Chapter 5: Best from the water
Perspective: Simon
I hope this meeting will be a good one because of jack's lack of listening to ralph and the littluns scared so much of the beastie. I just hope everything will turn out right i hope. As i walked into the meeting that ralph called i realized that jack and his hunters were discursive as they walked into the the meeting. As ralph discussed the manners that the groups been having it sounded to me very ludicrous of jack and his hunters to not even listen and pretend like it was like there wasnt even a meeting. After the meeting went on jack and his hunters left in a mad mood like they hated every bit of it. They danced and chanted while walked off for only one goal of theres, to kill the beastie. I couldnt believe this group of people have gone for good to horrible listeners. i cant believe they think they can just do whatever they want, well i didnt say that outloud just thought it.
The next day i walked over to ralph with piggy. As i got over there ralph was pasing thinking in deep thought. We asked what was wrong and suddenly ralph looked up at us in anger. He starts off with a strong discussion about the rules that he has and how he doesnt know what to do because noone is following them. He then mentioned in a way that he wanted to quit being the leader of the boys, all of a sudden i stood in shock about to scream. I told him in the best way possible that i wanted him to stay. He stood there for a minute and sayed that he would think about it. I still didnt feel great about what he said and just went throughtout the day in lost of hope and courage that i used to feel. Couldn't believe the boys made it come to this already and we havent even been here that long. I slept that night harder than i've slept since the day we got on this island. The moment i finally fell asleep i heard a strange screaming like lamentation fade in the distance of the island but never took the time to get up and se what it was and just went right back to sleep. I dreamed of the boys being very tempestuosly. As i knew that the incantation of ralph's voice not working i knew this island was going to come down hill sooner or later.

Journal #4: Painted faces and long hair
Chapter 4 "Painted Faces and Long Hair"
Journal #4 ( justin )
Perspective: Jack
Things continue to change as did amongst the boys, especially between the two personalities of ralph and I. The littluns nightmares continue to worsen. One day, three littluns, Percival, Johnny and Henry are building sand castles and digging. Nearby in the trees, Roger and Maurice linger, watching them. Roger and Maurice, just relieved from tending to the fire, emerge and kick aside the smaller boys castles, laughing with pleasure. I felt bad for them in a way but something told me to stay with it and to not be the hero here.
Maurice wanders away while Roger remains to observe Percival crying. The crying only gets worse when Johnny also, following the older boys destructive behavior, scatters sand into the air, and Percival leaves, crying, as does Henry. Johnny is left with the castles all to himself after scaring them off. Roger then follows Henry to the beach and proceeds to toss stones at him although there was a space round Henry into which he dare not throw. Despite the lack of an adult authority, the old ways into which he had been brought up still stayed with him, and with myself also i feel like roger is my second in command.
I end up to everyone suddenly, having smeared clay on my face like war paint or a tribal mask and, proceeds to take them all on a pig hunt. With the addition of the mask, I transform from within as well, already completing the move towards my urge that i cant help myself.

Listen Up
Chapter 3: Huts on the beach
Perspective: Ralph
Simon, usually a silent objective observer to these discussions, says that the littluns are all afraid as if "the beastie or snake-thing was real." He then disappears suddenly before Jack and I go off to the water hole to bathe, assuming that Simon has gone there as well. But he has not. Simon walks off mysteriously, alone. Around him is a certain glow where he walks, he gives himself without greed or desire for power, unlike both me and Jack. "Then, amid the roar of bees in the afternoon sunlight, Simon found for the fruit they could not reach passed them back down to the endless, outstretched hands."
I felt as if i was the only one from the group of everyone because of my leadership. I feel like jack was to envolve with the pig, the kids dont pay attention, and piggy wont help with the shelters like everyone else. I cant believe this day, the day of the kids fooling around, jacks persuasion in getting meat, and the lack of listening in the group of boys who crashed on the plane.
While cutting some wood for the shelters i thought about the other groups of kids who wouldn't help me. At that exact moment i thought about my partner helping me i looked around but didn't find simon anywhere. I didn't know where he was but knew he was doing something good. I hope simon will be back from his journey or adventure soon. I looked around after many hours of choping down trees and realized he was not back yet.

