Lord of the Flies – Chapters 9, 10,11, 12
1. What does Simon learn about the beast?
2. What are Piggy’s last words? What does it signify about society?
3. Who is the Lord of the Flies? What does it represent?
4. Why is the naval officer disappointed in the boys?
5. Make connections between this story and other books, movies, tv, or a real-life situation.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Simon discovers that the so called beast of the island, in really nothing more than the body of a dead airman. His parachute had become tangled and stuck in the trees. Simon cuts the lines of the parachute and allows the body to slip away. He realizes that he has to go and tell the other boys that there is no beast.

2.His last words are, "Which is better, law and rescue, or hunting and breaking things up?" Piggy has represented the thinker, the intellect, throughout the story. He tries to be the voice of reason but he is ignored and ridiculed. Golding is saying, through this, that reason in all of society is ignored and ridiculed.

3.In this way, the Lord of the Flies becomes both a physical manifestation of the beast, a symbol of the power of evil, and a kind of Satan figure who evokes the beast within each human being. Looking at the novel in the context of biblical parallels, the Lord of the Flies recalls the devil, just as Simon recalls Jesus.

4.The naval officer is disappointed because the boys did not behave like the good little British schoolchildren in Coral Island.

5.William Golding's 1954 novel "Lord of the Flies" tells the story of a group of young boys who find themselves alone on a deserted island. They develop rules and a system of organization, but without any adults to serve as a civilizing impulse, the children eventually become violent and brutal. This connects to life because without adults or parents children can’t provide for themselves without causing cahos. I also like to connect this book to the Nickelodeon movie Jimmy Neutrion.

By now, it was late Thursday evening. Nixon and the Durrs left and went home. Attorney Fred Gray, meanwhile, had learned about Parks’s arrest, had spoken with Rosa, and agreed to represent her. Then he called Jo Ann Robinson, whom he knew from the Claudette Colvin case, and Robinson, in turn, notified several fellow teachers who were members of the Women’s Political Council. "It was all happening quickly,” Gray recalled. "The mood was electric. This was the beginning of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.”

Excerpt 2

While the women were working, Robinson called Nixon at home to inform him of their plans for a boycott. He too had been busy throughout the night, phoning Montgomery’s black ministers and other civic leaders, urging them to attend a meeting Friday evening to mobilize support for both the boycott and for the legal defense of Rosa Parks.

From What is a Desert? by Emilia Jackson

Deserts are often described as hot and dry, but only one of those is true all the time. There are hot deserts, but cold deserts exist as well. Some areas, such as parts of Greenland, can have winter temperatures as cold as –2 degrees Celsius! Deserts are defined as areas with very little rain and snow—less than 26 centimeters per year, on average. Although there is usually very little water available in deserts, many plant and animal species make these areas their home.

From Desert Adaptations by Diallo Abara

It may seem surprising that plants and animals can live in the desert. After all, plants and animals need water to survive, and the very definition of a desert is that it is a place with hardly any water. In addition, many deserts are extremely hot during the day. How do plants and animals survive in this harsh climate?

Both plants and animals have adaptations—either behaviors or parts of their bodies—that help them to live in the desert. For example, fennec foxes have large ears that allow heat to leave their bodies more easily. Camels store fat in their humps, which their bodies break down into food and water when those provisions are unavailable. Many small desert animals stay out of the hot sun during the day and come out to eat at night.

How is Jackson’s purpose different from Abara’s purpose?

Jackson provides information about desert climate, while Abara explains how animals can live in the desert.

Jackson gives details about the areas of the world where deserts are found, while Abara explains what a desert is.

Jackson explains how much precipitation falls in a desert, while Abara relates what animals need to survive.

Jackson describes winter desert temperatures, while Abara explains how daytime and nighttime temperatures differ.

STORIES OF USEFUL INVENTIONS, excerpt

THE MATCH

(There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.)

Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.

In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.

Which line from the parentheses paragraph shows the value of the match?

A. but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire

B. it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily

C. There never was a time when the world was without fire

Readers draw conclusions from a text when they ?

Answers

Answer:

Drawing conclusions is using information that is implied or inferred to make meaning out of what is not clearly stated. Writers give readers hints or clues that help them read between the lines, since not everything is explicitly stated or spelled out all the time. When readers make an inference or draw a conclusion, they try understand by using clues from the text and what they know from previous experiences. The conclusion is reached after thinking about details and facts. Thoughtful readers synthesize and evaluate information based on prior knowledge.

Explanation:

Readers draw conclusions from the text based on what the book either foreshadows or from information given to them throughout the book. Readers draw conclusions when they can give an explanation to an event that might not of been explained clearly.

Ex: “I went to the grocery store” the reader can draw the conclusion that I bought groceries even though it wasn’t clearly started.

Can yall give me a paragraph on Heritage in our hands (80-100) words.
Thanks...

Answers

Answer:

Heritage is a intangible commodity in our hands, we the people of the land. World Heritage Day is annually celebrated on 18th April. It tells the importance of ancient historical buildings and their preservations. Across the globe, there are various monuments built in the historical period. For the protection of their infrastructure, World Heritage Day is celebrated. World Heritage means historical, cultural, educational etc

Heritage is the full range of our inherited traditions, monuments, objects, and culture. Most important, it is the range of contemporary activities, meanings, and behaviors that we draw from them.
Heritage includes, but is much more than preserving, excavating, displaying, or restoring a collection of old things. It is both tangible and intangible, in the sense that ideas and memories--of songs, recipes, language, dances, and many other elements of who we are and how we identify ourselves--are as important as historical buildings and archaeological sites.
Heritage is, or should be, the subject of active public reflection, debate, and discussion. What is worth saving? What can we, or should we, forget? What memories can we enjoy, regret, or learn from? Who owns "The Past" and who is entitled to speak for past generations? Active public discussion about material and intangible heritage--of individuals, groups, communities, and nations--is a valuable facet of public life in our multicultural world.
Heritage is a contemporary activity with far-reaching effects. It can be an element of far-sighted urban and regional planning. It can be the platform for political recognition, a medium for intercultural dialogue, a means of ethical reflection, and the potential basis for local economic development. It is simultaneously local and particular, global and shared.

The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.

Read the excerpt from "Freedom Walkers” by Russell Freedman.

Under Montgomery’s segregation laws, Claudette was in fact entitled to her seat behind the whites-only section. If no seats were available for blacks to move back to as additional white passengers boarded the bus, then they were not required to give up their seats. That was the official policy. But in actual practice, whenever a white person needed a seat, the driver would order blacks to get up and move to the back of the bus, even when they had to stand in the aisle.

What is the central idea of the excerpt?

-The segregation laws could be unfair to both Black and White bus riders.
-Bus drivers followed the segregation laws even when they were not fair.
-Black riders could be ordered to move even though it was against the law.
-The laws said Black people did not have to give their seats to white people.

There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel" experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntouristencouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation.Which paragraphs address the counterclaim of the argument?
