ReplyDeleteThursday period 5... Mrs Bernard is going to try her best in mornimg, to get you a computer room. If there is one free then you will be free to study the blog and all of the different sections on it. I want you to do what Jen has done above: hunt for resources and add them onto the correct page for your future reference - this will be a God send for you on the run upto the exams! I'll make new pages now and want you to add to them what you can - if you can't do it in school (no comp room or it won't let you post) then just work through what I've put on there for now, and add to it from home as ongoing homework and revision.
ReplyDeleteYou have made this whole thing an amazing success - well done to all of you who contribute (especially those who contribute on a regular basis) you make it all worth while! Miss you all - post and I will teach you from my sick bed! Mrs J x
If you can't get a computer room, use your noodles and be independent in your studies - read LOTF, work from the presentations on the blog - use smart board and computers at back of the room, answer any of the practice exam questions you have been given, annotate your anthologies, have a look in the English office and/or see Mrs B for revision guides that you can steal notes from... etc. etc. You know where to go with all this, just pretend I'm in the room nagging and annoying Clayton! Hey Clayton! Mrs J x
ReplyDeleteP.s. If you are in our classroom - watch the link that Jen posted - it's the plot for LOTF and will not only help, you will enjoy it better than the black and white film! Mrs J x

ReplyDeleteMy stream of consciousness
ReplyDelete'Maybe civilization here might not be that bad. I mean Ralph seems to have everyone's trust and understanding. He's organised everyone to help do things in order to save everyone's lives.He seems so understanding and willing so i try to help and now, i regret it because he shouted out that name "Piggy! Piggy!" he shouted, that name belongs home, home with the tw@t's that pinned it to my head. And made it my new name i thought i left that at home along with my auntie and the civilization i was born into, but. It seems not. But I'm now stuck with the name it was obviously in some sort of perment ink on my forehead but that ink has seeped through my pale skin and has scrawled itself onto my skull like a forgein tattoo...
my stream of consciousness
ReplyDeleteWe crashed. we crashed on a deserted island, just us boys here. Ralphs cheif. He told them my name was piggy even I practically begged him not to, they all laughed at me after that. Jack tried to worm his way into being chief, it didn't work, only his stupid choir friends wanted him cheif. Ralph won hands down because he's a nicer theres something odd about Jack. They went to go and see if there was anyone else on the island, I wanted to go with them but they took simon instead. Jack said they didnt want me, Ralph explained i'd be more useful with the little ones and taking names. So I did as I was told and took names. Ralphs nice to me, only person who ever has been. Apart from Aunty...

ReplyDeleteWe decided it'd be a good idea to light a fire, So we got ordered to go collect wood, when I say 'we' I mean the biggun's, but not me, I had to stay with the littleun's and tell em' a story. It just ain't fair, but who cares what I think! It's like Ralph he say's were friends, but then he blurted out that I used to get called 'Piggy'! Some friend he is.
When the biggun's got back from collecting wood, it finally came to us that we had nothing to light the fire with. With a quick snap Ralph nicked my glasses.
"Give em' back, I can't see" I shouted.
But who listens to me, they treat me like a animal.
This isn't the Beelzebub, but I thought it represented the devil within everyone! :]

ReplyDeleteWe needed fire but there wasnt any on the island. We had to make some. I didnt want them to but they did it anyway. I tried to stop them but they wouldnt listen. I said no, I always so no! they never seem to here me. They took them and now they've broken. Now I cant see. It makes things scary when i cant see. Maybe now i cant see what anything is, the snake thing will come for me. Maybe this is what its been waiting for. I want auntie.

ReplyDeleteThe boys are splitting into two groups. They need to stay together. I can't do anything. They won't listen. I'm just Piggy. No-one will listen to me. Not even Ralph, he will just shrug it off like the beast; I don't blame him. It's easier being naive. Less worrying. I wish I could give him my glasses so he could see clearly. I'd sacrifice my sight so that they can see. It's safer for us all that way.

