Andx Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Hi guys. Would've been on sooner if I hadn't had as much homework and I hadn't updated my fanfic. Welcome to Phantom Roxas It's a shame you had to come right in the middle of a minor spam-fest but I hope you enjoy your time here. I know talking with you doesn't accomplish much at this point Tempest, as you're not on, but I'm sure things can't be that bad. And while I would try to offer words of comfort, I'm not good at that by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I wonder how he is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andx Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Seriously. Though angry at times, Tempest has never voiced any wishes of suicide before. It does concern me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I know.... it's unlike him, even in PMs he was never like that..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andx Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I don't mean to lessen the concern for the matter but anything else to talk about? I mean we won't be able to do much until Tempest gets back on so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 True... Well, I'm writing (Another) paper on Lord of the Flies/Inherent Evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andx Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 And I assume your teacher has pointed out the *Insert name of the founder of the Christian church who is also taboo conversation here*-figure? Lord of the Flies was a pain to write about last year for me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 NO, I did XD I pointed out Simon's qualities and explained how it is, moreso than my teacher ever thought. Also, you can say Jesus or Christ. Just not too much. It isn't a pain. Actually, I enjoy it. I read a lot of books that involve good/evil/Jesus so this is simple.

Andx Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 True not really a pain mostly just annoying. Heck fact any writing I don't choose to do is just annoying to do. Funny how you had to point it out. My teacher made sure to tell that to us. I'd never thought of it, even though I'm religious I don't go looking for Christ-figures in books I read. Of course after she told us I saw it right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Well, this was my third time reading the book (8th grade in one school, 9th in private where they pointed out Simon, and 11th). My teacher mentioned it, but I spelled out how the fear of the beast/evil died when they killed Simon, how Simon went into the "Wilderness" and had a convo with the beast, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andx Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 So what's the paper about? Oh wait, don't tell me, theme? Symbolic analysis? I'm completely wrong and should stop asking questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 It's on the themes of the book, at least two. Here are the three I chose to do. 1. Evil is inherent. 2. Society restrains evil, and said evil will be unleashed without it. 3.Adults in the world are hypocrites. A study of evil really. (Ted Dekker FTW. I'm studying Black, in effect) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andx Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 So you have to describe each theme in depth and provide textual support I assume?I remember the only big writing thing we did was an in-class essay on what a specific character/object represents. As I recall our teacher drew one paper with the name of one symbol on it out of a hat and the whole class had to write on that symbol. That way we had to know the whole novel not just one thing. Fortunately my class got Ralph, pretty easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Ralph is such a bland character to me.... that would kill me.... I'd rather do Piggy, Roger, or Simon.... Yep, textual and literature support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 We're talking about Lord of the Flies AKA Beelzebub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 IT is. This is not religious, it is about a mainstream book. Beelzebub literally means Lord of the Flies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake the Sage Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 But its also a name for Satan. *shrugs* Oh well . . . I really don't mind either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final Fantasy Revolution Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I've had a good run on this site, but now I think it's time to leave. You have all reached a new level of respect from me and my own heart. I thank you all for the good times and hope to see you again someday.
