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.
Good post. I agree with your statement. The same survival techniques have been used throughout the story. Maybe instead of looking at the techniques, you should look at the purpose. For example, originally, killing the pig was for survival, but then over time, the purpose of it became something completely different.
ReplyDeleteYeah i agree with AC. Jack started out working as hard as Ralph to survive. But as he starts to hunt he goes kind of insane and becomes obsessed with killing the pig almost just so he can say he did. Goo post!
ReplyDeleteGood Post! (not goo, that would be strange...)