ReplyDeleteA dark boredom fills the street with nothing more than a few candles lighting it with movement. Still & dark. Silent except for the sound of burning candles.
Footsteps break. This silence has been broken; like his voice a few years ago. Her eyes still atune to the lights of the club she got her taxi from.
"Any spare change?"
Not the time of year to get thrown out. All he had was a white blanket for a pillow. She wasn't much better off than him; yeah she had a job but... it wasn't a ladies work to say the least.
A look of ice shone right through them. Blood freezing in an eternal moment. Shattered in the heat of the hospital.
Needles in her arms. He'd never seen a woman like this, but compelled to watch. She, was LIKE a stranger to him.
"Know her?"
Head shaking. He lied. He had to.
They choked in the steel room; claustrophobic in the heat. Ice turning to water turning to steam.
She couldn't look at him. She couldn't make sense of what happened. No-one could.
Size thirteen boot. Ironed trousers. Six foot four. Chest in shadow. At the sight. HE PELTED IT! He'd left her once. He could do it again.

ReplyDeleteDays have turned to weeks now, and wild pigs are to be seen on the nightly barbecues. Piggy himself is now becoming more and more exasperated towards myself and the other boys on the island. Been working for days now. And look! Despite the lack of cooperation from the little'uns, Piggy and our so called "hunters", these shelters are really starting to take place.
The heat doesn't help our progress though, its nothing compared to old blighty.
This island is alien to us.....but strangely I feel a part of me has always been here...Strange?

Hunt! Hunt! Hunt! "kill the pigs, cut their throats". Hahahahahaha. Why do they worry about the fire? I don't understand it. All the little'uns believe in the beast. I can use that. I can take power through their fear, of the beast. I will control this island. "We are going to have some fun"! I wish those pesky butterflies would f**k off.

ReplyDeleteIt made a sort of deafening hiss and then it made to run. They jumped on its back and i slid underneath dragging the glistening hilt through its neck and relesing a liquid of red everywhere and on my body. i stood over the reward holding the Weapon in my hand. we cheered, we sang, we were happy !! we had won !!
I cant seem to make a prezi as it says i already got a account but im sure i havent, i dunno, im working on it :)
My stream of consciousness
ReplyDeleteI thort I was finally getting through to him. But I was wrong. He started being nice to me… even sticking up for me, but then he goes of with jack and his choir of hunters, and tells everyone to call me piggy, even though I begged him not to. They don’t even know my real name. I don’t think they really care, no one does.
I think they all have forgotten that I found the conch first, I should be leader. But lets face it I’d never be as good of a leader as ralph. I just want everyone to get along. I just want to be respected, instead of the group’s punching bag. I’m sick of this I’m tired, hungry and my asthma is playing up… I just wanna go home to my aunty.
Walking around aimlessly, it appeared that i was walking around in circles. It was then that i knew we were all stranded on an island. An island. That had no adults, no academies, no one to tell us what to do and for a split second, excitement occured inside of me, but then i remembered the reality of this. We couldn't stay on this island. How could we possibly survive? How could I, as leader provide for the litluns?
ReplyDeleteMrs J... Can't come to rehearsals on Wed, got an appointment with the bank. I dont normally come on Tuesdays, but dad will let me. Sorry !
This isn't really representing Beezlebub however it shows me the hidden truth within the Island. The picture sends of a creepy and uneasy vibe..

Right anyway, I am stuck here on an unknown island, with a group of boys (some big, some small) who i am slowly getting to know!
There is one who i am confident to open up to, well i told him about what they used to call me.
In my eyes Ralf is a very trustworthy person and as a result of the election he is our leader(IT SHOULD OF BEEN ME!).

