Skyrim

Reflect on your most memorable week-end, what happened?


My most memorable week-end was when a beloved video game named Skyrim was released. I remember anxiously waiting with my hands glued to the controller, but my eyes glued to the online store. Waiting for the release, waiting for the unforgettable theme music and the vast virtual nature to be explored. I occasionally glanced at my watch, unfazed by the time, all my problems would seemingly disappear when the game released, or so I thought. Minutes that seemed like hours passed, the game was finally released.

Immersed in my game experience it was vivid, intense, emotional, and packed, but what was happening in reality was the opposite, quiet, lonely, and calm. Every peek of my watch was strange, minutes seemed like seconds. I was conflicted at the thought of how time works with experiences. I have had very memorable week-ends, but this one in particular was the best of many.

LOTF

The world, that understandable and lawful world, was slipping away.  Once there was this and that; and now--and the ship had gone. [... Jack refusing to give Piggy the floor when he has the conch...]
"The rules!" shouted Ralph.  "You're breaking the rules!"
"Who cares?"
Ralph summoned his wits.
"Because the rules are the only thing we've got!"
But Jack was shouting against him.
"Bollocks to the rules!  We're strong--we hunt!  If there's a beast, we'll hunt it down!  We'll close in and beat and beat and beat--!" (91)


This passage shows how out of order the boys way of life has gotten. The boys disregard the rules and there beginning way of life and strain to being beasts. There is only a small remaining group wants to maintain order and follow the rules. The other group has already adapted to the wildlife and do unnecessary things such as kill pigs for the pleasure. This shows that the boys become divided. The symbolic value shows to ways people react to being stranded.

LOTF

      LOTF is about lots of adolescent children stranded on an abandon island. The island is packed with resources, but the island is packed and the children are losing sanity. LOTF is very dark and intense, with many characters exchanging harsh words. The vivid detail in the book is amazing, for the first chapter it was no challenge to draw the illustrations. The book is a little hard to read because the book because I'm unfamiliar with some of the English vocabulary. The characters have developed lots since the beginning of the book.
    
        The book is very realistic in terms of how unorganized the ways of life are for them. Also the meetings are realistic as well because when thinking about a group of kids stranded o an island that's how imagined the meeting scenario. The only part that was unrealistic to me was the fact that coincidentally no adults survived the island plane crash. The book does a great job at capturing interactions of different characters, like Piggy and Ralph during the exposition. Lastly, William Golding also describes the setting nicely.

LOTF Human Nature

Humans are naturally want to fulfill their desires. Humans are naturally selfish and genuinely not good people. Naturally we want things for our own self interest and like to nitpick good things from the bad. If there were no profound teaching humans would steal and murder with the only basis as what makes you feel better. Humans must be taught right from wrong.
   
     Religion teaches us that stealing is wrong, religion tells us not kill or rape. Good manners are taught by parents, these fundamentals do not come to us naturally. The important people in our life guide us, they help control our natural desires to steal, or hurt someone who hurt you. These teachings in life are the reason humans developed in to what we are today, that life is not about what you want it's about what the human race needs and that's why are taught to share.
