They begin to comprehend that an invasion may have happened, and all clues and signs point to that conclusion. They go to Robyn’s late at night, and everything is very dark except for the Showground, which is bright and vivid. They see a truck wheeling out of it, and they get suspicious. They split up into groups and execute different objectives, so they don’t get caught together. They plan to meet again later that night. Lee and Robyn go to Lee’s house, Fi and Homer visit Fi’s house, and Corrie, Ellie and Kevin go near the Showground. While Corrie, Ellie and Kevin are near the Showground, they see soldiers, tents, and a lot of parked cars. When they start to walk back, they are noticed and shot at, but luckily no one got hurt. The soldiers chase the gang through a yard of an abandoned house. Ellie notices a ride-on mower and lights it on fire with gasoline and lures the soldiers to that area. The ride-on mower blows up, and Corrie, Ellie and Kevin are safe (for now?). They go to meet with the rest of the gang, but only two of them are waiting for them… Lee and Robyn aren’t there. They

The police officers claimed that an investigation would take a very long time as technology was banned in the society. Charles parents, however, made sure that an investigation was put in place and put missing posters all throughout District Zombie. On the other hand, Charles did not know where he was and was trembling at the sight of mysterious sounds and gloomy weather. Charles gasped as he realized he had entered District Spider, the most scary and absolutely mortifying district to live in. He did not know where to go and was as hushed as a mouse. Although Charles was very focused on what he wanted to do, a spider had crawled its way to his leg. He felt a sharp sting and immediately fell towards the ground. The last thing he heard before waking up were the blaring sounds of a truck taking him to a place where everyone was wearing blue jackets with something around their neck. He was confused as he did not recognize the place he was in. A young couple, with the names of Teresia and John, had found him lying on the ground and called the ambulance as soon as they saw him unconscious. Teresia and John were full of questions and wanted to know where the boy was from, however

There are many stories about teachers making a difference in student’s lives. Jerrod Staack was my teacher, and yes, he impacted my life. However, he has influenced me on a much more personal level then the stereotypical story. He has become someone I look up to and someone I can have real conversations with. As a result of being family friends, we have shared many memories that I will remember forever. Jerrod Staack has been an influential figure in my life for as long as I can remember and has forever impacted who I am today.
Due to the continuing corruption of their civilization, the boys become more violent and barbaric, similar to Jack at the beginning of the story. His strange pleasure in killing steadily grows until it becomes chaotically out of hand as he begins hunting for the pigs “dog-like, uncomfortably on all fours” (48). He tells himself that that they need the meat, when in reality, food is not as issue on the island. Still, he believes hunting is more important than keeping the fire going. He revolts against Ralph’s ideas of civility. He and the choir boys left the fire unattended to “kill the pig. Cut her throat. Bash her in,” but little did Jack know that this mistake caused them to miss an opportunity of being rescued (75). Soon after, the peak of the chaos occurs. Jack throws a feast that ends in the brutal murder of Simon. Jack and his men rationalize this act by saying the beast disguised himself in an attempt to alleviate their guilt. On other occasions as leader, Jack demands Samneric to join his tribe, like a tyrant, and tortures them as well as anyone who dares crossing him. Toward the end of the book he viciously plans on murdering Ralph and posting his head onto a stick and into the ground. Through each of these instances, Jack symbolizes the violence, savagery, and chaos of the society over time as their tribe falls into an immoral, wild

I believe there are many skills and attributes that are necessary to an outstanding teacher; one’s ability to keep students engaged, the desire to see all students achieve, and knowledge of the content taught are attributes of an outstanding educator.
Choosing a favorite teacher is fairly difficult when one puts into account all the types of teachers they have known, all of them are important. Teachers are the second most important people in our lives, right after our parents. Teachers are persuasive and have the power to build a child up from an immature student to become a responsible adult; or they can completely and utterly crush a students hopes and dreams.
