Jack Vs. Adolf Hitler 

In Lord of the Flies, a novel by William Golding. The boys were stuck on a deserted island. Jack is the savage and the one that always got in the way. Jack and Adolf Hitler were both dictators. This is true because they both used violence to keep their power, limited free speech, and blamed others to keep the attention off of themselves.

            One major similarity between Jack and Hitler is that they both use violence and fear to gain and keep power. Golding writes, “From his left hand dangled Piggy's broken glasses.” (3). Jack's ability is to kill and impress the other boys on the island. After Jack uses violence to steal piggy's glasses he leads the other boys to go away. The boys value Jack to use his violence used to secure Piggy's glasses. ''The violence of Hitler and the Nazi era is always in the background, of course but entirely unacknowledged.’’ (2) Hitler used violence and terror to control. Hitler carried out acts of violence. Hitler use of terror, jack also used terror to control.

            Jack and Hitler both limited free speech. Golding writes, ''We don't need the conch…''The conch doesn't work on this side of the island.” (3) Jack never respected the conch. Only Jack wants to hear his voice and no one else’s. He wants to control the boys. On History Learning it states, ''Censorship dominated the lives of the ordinary citizen in Nazi Germany.'' (1) Hitler gained power because people would only hear the Nazi party. Hitler and Jack both limit the voice of their people.

Jack and Hitler blamed others to keep the attention off of themselves. Golding writes, “He isn’t a proper chief…He’s a coward himself.’’ (3). Jack makes Ralph look bad. Jack wants the boys following only him and blaming Ralph for their problems. “History Place” states, “During the rise to power Hitler had repeatedly blamed the Jews for Germany’s defeat in World War I economic hardships.” (2) Hitler blamed the Jews for their country’s problems. It took the attention off of him. Jack and Hitler both blame others, so they can be in charge.

Therefore, Jack from Lord of the Flies, is similar to Adolf Hitler in many ways. They both were savage. They both wanted to control everything.

What Was Your Favorite Memory?

My favorite memory was when I was on summer vacation. My family and I went on a trip. We went to Fresno and Bakersfield to visit family and to stay for a week to get to know the city. It was my first time going to Fresno and I really enjoyed it. I loved being there! When it was the last day, I did not want to leave.

I was about 8 years old and I was taking pictures of everything. It had been a very long time and I hadn’t seen my cousins, so I was taking pictures with them. They were happy and shocked at the same time because my family had not visited in so many years. My cousin Eric was already 21. He had grown up and he had a girlfriend. I meet his girlfriend and her name was Tanya. She was very tall and pretty. My Aunt Vicky and her husband Eliseo looked the same but a little bit different. They were kind of older and they looked happy and healthy. They were very happy they got to see us. They told me that I grew an inch and I thought I was still short. They even told me I looked different. However, in my opinion, I thought I still looked the same. Once everybody got comfortable, time went by so fast that it was already time for dinner! Before I knew it, it was time for us to go to sleep. I said, “I’m excited for tomorrow!”

In the morning, when we all woke up and said our, “Good morning!” We ate breakfast. I was getting ready for the day while my cousins were in the living room watching T.V. My parents, aunt, and her husband were in the kitchen talking. They told us we were going to go to the snow and I was so excited that I ran to go get my things. It was going to be the first time ever seeing snow!

 All of us got ready to go. I was wearing three jackets and three pairs of pants. I felt like a huge snowman wearing clothing after clothing. I saw my cousin walk out of the bathroom wearing a bunch of clothes too and I started to laugh. My mom, cousin, aunt, husband, and I all got in the car to leave. We took a white minivan.

When we got to the snow I was the first one to get out. I ran to my mom to get her camera and I started to take pictures of everything. I felt so happy that I wanted to cry. I wanted to live there in the snow. At the same time I was cold. We all spent out whole day in the snow. When we left, we went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant called Taquierllos. When I got back home, I was so tired I fell asleep right way.

I learned that anytime, anywhere you can have fun and share moments with your loved ones. You can also enjoy your day by having a positive attitude. It was a great memory. I will think about it until next time. Hopefully, I will get to visit Fresno again and visit the snow. 

 

China's change in the world

 

 

Before china back in the 1990's in between I don't know people in china make things that are made in ''China''. while others design things in factories and they work with machines to make clothing and fabric. I think it's interesting that many people in china know how to make many things on their own. while others brainstorm and use scratch paper make new things and to sell new products to other people that visit their cities, or they can deliver things to the United States and get millions of dollars for every item that they deliver and sell. China people also read the news paper to see what's going on in the world and try to figure out if they can be in a competition with other country's and try to win money. People in china find articles in the newspaper to help out their city and the people around them that are struggling in hard situations. While others recycle, and try to help out the nature around them. I think china in the past few years has improved and grew so many people travel from villages to cities and cities to villages. A train in china travels almost around the world and to different cities taking people to travel and have them experience what's it's like in a different city. Some Chinese people cam not just from china they can live in china but be born in Tokyo, Japan , Philippines ,etc. While others don't know that much English only their own language so it might be difficult to speak to other people. I believe some china people would have their phone were it's programed with apps to be able to communicate with them while others might use a dictionary. I also think people in china enjoy their job and are happy how they are living know than they were back than because before they were living in horrible conditions. Chinese people were struggling and living in the streets and suffering because how they were living many didn't have jobs others were sad and depressed and some of them only lived in one house with not many things to support them. China also had people treating other people bad. Manny didn't like the rules. China's has also improved in many new rules and some freedom which were in better conditions and made people live better. China in the past years has collected at least $4,000.China fought hundreds of wars. Approximately $5,000 islands lie off the Chinese cost. one in every five people in the world is Chinese. Fortune cookies are not traditional, they were invented in 1920 at a  factory in San Francisco! In 20e04 Athens games were estimated to cost ground $15 billion. I think I would go and visit china because  I can learn many things and speak their language.