Wondering moments
Chapter 2: Fire on The Mountain
Perspective: Piggy
Jack volunteers his hunters as being in charge of tending the fire and keeping a lookout for ships. I cut into the discussion with an odd laughter looking down, the signal fire has spread to a large section of the island, burning down everything in its path.''You got your fire all right.''
Shelters, not fire, are the most important things to create first. I got very mad at them for taking my glasses and starting a fire without clearing the area before they started. Lastly, i note missing from the group, as parts of the island below them burns, the boy with the birthmark who worried about the "beastie." I never saw that boy with the birthmark again as if he fanished into thin air after he left my sight.

The background boy
Chapter 1: The Sound of the Shell
Perspective: Simon #3
Simon was scared because in the book when the choir came to Ralph and piggy from the conch, they say Simon was faint and passes out. Simon knew then that he had to be scared that he was on the island and Simon was so shocked when it happened that he just passed out.
When he woke up he figured he would be back at it and a big part of the group but as the chapter went on Simon wanted to just be a follower and was staying a step behind everyone else and not taking a lead like Ralph and jack tryed to do. Simon worked for the good not the bad and helped everyone.
I think Simon speaks when he really wants something like food but i also know Simon will try to jump in when there's a time to either explore or help the group. Simon grew very shy to everyone and was a person who was kind and nice to everyone while everyone else was panicking.

Because of Romek, Final Post
1)The most disturbing part of the book was in camp belsen. When got there his job was to drag dead bodies into the furnace. There was lice crawling on the dead bodies and if he drag the bodies then he can get soup but the soup that he got smelled like burning flesh and was made from dead bodies. He saw a doctor's stomach swell up from Typhus.
2)David got the job of feeding the dogs, they were all tied up and violent and he was scared of them. So he found a broom to push the food into their stalls and as he fed them he would grab food from their dish and eat it. The food was some beef, sugar beets, and chunks of meat. It got him strong so he was able to put some weight on and have some strength while the other guys had to go out and dig while he didn't.
3)David got very sick from Typhus and had a bad fever. In this camp is where he saw people eating dead bodies to stay alive. A doctor that he made friends with told him to survive to go out and eat the grass and that would give him a little moisture for water. The doctor told him to burn some wood and if he would eat the ashes it would stop the bleeding from his rectum.
4)A prisoner burst through the door and said '' were free the Americans are here '' and sobbing David said '' i did it mama, i survived ''. He had to find the strength to get on his knees to let them know that he was still alive.
5)David Faber's book, Because of Romek, should be required reading in all middle schools, high schools, and universities because all students need to learn about the horrors of the Holocaust. It's very important for all human beings to understand the horrors of war. We must understand that anyone of us is vulnerable to cruelty of human beings do to fear and survival. I think that leadership is very important to our world. If you take a leader that is willing to risk everything and try to rule the world then this world will just fall apart piece by piece. I think that people need to know what went on in those times and if they don't then giving a book to students would be a great idea.

Project Reflection:
Name: ________Justin Baker____________________
Project Reflection: Post on your Blog
Project Title: renaissance ball Class: humanites
*You may type directly in this document and copy and paste into blog, or simply address each of the following in a post. It should be approx. 2 pages worth of writing.
PURPOSE: In this section, explain what you were supposed to learn and what you were supposed to do.
The purpose of this project was to learn about your guy, for example I had Sir Francis drake and I had t learn about the history of him and how he was significant to the world. IN order to learn about Sir Francis drake, we had to write a biography on him about his life and what he did that showed accomplishment. In order to learn about the Renaissance we had to research a person, and do a 3-5 page biography on them. We also had to learn how to dance like the Renaissance people did.
WHAT I LEARNED
In this section, tell what information or skills you learned or improved.
In this project i learned about the renaissance. I learned about the clothes that renaissance wear such as puffy and thick clothing with long socks for the boys. The girls usually wore clothing like long dresses with the clothing high on their shoulders. I also learned about the renaissance age and how the renaissance was the age of great people who made our world greater. I learned from my explorer that he was second in command in the English fleet and was a simple pirate to the Spaniards.
REFLECTION
In this section, reflect on your experience. Did you like the project? Why or why not? How did you do? What would you do differently next time?
I enjoyed this project because it was a fun experience to in doing a ball. I feel like I could have done better on this project because I would have liked to memorize more than I did and make sure that I knew it because I could have to do another project on sir Francis drake and I hope that I could memorize everything that I learned from this project. Next time, I would do more source work and get more info in my biography because I sort of lagged on those subjects and hope I can do those better.
ARTIFACTS
You should have at least one artifact from each project on your DP. What document, picture, or link will you have for this project?
I used a lot of textbooks, and books from the library to find information on sir Francis drake and I also found many websites that helped me get some of the early life information I needed.