ReplyDeleteSeconds to minutes. Minutes to hours. Hours to days.... I CANT take this anymore, time has no meaning on this god for saken island, everyday is the same. The scorching heat is becoming unbearable its never ending the constant sound of waves crashing, the sea birds cherping, flies swarming its burrowing into my brain with every thought i find myself questioning in what i stood for what i believe in how a civilized man should act. i need the power. Once again ralph is still not focusing on whats right he is still blinded by his ignorance aided by that fat waste of space piggy. Forget them! thats what i say, we need to survive we cant keep on waiting to be rescued we need a strong leader to move forward, we need meat forget the signal fire. its time to hunt 'kill the pigs cut their throats' mark my words i will take control of this lot yet.

ReplyDeleteI am stuck on this desert island with no adults just us boys. There is one boy who i feel close to. His name is Ralph. I trusted Ralph and told him about how the children at school used to call me Piggy. When the other boys asked me what my name was Ralph shouted out "Piggy!". All the boys laughed especially Jack. The Bigguns had gone out to get wood, when they got back Ralph snatched my glasses from me to light the fire. " give em back! i can't see!" i shouted to him.
ReplyDeleteJack is cruel. Him and his choir boys are the hunters. My job is to help look after the littluns. No one really listens to me but they should as im the one who sees things the clearest.
Hi Miss. Just had a crack at question 4 which you done in lesson. Didn't understand it alot but still had a go. And also printed off a page in lesson today for the stream of consciousness that hardly anyone done. which im sorry for. And reading to up chapter 7. Is there anything I have missed that need to be done?
ReplyDeleteRyan
if there is anything I missed out, could you please tell me in drama as I wont be able to get onto here till after next lesson??
ReplyDeletegod im well f**cking hungry! but i dnt want to tell anyone as i have completly lost the trust of some!! i cant tell ralph because thats basicaly telling the whole bloody group i dnt really care that they call me piggy or fatty my auntie always said ... " sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" which worries me a lil because theres plenty of sticks and stones to hurt me with here!! i dnt want them to hurt me anymore... still HUNGRY!!
ReplyDeletecharacter study on .. (ralph)
ReplyDeleteat the start of the novel ralph belongs between childhood and adolescence. the writer says:'he was old enough, twelve years and a few months, to have lost the prominent tummy of childhood; and not yet old enough for adolescence to have made him awkward. in some ways ralph exits between two worlds. this is true through out alot of the novel. he is neither one of jacks gang, not one of the littluns. he seems to be an outside. he is also a natural leader. i can see this from the way he uses the conch to call the first meeting.
Ollie and Ryan; all is forgiven- thank you both for making it up to me. 150% effort is back on for you two as well as those 15 from today! You have made my night boys- cos u have proven that you care. Thanks again Mrs J x

Can you guess who it is?
So far, so good. Hopefully if we keep this up will be rescued by the grown ups in no time. Me and Ralph are on fire watch. I trust Ralph even though he betrayed me by calling me Piggy in front of everyone. I dont care what that Jack thinks, im used to being called fatty(not a giveaway of who it is). Just because hes the oldest and strongest doesn't mean he should get all the power, his view of 'kill everything' wont help, but i wonder what a pig burger would taste like?. Ralph would be a better leader, he understands that we need a structure and certain jobs. We need rescue, we need grown-ups, we need a leader. And i dont think Jacks' gonna give in quietly.
Perfect scurvy!!!! Remind me who you are! Luke? Aaaarrrrrr sorry!!! Mrs J x
ReplyDeleteJack is really starting to get on my nerves now, everything i do or say he'll have a go at me for... Im fed up of it, i wish i had the guts to say something to him, but he's scary and he won't just shout back, i hate to think what he'd do... Maybe i should get ralph to say something? Although he's kind of encouraged them to bully me... I shouldn't have to feel like this, like i just have to sit there in silence. I really don't know what to do.
ReplyDeleteI tell you what though, i'm so hungry! I just can't stop thinking about food, i can't say anything though. They'll just start calling me names again. I just want to go home, i don't want to be here anymore.
Sooo sorry it's late.. I didn't think to check we had homework, but i will in the future.
Hope it's okay. x

