My focus I am supposed to be tracking is survival. There have been different types of survival I have noticed so far. The main one would be the kinds of foods and types of shelter available on the island. But the boys aren't treating the island correctly, so the fruitful island is becoming scarce of the things need to survive. Also, the signal fire is the boys way to get recognized so they can be rescued. Another would be how Jack keeps trying to kill the pig, which isn't really for food. But, hunting is a way of survival the boys use.
The ways my focus has shifted from the beginning of the book to now aren't very dramatic. First, like I said above, the boys are neglecting the island and are ruining the beauty of the island. Then, there is how Ralph is trying to get rescued and notices how the boys aren't working or really trying to support the island. Ralph wants the boys to work instead of just playing all the time.

Semester Overview
This semester I feel the material hasn't been very confusing. I understand the literacy narratives, traits of good writing, and short stories. The only subject I really am not sure about are literary analyses. I am not sure how to compose one still. Also, I don't really remember In Defense of Food from summer reading.
I need another example of the setting charts because I still don't understand the different levels. I would like it if we went over In Defense of Food again. I think that I am very prepared for the first semester exam.
Reading Times:
12/26: 45 minutes
13/26: 39 minutes
14/26: 33 minutes
15/26: 48 minutes
19/26: 47 minutes
Total: 94 pages and 128 minutes

In Class Plane Crash
Our class's plane crash activity didn't go so well. We had no leadership and just ended up voting if we did or didn't want to be a democracy. I think our one strength was that we weren't really arguing that much, and we didnt break into any huge fights. also, we were able to designate jobs to a few people. I think if we were to be stranded on a island together, we could most likely figure things out.
If we did have the need to figure things out on a deserted island, I know it would take longer than the ten minnutes we had in class. I figure that for more than half the time we would be arguing and coming up with ideas. Personally, I think our class would start eating the first graders if there was no other food source. And our class would end up breaking into smaller groups because we can't stand each other. I believe our class as a whole would not be able to get anything done if we were stranded on an island.
Reading Times:
Monday: 18 minutes (book)
Tuesday: 29 minutes (book)
Thursday: 47 minutes (book)
Friday: 25 minutes (LOTF)
Sunday: 37 minutes (LOTF)
Total: 94 minutes (book) and 62 minutes (LOTF)
