Fear

Fear shows up a lot during the time of the book. At first, the boys mostly fear the beast, but as the book comes to a close, they start to fear each other. I just want to say, this is one of the best books I have ever read. whenever I come upon an example of fear I make a circle around the page number or put a bookmark there. That is usually how I keep track; and then go back later to put them in the focus tracker.

Fear happens very frequently in Lord of the Flies, and stands out mostly of mention of the beast or at night. The littleuns usually freak out while Piggy, Jack, and Ralph argue, Simon just sits in his little corner, and Roger is planning to kill something silently. Just an inference. Jack says he can kill the beast, but Ralph doubts that and Piggy tries to talk himself out logically of there even being a beast.

Books

I read:
The Princess Bride
Life of Pi
Mark of Athena
Perks of Being a Wallflower
Lord of the Flies
Nation
In Defense of Food

I had a good time reading the books over the semester. All of them I enjoyed to an extent. My favorite books were Life of Pi, Lord of the Flies, The Perks, and Mark of Athena. I know, it's a long list. I just love books. I tend to read fast but sometimes I get distracted so I have to go back and read it again. I just love to read anything really.

I can read 15 books by the end of the semester, I just need recommendations and ideas. I would like to expand and get insight on what other people are reading so we can talk about the books. I would also like a wide variety of genres like historical fiction. I would like to read Les Miserables before I see the movie.
