This week our group had a discussion on the book "Lord of the Flies" once again. Most of us have gotten up to at least chapter 5/6, and the story is starting off slow. It is still kind of the same old stuff. The kids are left in a deserted island, and they are to coordinate and so to survive. Their basic plan was to keep a fire/smoke going on the top of the mountain in case some nearby ship comes by and rescue them, hunt pigs to survive, have a cook to cook the food, and some of them are also trying to avoid the supposedly "beast" that is mysteriously on the island lurking at them. Conflict was heavily discussed in our group because the kids on the island are starting to have arguments about the things they are doing. Conflicts always happen even in the real world, I could see that happening more in younger people, and the results of a conflict could lead to negative things because arguments tend to make people mad and do stupid things.
Group discussion this week was pretty decent. All group members contributed evenly and mostly tolerating, but we sometimes would sidetrack , but thats minimal. I hope I can better opinions in the future because I think my ideas are just on the first layer, would have to work on getting into that second layer that we learned about earlier this year.
YOu write about conflict. Your examples are very genteral. Try and bring in specific examples to develop your writing. Use of quotes will help with this as well. When you make a connection you wna to be specific in your writing as well.
