My symbolic story

I went to the store and bought a turkey. At my house we always have a turkey at Thanksgiving meal, it is tradition. Then I prepared the turkey for the feast we were to have. I also prepared some stuffing and some other fillers. I prepared the turkey nice and hot for the family. The turkey is the second best part. The best is the family. The all hater at my house and we have fun from there, but that is only half the day.

The next half is we get in the car and drive to my other family's house. I hate the car because it is so confined but that is what people do for there family. We then drive to New Orleans. I eat and i take a nap on the way back. That is my Thanksgiving day story and I hope you enjoyed.

Using a Xbox can be a very complex task, but with this quick guide you will be using your Xbox One in no time at all. The first thing is to plug in the correct cords to your Xbox and to the TV.

Battlefield 1

My free post this week will be about video games. I know shocking right. This week I will be talking about Battlefield 1. This game was made by EA and Dice and they hit the nail on the head with this game. They wanted it to be fun but also historically accurate. They accomplished both of these things in the same game. This was a home run in design, but also fun factor.

This game looks great as well. It is so beautiful. The building look real and the bushes look real. Everything looks so real. I love the accurate sounds and the story. EA and Dice pulled real life war stories from WW1 and put them in the game. This game is also very educational. You learn about the people involved and lots of other thing. This game makes the WW very sad but also shines light on the great parts as well.

LOTF Critical Scene

A very critical scene in LOTF is when Piggy bites the dust. This scene on page 181 is a critical scene because of what it represents. It represents that the savages are more insane than ever, but it symbolizes the death of civilization on the island. Since that is what Piggy represented; him dying is the death of civilization. Another symbol that is destroyed is the conch which represents the same thing as piggy.

On page 181, Ralph states that he is chief of the island’s civilization, which is now gone. This is important to the whole book because the idea of civilization lingered throughout everybody until this point. This is what kept the savages as civil as they had been. Once civilization is destroyed the savages have free rein over the island and they can do whatever they want. Never the less, this is also important because a favorite character died.

What do you do in your free time, or do you have none?

I have some free time throughout my day. When I get home I do my hour of homework. Then I go up to my room and play my video games. This is just so relaxing to me and I just love it. I love how you can be transported to a new dimension. I also love to watch YouTube and to watch TV. I love how funny they can be or how informational they can be. I like both, and that is why I am a nerd. Anyway, that is what I do without baseball. Baseball is a different story.

The baseball season is a very rough time on a student. I have about 2 hours of baseball practice a day and that is on top of my 1-2 hours of homework a night. This is a recipe for disaster when free time is concerned. I am done with my homework at about 5 pm and then we go to dinner and I need to shower and so on and so forth. This eats up a lot of my precious time that I want to play video games or watch something. I struggle to find my free time during this but I eventually figure it out.
