Thesis statement

Pigs have a big symbol in LOTF. The pigs always seem to be the topic someway. The pigs symbolize civilization and order. "They knew very well why he hadn't: because of the enormity of the knife descending and cutting into living flesh; because of the unbearable blood." (Golding 31) This is what happened when Jack hesitated to kill the pig.

 This shows that at this point in the story that civilization and order are still intact. When Jacks hesitates to harm a living creature; he refuses to leave order for the time being. The pigs are still unharmed but have been threatened. Immediately after Jack hesitated order begins to fall apart. The order does not completely leave but is less stable. The more pigs killed, the more savage the hunters become. The more pigs killed the more order and good ideals slip away.

Jetpack Joyride used to be one of my favorite games. Jetpack Joyride is a game where you play as a character that stills a jet pack from a science facility. The point of the game is to get as far in distance as you can. The game only has one control, which includes only tapping the screen to give power to the jet pack. There are also special vehicles in which a each has a special power. This game was one of the first games I ever played, and I recently downloaded again. This has brought back nostalgia. Jetpack Joyride brings back memories of times that were less stressful. This game while it is a fun game, I like because it brings back memories of good friends in which I haven't talked to in years. These friends that played Jetpack Joyride as well. Jetpack Joyride has also brought a sense of no worries in the world, which was the case when I first played. This game has overall brought my mood up and made me happy to be alive.

Blitzkrieg

I am doing my research topic on the German blitzkrieg from World War II. My favorite part of this story is the origin story. I like how after the lose of the Great War, the Germans have rebounded with an almost unstoppable force. The Germans avoiding the trenches that caused so much pain in WW I, invade almost all of Europe initially successful. See what happens next week on European history! This just sounds like a reality TV show. The Germans had such a brilliant strategy that astonishes me today and shocked the world when it happened. The Germans would use armored divisions to punch pockets in enemy lines. The armored divisions would shoot through them, exposing the flanks of the enemies. Then they would to continue to encircle the enemy forces, draining their supplies. The Germans would then pounce on the pocket wiping out the enemy forces.

What have I learned in my teens?

Many things have happened to me as a teenager. The most memorable of them is being informed that the earth is flat by Josh Wilson. There have been some real life lessons that I have learned as, do not ever talk politics in public, especially with your friends. Talking about politics is really easy way to ruin relationships with people you dearly care about. I have had quite a few friends that I do not talk too much because of politics. This is a lesson, I know, many people will never learn.  The other biggest thing I have learned as a teenager, is how awesome America and its history is. When I read American history, I can not help but feel so patriotic and respect those who have sacrificed to get America to where it is. This is something I learned while researching various topics in school. All the history classes end up talking about America in some way, shape, or form. This is my favorite thing I have learned at school and as a teenager.
