Well our football season ended last Friday when we lost to Catholic High of New Iberia in the first round of the playoffs. It was a sad night, because it was most of the senior's last time playing football for the rest of their life. I was the only freshman that got a considerate amount playing time and I almost didn't want to play, because I didn't want to screw something up and put my team in even more of a hole. I still had to go out and play and I tried my hardest. I know that to be better next year I will have to work my behind off.
I feel terrible for saying this, but I was kind of ready for the season to be over. I am ready to get home at 4:00 and have time to finish homework. I am ready to go to bed at 9:00. I'm ready to get back into my normal weekend routine where I go ride my horse, or go hunting. I am looking forward to not being sore so much. I know I need to enjoy my time playing football, because there is only three seasons left before its all over.

LOTF response 11/6
Response to passage on pg. 53
This passage to me is clear foreshadowing. Jack is saying that when he hunts it feels like he is being hunted. Now we know that it could be the beast hunting you, or even other people on the island. I feel like now we still haven't gotten to the point that it reveals, but I still think we will get there.
This passage is significant, because it might reveal something that happens later on in the book. It shows that strong people can be hunted and can be scared. It also gives us an idea that there may be something else out there, and no one is safe on the island.
Reading prompt
Write about a time when you have been uncomfortable around somebody. It can be something they said or did, and be sure to specify how you reacted.
One time I felt uncomfortable/awkward/weird/ mad was this past Saturday at an LSU game. My cousins go to school in Alabama and they had came in town to watch the LSU vs. Alabama game. I was so ecstatic to see my cousins, because I haven't seen them in a while. Little did I know something was about to happen.
We were sitting in the suites when the Crimson Tide ran out. I was booing them and my cousin was walking in front of me with a plate of food to bring inside the suite. When I was putting my hands down they accidently knocked the plate out of her hand. Then it fell. It fell to the lower ledge in front of us. While the plate hit no one food splashed everywhere. Everyone below us was looking up at us like we had just killed someone. Finally my dad was like "What do you want us to do? It was an accident, there is nothing I can do." That pretty ,much sums it up and I was angry the rest of the night and couldn't stop thinking about it.

Lotf reading response
Currently we are reading Lord of the Flies as a class in English. So far this book has been enjoyable, even though we have only read the first two chapters. I'm ready for this book to pick up, but I know it will come soon. I couldn't imagine being on an uninhabited island with out any adults and only kids my age and younger.
Human Nature post
I don't think you can really describe human nature. Sure, when not in not in stressful conditions some humans are mean, or nice. When humans are put into stressful survival situations things change a bit. During these situations humans are doing whatever they can do to survive, and not asking how their friend is doing. I think we will see more of this in the LOTF as the story goes on. I can promise you during this stressful survival situation we will see some backstabbing, and things that our gut will wrench from just reading.
I have had a lot of experience around people. Most of the time I'm in large social events I typically observe people. One experience that has helped me understand people is having a horse. It's basic things in horse training that a think about when I see a child begging, or doing something he is not supposed to do. If you let a horse eat grass while you are reading him he thinks its ok to do so. So if you kick him when he bends down he knows not to do that anymore, because he will get kicked. You can do the same thing in parenting.