La Llonona-The Weeping Woman

This is a story that people been telling for hundreds of years.Long years ago in a humble little village there lived a fine looking girl named Maria some say she was the most beautiful girl in the world! And because she was so beautiful, Maria thought she was better than anyone else. as Maria grew older, her beauty increased and her pride  in her beauty grew too when she was a young woman, she would not look at the men from her village.they weren't good enough for her! Maria would say "when I marry, "I will marry the most handsome man I  the world."one day into Maria's village rode a man who seemed to be just the one she had been talking about.

he was a dashing young man ranchero, the son of a wealthy rancher from the southern plains.in fact he owned a horse, and it grew.he was handsome! And he could play the guitar and sing beautifully.maria made up her mind-that was the man for her! She knew just the tricks to win his attention.If the ranchero spoke to her when they met on the pathway, she would turn her head away.when he came to her house in the evening to play his guitar, she would not even come close to the window.she refused all his costly gifts.the young man fell for her tricks.he said to himself "that naughty girl". I know I can win her heart.he swear to himself that he will marry her.

 And so everything turned out as Maria planned before long, she and the ranchero became engaged and soon they were married. at first things were fine. They had two children and they seemed to be a happy family together. But after a few years, the ranchero went back to the wild life of prairies.

He would leave town and be gone for months at a time. and when he returned home, it was only to  visit his children. He seemed to care nothing for the beautiful Maria.

He even talked of setting Maria aside and marrying a women of his own wealthy class.as proud as Maria was, of course she became very angry with the ranchero.

 She also began to feel anger toward her children, because he paid attention to them, but just ignored her.one evening,as Maria was strolling with her two children on the shady pathway near the river, the ranchero came by in a carriage.an elegant lady sat on the seat beside him.

 He stopped and spoke to his children, but he did not look at Maria. He whipped the horses on up the street. When she saw that, a terrible rage filled Maria, and it all turned against her children. And although it is sad to tell, that in her anger Maria, seized her two children and threw them into the river! But as they disappeared down the stream, she realized what she had done! She ran down the bank of the river, reaching out her arms to them. But they were long gone.

 The next morning, a traveler brought word to the bank of the river.

 That is where they found Maria, and they laid her to rest were she had fallen. But the first night Maria was in the grave, the villagers heard the sound of a crying down by the river.it was not the wind, it was La Llorona crying. "where are my children? "and  they saw a woman walking up and down the bank of the river, dressed in a long white robe, the way they had dressed Maria for burial.

 On many dark nights they see her walk the river bank crying for her children. And so they called her La Llorona, "The weeping woman." and by that name she is known to this day.

 Children are warned not to go out in the dark, for La Llorona might snatch them and never return them.

How a God Saved the Day

In the late Earth Century, there once was a god. One day, the sky turned red. Black birds flew across the sky. There came mindless monsters who attacked the city and bothered the people. They scared the people with their three eyed head and a light came out of their eyeballs.

 The mindless monsters looked so hideous that they made little kids cry and people scream. Therefore, the people had no choice but to hide from them. They were huge and destroyed people's property. People would get so mad that they would call the police, but they were so huge and powerful that not even the police could stop them. Humans tried to team up and catch those hideous, mindless monsters, but there were so many that they would not listen to the police or stop bothering them. 

 Until one day, this one god came to the city. He brought his followers with him. He came to the city to make the mindless monsters go away. They obeyed the god and they even made a promised that they would not bother the city or the people again. They said that they were sorry. The god said, "If you to return and bother this city with these beautiful people, I must punish you. There shall be consequences.”

 Once the mindless monsters had left the city, the god told the people, "Come my beautiful people, I am your main god for eternity. I shall save this city and protect you from bad things. You can count on me as your ruler in this city. Don't be scared. I will protect you.” The people were excited to hear what he had to say. They thanked him and others begged for him to stay in their lives forever because they did not know what to do without him.   

The god was excited that people believed in his plan. He wanted the people to have hope for better things in life. The god's mood changed the color of the sky. This color meant that the god wanted people to smile and be happy. The god disappeared the only thing he left behind was a drawing on a wall of the city. 

            The city was like a new. It was remodeled and filled with lots of trees and new houses. People could live safely and there were playgrounds for kids. People took pictures of the drawing while others talked about it. New people would come and visit the city and wonder what happened. They wondered what it would have been like if they did not have a god to save them.   

So the drawing stayed there and brought back memories to the people that lived there. New people came each year and they would talk about how the god saved them. So this new city was created and we will always remember the god.
