Lord of The Flies
Lord of the flies by William GoldingThe theme of this book is almost same as to kill a mockingbird, which is about courage, no innocence. There was military school, all of the students were going back home, but airplane got wrong with itself, so they fell down into the ocean, but students arrived at some island. The leader of students were Ralph, he has a great leadership, and a student who is very new, fat, but wants to be a leader as Ralph, another guy is Jack, he was good fellow with Ralph, but one day, he was being evil, so Ralph couldn’t stop him, and Jack took everyone to his territory. In my opinion, the courage is very important for the teenagers, so I think this is such a good book too, for every teenager, even grown-ups.Everyone was afraid of this island, but by the order they were working start to find out what is in this island, food, geography, and house. There were pigs for the animal, and one cave around mountain, and everything was about the fruit, and big trees. They needed fire, if they want to act at the night too. So they used piggy’s glasses. Piggy cannot see if he does not wear his glasses. One day Jack finally leaves Ralph because he does not want to follow him, and he wants to kill pigs, and have some meat. So he left with some people, everyone starts to leave, since Jack killed a lot pigs, and eat meat, but time by time when they killed pigs, they were being more violent, so no one could stop. When just Ralph and piggy were together, Jack stole Ralph’s real knife, and piggy’s glasses for the fire and meat. Before this happen which before Jack left they used shell for the announcement, so piggy brought the shell to the Jack’s place with Ralph, but no one listen because he is fat, and he cannot see anything, when he tried to explain everything, such a bad guy Rugger killed Piggy with big stone, and everyone starts to throw the rocks to Ralph to go away. And they also killed Simon who is only know everything what is going on in this island because one guy said there is beasty in the cave, so Simon went, he has plastic candle, so he could see, and when he tries to tell Jack, everyone thought he is beasty, so he was killed. But Ralph did not die because Sam and Eric whose are twin told Ralph, Jack is going to kill him. So he ran away in the morning, and everyone was going for killing him, but the military guy was there with his army, and he saw Ralph with everyone, so Ralph survived, and go back home.We can see the violence from Jack because time by time he enjoyed killing people. And for Ralph, he still believes Jack, so he is showing innocent with friendship which is very impressive.In my opinion, if we have bad habit, it is really hard to fix as Jack because Ralph explained the fact, but he could not, and getting worse, so if we want to fix something inside of our body, IT REQUIRES A LOT OF EFFORT.About each charactersCrimeRugger: he kills piggyJack: he was nice person, but since he started to kill pig, he could not get out of the violence that he cannot pay backInnocentRalph: he is such a great leader, but he failed by Jack, but he believes that Jack is going to work together and everyone else too. He is doing his best for everyone and himself.Piggy: he tries to be a good leader, but by one reason he is fat he failed by everyone except for Ralph, and he got killed by Rugger.
To Kill a Mocking bird
One of the greatest books; To Kill a MockingbirdThere are a lot of book in this world, but there are a few books that shows a great imagination for the students, or explanations for a person who is writing some opinions, contents, fact, or what they are fascinating about. That is why authors keep making books. I think that To Kill a Mockingbird is such a beautiful and phenomenal book, for now it is same as Harry Potter because it is telling you what was going on around 1930 in sudden United States, especially about the racism.The town where is southern United State is called as Maycomb is such a old town as this book’s author Miss Harper Lee said this because it seems, and is always hot and full of sand, no one is working on something on their own job. In my opinion, the persons who are acting as really important, also good are Jem, Scout, and Atticus who is father of them and ugly persons are whole family of the Ewells. Scout and Jem’s mom died when Scout was two years old, so Calpurina who is black, but really nice act as almost same as their mom. As always happened Atticus go for his work. Jem and Scout were on the tree house. Then Dill came to them, he was staying here only for the vacation, while he is working on school, he is staying around at Mississippi. They were talking for a little while, and then they start talk about Boo Raldey who is same as monster for children because when he was younger than he is now, he put the scissors into his father’s legs. So he was supposed to go to jail because he acted as showing violence to his parents, and mad, however Mr.Radley said my family will not go to the jail, and then he put Boo in the house all day except for the night. By the Jem’s experience Boo is about six fit tall which is very tall, and his hands are bloody because he is eating squirrel and rabbits, also he is going for hunt on midnight. It is fact, but the explanation about Boo is not believable because even Jem said so, Scout’s experience is about he is just same as monster. So I think it is not a fact. After for a while, Scout goes to school, but by the one day she does not want to go to school because of Ms.Caroline she said stop reading to Scout, Scout could read and write a letter. But Atticus promised that if she goes school, he will keep reading the book at the night. Day after tomorrow, Scout beat Cunningham for two times because he lied, so she had to invite him for sorry for the beat up. Cunningham is poor family, but they are very respectful. But Scout did not want to so, Atticus said something to her.” you never really understand a person until you consider things from him points of view until you climb into his skin and walk around it”, Scout does not understand until something happens. Atticus was defending black gentle guy whose name is Tom Robinson, but he got guilty because Bob Ewell said he raped Mayella Ewell, and then white people tried to kill him, even Atticus was in front of them, that time Scout came to Atticus with Jem, and Dill, and then she said something for Mr. Cunningham “Sir, how can you do this, sometimes you want to do something whenever you want , but not now which means that it could take time if you don’t want to, right, I am just asking you” So she understood and made them leave. Jem cries before Scout understood about fact of Boo. Boo was gave chewing gums, some money through the knot-hole that is beside Radley Place, and one day he tried to trick him, but someone was coming with gun, so he had to leave, but pant got scratch and could not get out of the fence, so they just ran. But Jem went back and get the pants back, and then he felt something that is really strange because pants were clean and it was on the fence. After a few days Jem knows Boo is not a monster he is such a nice gentleman because Mr.Radley filled up the knot hole with cements, after Jem wrote a letter to Boo. And Mr.Radley said it is getting sick, so I need to protect is, however Atticus was said “It looks fine why, son?” That is how Jem understood about Boo. Finally, judgement started, Mayella’s and Tom’s speech were similar, but Tom’s was showing more specific happening, but by the one speech I can say he lost, he said “ I felt sorry for her”, that means he is better than white woman. So he got lost, even Atticus explained well. Later, Jem got hurt by Bob because he tried to kill him, but Boo helped him so Bob got killed and Jem was safety included Scout.As a result, we can see the fact that how serious racism was.In my opinion, When Jem was getting back his pants from Boo’s house is showing real courage. Because every child was scared of Boo, they thought he is crazy, but Jem go and got his pants. Well, Tom Robinson is actually innocent, but the racism was so serious that no one could stop it. The example is that when Mr.Gilms asked him a question, he always put boy, so it was injustice for every black.What we could learn in this book, and my opinionsRacism is very stupid for now because there are no reasons to hate black, why should white control black we are same people. Just color and looks different, characteristic or how smart people are same as happens in School.That time white were controlling everything that they wanted to do, and keep pushing down the black (wanted).We should know, and learn what Jem and Scout did in this book, even it is going to be very hard work, but that is the life.About the CharacterEwells family: they are family that live as idiot, and animal, they do not wash well, no education in school. Lie to god because they promised that they are going to say truth, but they did not.All the white people: they could be nice to black, if they consider about what they are living as.Finch’s family (Atticus, Jem and Scot): even they are white they believe that all the people are same as ancient Rome’s government’s system Democracy.
