Dreams

Your dreams...

The road to success will be a lot of fun and adventurous 

Communicate at every step

Be clear

Your careers in motion and everyone should be able to discover and express themselves

Everyone deserves to be given a chance

But to be great you have to show up

Ideas star here

Go confidently in the direction... Of your dreams

Monologue - Jack

All of you think I'm a savage, but I'm a hunter.
A hunter who keeps us all alive.
But Ralph, he always blames me for everything, even when I try to help.
A few weeks ago I tried to kill a pig for the first time.
" ' I thought I might kill ' " (51) But unfortunately I couldn't, so Ralph blamed me for even trying.
All Ralph has been doing ever since we've gotten here is accuse me.
Accuse me for not helping with shelters, or not hunting efficiently, or not keeping the fire going.
I'm sick of it! " ' [Ralph's] like piggy. He says things like piggy [and]... He's a coward himself ' "(138)
Speaking of Piggy, all you've been doing is sitting around and complaining ever since we've gotten here... You do no work and expect everything to happen by itself.
I don't care about your stupid glasses, or the stupid fire.
I'm the one who does all the work and I get blamed.
Ralph shouldn't be chief, I should.
I should have been chief because I was " ' Chapter chorister and head boy ' " (18).
If I was chief from the beginning, none of this would have happened.
Simon and piggy wouldn't have been dead and we wouldn't be killing each other.
The reason why they are dead is because of you Ralph, you thought you were leading this group, but you're the one who broke it.
Ralph, do you know why everyone left your tribe and joined mine?
It's because I'm a better leader than you and a better hunter.
And everyone... Everyone can agree with that.

About Me

I like to do various activities in my leisure time, from going swimming to playing video games. As a person I try be less materialistic and more relationship oriented because I understand that things you buy won't last forever but certain relationships will last if maintained. My hobbies are simple I love to watch and play hockey because I consider hockey a part of my life. I also enjoy playing video games because I have a lot of fun playing, its always something I look forward to do. My learning goals for English 11 are to get a better understanding of poetry, improve my formal and informal writing, and continue to expand my vocabulary. By improving these 3 skills I will do better in university and have more knowledge as a person.
