Simon has become sad? Im assuming since he wasnt eating "Eat damn you" (Golding, p.75) Also I feel he is more timid, he was scared to touch ralph pg.67. So im wondering whats going on with that. He just seems a little different, like he is slowly changing.

    The first part of the story The Lord of the Flies was really interesting and incredibly descriptive. I loved that the book described the birds having voices and communicating with each other, like humans, on page 7. When I first read the words “. . .that pilot,” on page 8, that told me that someone must have dropped Piggy off on the island, in an airplane. But the thing that really grabbed my attention was when Piggy and Ralph, started wondering if they were on an island or not, on page 14.…

The jury knew Tom was innocent but back then, blacks were always guilty no matter the situaton.…

The trees around him stood still, but the air was stiller as if the whole world were frozen in time. As the sun sank behind the horizon, a cold wind broke the stillness. Red and orange leaves fluttered to life in the gust of wind. Some of them broke free from their branches to dance in the breeze.…

    I feel that Chapters 1-8 of The Kite Runner are windows in the book. As I read pages 1-5, I realized that Amir and Hassan’s friendship is similar to those of other children who were their age or younger. First, Amir and Hassan playing games together is similar to what kids their age would do together. Second, Amir and Hassan getting into trouble is common among kids their age. This makes The Kite Runner a window for me.…