ReplyDeleteWhy didn't I come up with that? If I'd had 30 more seconds, I would have thought of using them DAMN glasses! Stupid Ralph... Look at him, so frigin' chuffed with himself! He doesn't deserve half the respect and power he recieves! WHY can't ANYONE else see that? AND he's ALWAYS sticking up for Piggy! If it was up to me, Piggy would be on his own... He needs to MAN UP if he thinks he's going to survive here! Look at him, standing there, feeling sorry for himself...pathetic! I should be leader, and I WILL be. Then I will rein my power...
Sorry It's late, but better late than never I guess.
Also, I wrote that, then realised that Ralph didn't come up with using Piggy's glasses for the fire...so apologies for that mistake at the begining.

ReplyDeleteas i emerge from the bushes, a sharp burst of pain shot through my head as my eyes hastened to adjust to the harsh white glare of the blinding sunlight.
once the pain subsided, i was able to look up and noticed the splotches on my glasses, however, while somewhat important,this isn't the main thing that got my attention. instead it was a fair boy that stood a few feet infront of me. i called out to him to wait, but he didn't seem to hear me, so i quicked my pace in an attempt to catch up to him. hopefully he will know where the adults are.

my attempt at the next paragraph.Also I have my own attempt without help on a piece of paper for you when we get back.I did consult jenny to make sure some of it sounded okay.
ReplyDeleteGolding uses pathetic fallacy to reflect the mood of the protagonists in the setting. At the exposition of the novel, the weather "[is] hot" [Pg 18]. This is reflected into the boy's mood as they is calm and peaceful just like the weather and the friendships between the boys begin. They begin to use democracy to have reciprocal agreements with one another. However during the novel tension rises between the protagonists and this is imitated by the weather. They begin to argue and towards the resolution of the novel Simon is killed by Jack threw anger and blood thirst. The weather portrays this aggression and violence with a " blue-white scar jagged above them and the sulphurous explosion [beating] down" [Pg 188].This puts the reader into a voyeuristic position putting themselves beside the boys. It makes them understand how petrified the littluns are and how the tension between the protagonists results in death and violence. The island begins as their friend and lets them cut down it trees and burn them, but further on in the novel it turns on them make them fear the " beast" which is inside them all. The tension between the protagonist and the fear of the "beast" creates the downfall in their "utopia" and the denature of the human mind leading them back to there primal instincts making them savage.
Hope it okay. It took me over an hour to do.
I'll be back on in a few days to see what you think.
Have a great half term and hope you don't watch to much zombie films...LOL!!!
Ryan x
Ryan! They quality of your written work has come on leaps and bounds- and overnight it seems!!! The first 2 thirds is absolutely spot on; to be fair it might be a bit too long! You almost started a new peel point instead of focusing on language. Just after your second quote I would have an explicit Lang focus, the beast stuff could be saved until your next paragraph. I'm very impressed with you writing style Ryan- your focus in lesson and progress is clear! Plus jeans' brain is def worth robbing now and then! As I often do! Very, very well done! Mrs J x
ReplyDeletePlus Ryan, your first quote could be longer and more focused on the still lagoon? That would support your argument better too! Mrs J x
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs
ReplyDeleteive started a PEEL, tell me what you think and what grade but im not sure what to write for the language??? :D
P- Golding renders the fact that the forest in which they have constructed their own civilization, through time turns on them.
E- At the commence of the novel, all of the stranded boys enjoy the wonders of the island, however the identical protagonists decided to decimate the vital organs of the island by destroying the tree's and branches as “the leaves came apart and fluttered down”. This would have vital consequences as the forest would make all the boys insane and make them believe that there is in fact a 'Beast'.
E- Golding uses personification to demonstrate the fact that if the boys had left the island alone, then the forest wouldn't have made them insane. This would make the reader cogitate and contend a relationship between the boys and the forest at the beginning, and slowly corrupting to the end.
Piggy (Mario)
Wow! Impressive!!! Sounds very academic Mario! Go steady with synonyms - only use words you recognise, that's what I do! Love the fact that it does sound very advanced and definitely better than a B grade like you got in the language! To really secure an A grade, consider using two quotes to show the disintegration from opening to close of the novel. For the language point, you could discuss the fact that Goldings use of the word "apart" is reflective of the relationship of Ralph and Jack! Plus, take a look at what you said about the protagonists- you sure they are identical? Love how your peel is clear, straight to the point and maturely structured! A real triumph! Mrs J x
