Today I am here to teach you how to ignore anyone and everyone. We will be going over some tips on how to ignore people and some ways to make them so annoyed that they will leave you alone. First off a few good things to have is a jacket or something with a hood. Also a pair of earbuds and some music on your phone. Now you want to find a comfortable place to sit. You want to put on your music loud enough where you can't hear anyone around clearly and put on your hood. You may kind of look like your asleep which will make most people just leave you alone and you can sit in peace.
Now say you don't have some of the things or people don't leave you alone you may have to try a different way. So when people start just randomly talking to you or telling you some story and you really could care less I would advise you to just tune them out. Every once in a while nod your head and they may think your listening. If they start asking questions you have two options. If they are little questions that don't take time to elaborate on like, "do we have math homework?" then just give them a simple yes or no. But if it some questions like, "what are your opinions on that?" or, "how do you feel about that?" and you don't want to talk about right now then you got to find another way. Two ways that work but also can make people mad is by answering with another question over and over again until they give up or answering with remarks like, "who knows, I don't" or, "it really depends on this and that you know". The goal is eventually they'll leave you alone and you can go back to doing whatever it was that you wanted to do.

Hollow City
I have started to read a knew book called Hollow City, which is the second book in the Peculiar Children series. It picks up after the Children escape the monsters and have to flee the Island. They are on a few boats trying to get to the mainland. A huge storm comes in and some trouble comes up. Eventually they make it too mainland but they are in the wrong place.
The author used really good details on describing the storm and the events that happened. Also the book has already got pretty intense sense they are being hunted down. The author is still using pictures to give you an idea of whats going on. So far I am really enjoying the book, and its beginning was really good. I think I am going to enjoy this book a lot.
LOTF
An important seen in LOTF was the seen where Piggy is killed. This is important because one of the main characters are killed, but also the conch is destroyed. First off Piggy, he has been a very logical character. He has represented intellect, reason, and, logic. He has tried to maintain order through out the book. When he is killed it represents the death of all of theses traits. Next is the conch, it represents order and them working together. It gets shattered into pieces and that represents the breaking of everyone working well together.
Another thing to look at is the person who killed them which was Roger. Earlier in the book Roger is seen throwing rocks at at little kid but not being able to actually hit him. Now Roger pushes a boulder onto Piggy. This shows the progression of savagery from Roger and how he's become a sociopath. Also this shows how people are changing and how if this keeps going on they may all get killed.

Prompt
Prompt: Describe what a perfect world would be like.
Most people would describe a perfect world as one that has all good people and everyone is happy. One in which there is no crime, hate, wars, and all the other terrible things around. It could be like a hippies paradise where everyone is at harmony. But heres the thing this could never be done. If it was ever accomplished something would mess up and the system would collapse throwing humanity back to their usual selfish ways.
If the idealistic perfect world can't be reached then what can be reached? Well a good life is probably the closest thing too it. A good life is different for every one depending on what they want in life. I would say a few common things would be being happy most of the time, having a place to live, having someone that cares about them, having an ok job, and having enough money to support them. A perfect world can never be reached so you shouldn't try to reach it, but instead you should strive for a happy life.
LOTF Response
[Piggy:] "I don't agree with all Jack said, but with some. 'Course there isn't a beast in the forest. How could there be? What would a beast eat?"
"Pig."
"We eat pig."
"Piggy!"
"I got the conch!" said Piggy indignantly. "Ralph--they ought to shut up, oughtn't they? You shut up, you littluns! What I mean is that I don't agree about this here fear. Of course there isn't nothing to be afraid of in the forest. Why--I been there myself! You'll be talking about ghosts and such things next. We know what goes on and if there's something wrong, there's someone to put it right."
He took off his glasses and blinked at them. The sun had gone as if the light had been turned off. [...]
"Life," said Piggy expansively, "is scientific, that's what it is. In a year or two when the war's over they'll be traveling to Mars and back. I know there isn't no beast--not with claws and all that, I mean--but I know there isn't no fear either."
Piggy paused.
"Unless--"
Ralph moved restlessly.
"Unless what?"
"Unless we get frightened of people." (83-84)
This passage is a very important passage because this foreshadows simon's death later on in the book. In the passage they are talking about the beast which has been a key part in the story. At the end Piggy brings up the idea that the beast is a human. When Simon is killed they think he is the beast because it was raining and it was hard to see. Also Simon constantly says the only beast on the island is people. This links in all the other clues of simon's death and makes them make sense when he is killed.
Another reason this is significant is because this is one of the last times they are together before they split apart. This shows how they've been fighting a lot and why they split up. Piggy is still trying to use logic while everyone else dose not care. This also shows the split in the groups happening. This foreshadows the split in the groups and why it will happen.
