My goal for next semester is mainly to keep up my reading habits, but this time remember to put them up on my blog.

My obscure(for now) reading focus
Okay guys, my reading focus is one of the most obscure and unmentioned characters in the book (or at least at the moment, but no spoilers), Roger. I have noticed that he seems to be the sidekick or helper of whomever is winning an argument (I'm referring to the Jack vs. Ralph arguments) However, in recent chapters, he has turned more to Jack's side permanently. Later in the book however... he becomes far more noticeable and a bit scary... but once again no spoilers.
Semester reflection
We've accomplished alot as a class, particularly in the field of grammar and reading skills. We have mainly studied the traits to look for in good writing through our annotations, and also covered common errors like comma splices. However, most of this I know already.
It is the material involving writing techniques that are a bit harder. I say this because we have covered several different types of writing. For each different type of writing I use, I have to change the style of writing that I have grown accustomed to.

In-Class Chaos
Sorry it's late again, but my blogs seem to continue to post as drafts. Thank goodness i caught this one earlier.
The activity that we did in English with island survival was... interesting, to say the least. It started off with some people logically deciding what to do, and who held the highest authority *cough cough me*. Some were intent on trying to find things, like shelter or food. And some simply weren't doing anything at all, either keeping their thoughts to themselves or not caring
Then it began to get chaotic. Everyone was fighting over who did what, and people were indecisive or unhelpful. Then out of nowhere, fantasy football. The national sport of our island, because we certainly would have access to computers, right? It all ended in confusion and chaos.