ReplyDeleteHey miss this is a PEEL point modelled from one I think you done on the last lesson b4 half term. Hope you like and can tell me how to improve [:
ReplyDeleteIn the exposition of the novel Golding insights an in-depth visual into the victimised first impressions that Piggy has with the fellow survivors. The boys are unable to resist the fits of laughter received when hearing for the first time the island nickname of their overweight companion “Piggy! [P27]”. The reader is then placed by Golding into a sympathetic state made uneasy by the cruelty of childish bullying that lurks upon the emerging viscous island. Golding then emphasises this embarrassment upon the seemingly inferior child by using emotive language; through the laughter of the boys they isolate Piggy, depriving him from was supposed to be a new found society.
Your academic style is sooo advanced George, well done! Love it! I honestly can't fault your phrasing! what I would say is that you haven't referred too much to the question, remember you are talking about the decent into violence - or u should be- how about making your quote longer? Or comparing two? Think about Piggy's downfall? Your quote was very well embedded; use that skill to answer the question and discuss the importance of relationships... Your structure is amazing and that's the hardest part to teach... And you've got it!!! Just focus on the content and the question. Mrs J x
ReplyDeletePathetic fallacy is used by Golding to help represent the alteration in the boys temperaments throughout the story ‘the lord of the flies’. At the beginning of the novel, the heat is said to be “almost visible”(pg. 10). This is about the time that the boys become delighted to learn that there are no adults on the island. However, toward the completion of the novel, there was “panic in the energy and hysteria in the cheerfulness” (pg. 187) and even the sky seemed “misty” and appeared “as if in sympathy with the great changes among them” (pg. 189). The change in the boy’s behaviour is reflected in the weather as it goes from sunny to miserable indicating that the boy’s ‘utopia’ is not as they had expected it to be. The ‘sympathy’ in the weather expresses how an audience would feel at the denature of the boys society of the savageness of the primal instincts that eventually take control of the boys.
ReplyDeleteWow Liz! This is an extremely well structured argument, and you have really considered the question- well done! Remember it's the reader though and not the audience! You also might want to adjust your phrasing towards the end a little, though 'sympathy' does seem gentle, because you know how horrendous things get, you could discuss the fact that the sympathy will turn to pity and then outrage from the reader. An extremely well embedded quote by the way! You have shown you have engaged with the text! Impressive! Mrs J x
ReplyDeleteHey miss!
ReplyDeletehere is my atempt at paragraph 3...
P- Throughout the novel Golding uses pathetic fallacy to represent the deteriation of the civilisation creathed by the boys.
E- At the exposition of the novel "Ralph danced out into the hot air - sche-aa-ow!" (pg 14). However this happiness and glimpse of good weather is short lived as the boys discover that they are on an uninhabited island and "nobody don't know were here" (pg 17).
E- Golding represents pathetic fallacy within his novel by making the weather appropriate to the goings on within the boys movements. When "A star appeared...and was momentarialy eclipsed by some movement" (chapter 12), this portrays a clear sky and a positive outlook, until it disapears again.
L- The use of language within Goldings novel demonstrates how the change in weather can reflect the way the boys behave.
It needs A LOT of work!
Ive done some reading and attempted the booklet.
Hope u had a fab half term ... c u next lesson. :)
Not that much more work missis! Your ability has come on leaps and bounds!!! Your quotes are very well embedded! Your point and evidence are top notch! I mean it miss no confidence! To make it amazing throughout, think about: adjusting the second quote so it makes sense inside your words, like your first does, for your effect prove you understand it by saying something like- the boys have a euphoric outlook and shine under the island's sun and stars, the darkness that the night enforces, represents the "sickness" (Golding) that is within the boys destroys all hope that used to reside in the boys and the skies of the island. For language, discuss the use of the phrase "momentarily eclipsed" providing the reader with foreshadowing- Golding hints that hope will disappear before the boys eyes: the boys will begin to 'eclipse' each other...
ReplyDeleteThat help, or just confuse you? It all made sense in my head, in my defence! Had great break, good girl for studying- it will be so worth it I promise! Mrs J x

