     As we are nearing my 16th birthday I am beginning to look at rucks for sale on the market I am looking at 3/4 ton diesel trucks (2500 HD, F-250) and I can not make my mind up at all. One day I want a ford and another day I want a Chevy and then the next day I want a ram. I was looking at trucks from the early 2000s, because of the pre emission engines, but started looking at newer ones, because they are more reliable and are covered under warranty.
     I will need one of these trucks to pull a horse trailer. Currently I am leaning towards GMC and if I were to get one I would put 20x10 duel lethals, Toyo open country m/t tires, Flo~Pro exhaust with an EFI live by Kory Willis tuner, along with a bodyguard front and rear bumper replacement, with bodyguard nerf bars. I would also like to put a S&B cold air intake, and a FASS fuel pump.

Literary analysis process

     The literary analysis has gone o so far. I have my introduction and first body paragraph done so far and still have a long way to go. I like the way my introduction and body paragraph flow.
     So far the thing I've had most trouble with is how to start my body paragraphs. Its just hard for me to find a good smooth way to start them. Once I get them started its easy and free-flowing. I also had trouble with my intro when I first started, but I got some help from the writing center and I think the intro is the strongest part.

Symbolism

     One time Augustus was riding out on his horse in the south Texas sunrise to find some mavericks, or wild cattle. It was a cold morning, and it seemed like the dew his horse kicked up made it colder. Overhead he heard an owl hoot. Augustus, thinking noting of it continued on his way. when Augustus got to the area he last spotted the mavericks he started to pay close attention to his surroundings and again he heard an owl hoot, and on the edge of the brush stood a lone Comanche in traditional battle attire. Augustus was stunned, because he though Comanche's were modern people. All of a sudden the Comanche  started running towards Augustus and his horse. Augustus was just staring at the Comanche man while his horse spooked and took off. Augustus proceeded to roll off the back of him. Again he heard an owl hoot. Augustus, not sure of the Comanche's intentions, began to ran. The Comanche started to run after him. Augustus was too slow and the Comanche was too fast. When the Comanche caught up with Augustus he grabbed him and started to brutally slaughter Augustus. In Augustus' last minutes the only think he could see or hear was that owl hooting.

In this story the owl represents death. I feel like I could have gotten a lot more detailed, but for the sake of time didn't.

How to get a horse readt to ride

     The first step to getting a horse ready to ride is finding a horse to ride. This is the most essential step to this how to. Once you find a horse you want to proceed with brushing him off making sure there are no clumps of dirt or mud on their coat. Make an extra effort to get the area between the two front legs, because this is where the cinch will be going. The next thing you need to do is get all your tack ready like your bridle and your saddle. I typically like to start with saddling the horse then putting the bridle on. When putting the saddle on be sure that its not leaning to any side more than the other and be sure that it isn't too far up on his shoulder blades or too far back. You want to start by tightening the front cinch, making sure it isn't too tight for the horse to be uncomfortable or too loose where the saddle is siding. Proceed with t\doing h same for the back cinch, but you barely want it touching the horses flank. After that's done put on the bridle and you're ready to ride.

Critical LOTF scene

     One paragraph I think is important in LOTF is when Jack says "There's nothing in it of course. Just a feeling. But you can feel as if you're not hunting, but- being hunted, as if something's behind you all the time in the jungle." page 53.
     I think what Jack says is a combination of foreshadowing and irony. The foreshadowing is that Ralph ends up being hunted in the end and Jack is the one doing the hunting not being hunted. Jack could also be referring to something else out there in the jungle. He could be talking about the Lord of the flies, or the Beast.
