happened during school hours. Also, even teachers that started a project can end it. I think this because the teacher Ben Ross stopped his project the Wave. The reason he has stopped the wave was because kids were being crazy like the Nazi and the leader Hitler.
QUESTION 2: 19. What in the book upsets you or bothers you? Why?
RESPONSE 2: This book makes me upset because the book should have been longer. Also, because I think there should have been more conflicts because there was two major conflicts there should have been three in total. One of the conflicts was The Wave. The Wave was a classroom project that turned into a disaster. The other conflict was Laurie and David breaking up.I think the other conflict should be That class versus another class to see who's class project makes the most money.

QUESTION 1: 1. How is a character in your book similar to a character in another book, story, or movie
RESPONSE 1: I think Laurie Sanders is like Ponyboy from the book called The Outsiders.

In the Outsiders Pony helps people in a church when the church gets on fire.
QUESTION 2: 8. What do you think about a particular character's actions? Was he/she right or wrong to do that
RESPONSE 2: I think Laurie's boyfriend David is doing the right thing. The thing he did was hit Laurie. That was the right thing to do because she was acting weird and becoming stupid. Another action that was right was when David and his friends stole Laurie's computer to change everyone's idea of the wave. This made Laurie very mad.

“End of all crazy events”
Perspective:Piggy
Dear Journal
The place Ralph hides in is in those thick bushes to stay safe from Jack's Tribe because the tribe was dropping giant rocks to scare Ralph out of the thick bushes. Jack and the other boys were chasing Ralph and they were cordon. Sam gave Ralph meat because he didn't want Ralph to starve. When Ralph got the meat from Sam he was distended. Samneric join Jack's tribe because they had no choice because Jack would probably kill they like a diddle. Roger had a stick with both sides sharpened like what happened to the Pig. Jack's tribe burns the island so Ralph runs form his hiding spot. This make all the boys run away from the island. What a bunch of immature little kids. When my good friend Ralph runs to the beach he discovers a Naval Officer. That mean Jack appears like a hobo on the beach. His cloths are all mess up and ugly. The boy who cannot remember his name is Percival Wymes Madison. Ralph takes the responsibility for what happened on the island and Jack doesn't care because he doesn't want to be in trouble. The nice Naval Officer is disappointed at all the boys because they are all messed up and all ugly to be part of the British. Also the Naval Officer was mad at the boys for burning the island and when they saw the clothes of the kids they were freaked out because there were these kids on this island that had no clothes.

Chapter 11 Castle Rock
“The end of the island”
Dear Journal
In the beginning of this chapter Piggy tells Ralph to blow the conch and make an assembly. Only the boys from Ralph’s tribe appear. That means Piggy, Samneric, and some littluns. One reason Piggy will give Jack to return his glasses is he and Ralph will make a fire for Jack and his tribe. If Jack gives Piggy his glasses back Piggy will be delirious. Jack stole a talisman from Piggy and Ralph. Ralph brings the conch with them to comfort Jack and his tribe. Roger was the boy who challenged Ralph, Piggy, and Samneric. When Jack appears he tells his boys to try to tie Samneric. Then Roger pushes a rock and kills Piggy. Ralph screams at Jack and says “thief”. Later Ralph calls Jack "You're a beast, and a swine and a bloody, bloody thief!" Ralph leaves truculently. After the fight or conversation with Jack Ralph runs away and leaves Samneric tied up with Jack. When Piggy is talking with Jack’s tribe Roger pushes a rock and it hits Piggy.
Roger and Jack are responsible for killing Piggy. Jack is more responsible because he told Roger to do that. Roger was just there to listen to Jack because he said to Roger something to threaten him. When Piggy died Ralph was cessation. Jack also said that he hates littluns and this is what he said “Sucks to the littluns”.

Chapter 10: The Shell and the Glasses
"No Conch and no more glasses"
Perspective:Simon
Dear Journal
This is me Simon as a ghost and I will just write my last journal entree. The scene between Ralph and Piggy is right after I die. Ralph says to Piggy that my death was on purpose. Ralph knew from the start when Jack left the tribe of boys that Jack would kill me. Piggy thinks my death was just an accident. Jack did not mean to kill me he was trying to protect his tribe from the beast.
Jack's rules for his tribe is if you don't listen to Jack you will get beat up or get threatened to get beat up. When this boy named Wilfred did not listen to Jack he threatened Wilfred. This is not fare for the boys in Jack's tribe because if they are far away from Jack they can not hear him. Jack can also threaten the boys and say "I will kill you”. Also Jack said to not mention anything to Ralph and Piggy or else Jack will beat the boys up.
In this next paragraph Jack, Maurice, and Roger plan something to steal something from Ralph and Piggy's camp side. Jack tells Maurice and Roger to help him get something from Piggy. The special object Jack and the other two boys steal is Piggy's glasses. Without Piggy's glasses Ralph can not start another fire and they won't get rescued. Now that Jack made a new tribe. Lots of worst things happen like more people are dying. How dare Jack and his tribe kill Piggy?
Another bad thing that happens was when Jack invaded Ralph's camp just to steal Piggy's glasses. Ralph even said to Jack they would have given Jack some fire if they asked for it. Now that Jack stole Piggy's glasses Ralph now wants to get in a fight with Jack. Even though Sam and Eric knew that they were outnumbered they both wanted to fight with their spears. When Jack said grab them to Samneric they both grab Ralph and Piggy. Now that Sam and Eric betrayed Ralph and with Piggy dead Ralph is by himself and runs away from Castle Rock. If I was still a live I would have stayed with Ralph and help him with anything he needed. Now I will never forgive Jack.