ReplyDeleteGolding uses pathetic fallacy to interpret the human emotions through nature. When Jack and Ralph are arguing about Jack's new tribe, Golding describes how the weather is as brutal as the boys argument; ''All at once the thunder struck. Instead of the dull boom there was a point of impact in the explosion.(page 216)''
As the weather intensifies so does the mood between the boys. The rain begins just as Ralph begins to yell at Jack for turning against him and making the new tribe. The island becomes responsive to the boys actions and emotions towards each other.
By using the word 'explosion', Golding is highlighting the ferocity of the thunder.
Had a go but don't know if it's any good. Amy ..x
Primitive instinct gnaws at the relationship between the parallel protagonists throughout the novel, taking deadly effect as the boys lose moral understanding and humanity. Golding illustrates the tensions and absence of order with pathetic fallacy. Simon’s death occurred during the night, a time without light, without understanding or knowledge. “The dark sky was shattered was shattered by a blue-white scar” before Simon emerged from the trees, and was greeted by murder. The darkness of the night represents the darkness in their hearts, engulfing them. Meanwhile, the crackling of lightning is viscous and sudden, like their actions towards a loyal friend. The murder (or “accident”) of ‘the beast’ occurs during the most fearful weather. The boys were hateful, primitive, sadistic savages. But were they only acting for survival? Golding uses the word “shattered” to describe the effect the lightning bolt had against the sky, because of the shattering effect Simon’s death has upon the boys of the island.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the end of the book, very well written. HOWEVER. I'm rather (very) upset that Simon had to die. D:

Hi, miss! :) Just thought I'd mention...I've only just managed to finish the book. And my PEEL point, I'll have written as soon as I can now (I wanted to finish the book before I did the paragraph).

Amy: I can't fault your content or structure! You really have got it - well done you! The only improvement I can suggest is vocal and terminology, your answer is as good as Becca's (underneath yours) but compare the wording, Becca's is A* quality whereas yours is a high B, if your entire essay was of this standard however, you would most likely achieve an A, this would be secured if you compared a 'happy' weather quote with the more terrifying one tha you focused on- good girl- ps. More confidence please! Mrs J x
ReplyDeleteBecca: Wow!!! You sure I didn't write this?! How can perfection be improved?! Maybe an additional quote? Utopia vs downfall? This would improve on your perfect skills! My ultimate respect! As always ma darlin'! Mrs J x
Jen: no worries missis! I'll look forward to reading it! Mrs J x
Thanks miss :)
ReplyDeleteI'll have a go at one of the past paper questions next time :D .x
Miss! I really don't get how to do this exam question on lord of the flies! I don't know like how many PEEL's to do, I thought I had to do one!
ReplyDeleteI ordered one of them LOTF revision guides but I haven't got it yet! What else can I do to help me?!
Thanks!x
Good girl for letting me know! See me tomorrow lunch in my room and we will go through it properly! You will be fine so stop panicking! Add a quote to that peel I gave you back today and write down three ideas that could help you answer the question. If you're feeling adventurous, write down three quotes that seem to be in line with the question. Eg. A qu about evil needs you to find evil things in the book. Don't keep telling yourself you can't do this, I wont ever be able to help you if you do- chin up and see me tomorrow! Mrs J x
ReplyDeleteCan you please give me feedback on the start of my essay I handed in earlier? When you have time, so after the show's over I presume. Thank you (:
