Jack and Hitler’s similarities

The Lord of the Flies, by William Golding is about schoolboys evacuating an airplane crash into an island. Jack is one of the boys, he is a leader and puts himself before anyone else. Jack and Hitler are dictators because they both steal their power, manipulate people so they can keep their power, and controlled their followers through resources.

Jack and Hitler Both used violence and intimidation as a way to steal and keep their power. Jack gathered all the boys and shows off his strength by doing this he gains the loyalty of the boys except for Piggy, Simon, and the twins “He was a chief now in the truth; and he made stabbing motions with his spear, from his left hand dangled Piggy’s broken glasses”(4). Jack took Piggy’s glasses and his glasses symbolize hope of the kids on the island because it is used as a tool to start a fire.

Hitler and Jack showed a lot of violence when he kills the pig. “I thought I might kill” (4), Jack gets his hunters to kill the sow then after they tortured it. Jack uses food to control the boys, Jack makes up an idea of the mysterious creature knows as “The Beast” that none of the boys have ever seen, by telling the boys this he makes himself try to look like a better leader, better than Ralf. Jack has the mentality that killing is a way of hope. He wants to hunt and control to survive. Hitler was leader of Germany which he placed Jews under strict regulations and disabilities in many European cities. Hitler kept water, food, and money from these people. Hitler had power over just about everyone and would lie to them just like jack did.” This year will go down in history. For the first time a civilized nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!” (3). Hitler didn’t think police were as strong and powerful as him her

Jack and Hitler limit people’s free speech. Jack is trying to control the boys. Golding writes “Conch! Conch! We didn’t need the conch anymore, we know who ought to say things” (4). Jack is telling the boys he is in control. He can make big decisions without the boy’s opinions. Hitler used propaganda he took control of all kinds of forms of communication. “The stronger must dominate and not mate with the weaker, which would signify the sacrifice of its own higher nature. Only the born weakling can look upon this principle as cruel, and it he does so it is merely because he is a feebler nature and narrower mind; for it’s such a law did not direct the process of evolution then the higher development of organic life would not be contrivable at all” (2). Hitler didn’t care about what anyone had to say, he didn’t want his people interfering with Jews because he was trying to convince German people that Jews were their enemies.

Jack and Hitler are both dictators because they both steal their power, by manipulating people so they both can keep it. They also limit people’s free speech by controlling what everyone did. Both Jack and Hitler are selfish for taking away from people just to keep their power.            

Saturday August 24, 2013 two days after my birthday. This was the day of my Quinceanera I have been waiting for this day for about 1 year. It was Saturday and I was up at 5am to eat breakfast and to go get my hair and make-up did at my mom’s friend’s salon. After I finished getting my hair and make-up did I had to hustle back home to get my dress, by the time I got home my court and the party bus was waiting for me. I was 30 minutes late to my service at St. Mary’s, I felt so embarrassed because not only did I have my family waiting but I also had the priest waiting. After the service was over my court and I got back on the party bus and \went to Pismo beach to take pictures. When we got to the beach and got off the party bus we had three photographers and one person recording everything. Many people were congratulating me and my main partner because they thought it was a wedding, also many of the people there were taking pictures for the same reason. We then went to go eat and cruised on the bus until it was time to go back to the reception. Three to Four hours went by and there was so much people it was really hard to walk through everyone, we got about twenty minutes to practice our dances, so my court and I decided to do our choreography to get it over with so we can get that out of the way and just have a good time. I remember my mother talking to me before it was time for me to preform, she told me how beautiful I looked, how proud of me she was, and how much she loved me. I also remember my dad tearing up when it was “father daughter dance” he was telling me how amazing my performance was and how much he loved me. The next morning I was so exhausted because I had to get up at 8am because my family had stayed at my house because they had come down from Washington DC. Everyone wanted me to open up gifts but I had to have my mom help me because I had hundreds of presents and envelopes to open and I was really sleeping. The day of my quince was one of the best days I’ve ever had and that I will forever remember. The reason I think this is one of the best days is because this day I got to be myself and that I got to open up and me myself. Also many people had complemented me which made me have confidence about myself till this day.

China's Presentation

Reflection

Before this China unit we did in class I didn't know anything about China. What I think about China now is that it has a very interesting history, knowing how poor they were and all the sacrifices they had to make for their families was very amazing. Now that I know a bit more about China and it's history also where how it's located in East Asia I think I would like to visit China in the future.

What I personally think about the presentation software known as "Prezi" is that it isn't like a normal PowerPoint it has a little kick to it. This software allows the user to share ideas that have been created to make the presentation a lot more interesting. From what I know about Prezi I think it will be very helpful in the future and I would try it somewhere along the road. Working with PowerPoint was easy because, I myself have been using it for a long time I've done just about every presentation with PowerPoint. I don't know a lot about "Easybib" but I liked using it because it provides note taking and research tools that are easy to use and are also very educational. Something I would have done differently for this project is I would have used Perzi  for my presentation a lot more fun and interesting.
