Which Lord of the Flies character are you?

If I were to try to compare myself to any of the characters in this book it would be on Piggy. I believe my personality closely resembles Piggy's because I tend to take "thought out" actions in response to several situations. Although one very distinct way I am different from Piggy in this aspect is that I often take a very "care free" approach towards life. In the book it is seen that Piggy symbolizes the scientific aspect of our society and he often pushes for efficient and necessary actions to help improve the boys chances of survival, such as building a shelter. I too would have done a similar action versus getting caught up in making fire.
Another way I could possibly resemble Piggy is our approach to confronting problems. Throughout the book Piggy is often called names and teased but he endured the bullying and decided not to resent them because he knew that their survival on the island also depended on his intellect. I would also confront many problems like this, the "forgive and forget" method which we have discussed at some point in class before. I would make it my goal to try and not "dislike" people who had acted rudely to me and forgive then forget. I find this method particularly suitable to me because my personality is not very aggressive. (Btw it's 11:26pm right now WOOT WOOT >:D    )

Ugh Friday blog

Fridays are usually good days, they really are. It symbolized good sleep and at most times, much needed breaks from a stressful week of school. On the other hand, you have Fridays during the last week of school break. Stressful, that's what these days usually are. Returning to school is never the root of the problem, but their homework is. I for one neglected to do any form of homework besides light studying and in consequence, I had to stay up past one AM, feel stressed, do homework, work on writing weekday blogs on weekend nights, and worst of all was to refrain from watching another episode of a Korean drama BECAUSE THOSE TAKE UP A WHOLE HOUR FOR ONE EPISODE. So here I am on my homework chair, writing a blog, writing some essays, reading a nonfiction book, creating a project about a nonfiction book, not watching Korean drama D:, and the moral of this story? Don't procrastinate as much as my younger brother did, because even though starting at Friday will make you vent your stress through a blog that you had to do for homework, starting your homework on Sunday will make you cry like this (TT.TT). What did I do this Friday? I bled for you Ms.K pls giv meh an A pls D: I NEED MY A!! OTHERWISE I WON'T GET RICE FROM MY IMAGINARY STEREOTYPICAL ASIAN PARENTS(mines really aren't like that lol)(yess I'm done). Time to find a nonfiction book to do a report on...

Thursday blog

This Thursday? My highlight was when I went to the orthodontist. Even though I went there numerous times, for homework's sake I'll recount my first time...I have always felt scared of places where medical surgeries could take place. Needless, blood, sharp pointy things, and the ominous smell of a perfectly clean room that all dentist related buildings gave off had the uncanny ability to make me nervous. My mom and I was at the orthodontist office. For weeks my mom was always pestering me about how my teeth was all messed up, she didn't liked it. Yet in vain, for weeks I have tried to convince her it was unnecessary, I was okay with how I looked I would tell her. It's too expensive and not with it I would plead.  Honestly, looking back after 3 years I was only scared of change(especially ones that hurt lol) and in the end braces seriously helped with how I brushed my teeth and how I ate food. In example my "before" teeth looked like ®¥°5:=#=))_#/)(!&46:/=$225=/ whereas now, they are more like 12345. From this experience(I am still experiencing, I still have braces after 3 years -_-) I learned to be more accepting and rather eager for "change" and new things such as food, activities, people, movies, music, and sights.

Wednesday Blog

Wednesday consisted of a certain new experience for me. After work for that day we then went home to plant flowers. Having never worked with planting vegetation before it was a refreshing activity. My parents began it by showing me and my siblings the proper hole depth for the plant to be placed in. Besides the fact that being the oldest child meant i would have to dig for the other 3 children. Although at first these plants looked rather unpleasant i was told that they would become pretty within a year so not much left to do but wait. Overall, i felt excited about doing this type of activity and afterward i was pleased with the results and felt refreshed from having worked outdoors and out of my comfort zone.

Tuesdays -.-

My Tuesday was so NORMAL that summing it up nearly put me to sleep. Yet through great willpower and incredible stamina, I will somehow write this blog. My Tuesday began like any other Saturday and Sunday by sleeping in until 9AM where then i would have get up and ready myself to go to the mall. Then at this mall I would work... and I also...worked. Then after my hours of work I went home, ate dinner and slept. Should there be ANY highlight for that waste of day it would be that I found the time to watch some Korean dramas and read Rick Riordan's book, The House of Hades. Besides feeling bored for a better part of the day, doing the things i liked to do entertained me. On a side note i really dislike how typing for a blog does not automatically change the "i" to a capital "I" and during the process of writing this blog i had to go back numerous times to correct that mistake until i simply gave up. Happy Tuesday everyone yippee! -.-

Monday blog

The highlight of my Monday was that I got to go underneath my house where all the pipes and cables were. It all began at eight in the morning and my dad felt the burning need to have all the rooms in our house attached to the new antennae we acquired. So after my father got changed into working clothes we opened the panel in my brother's closet that exposed the area beneath the house. On a side note my brother was really freaked out there was a hole in his room (haha). The cavern the hole led straight down into was only as high knee. After a quick examination my dad stated that it should my job to go in that dark hole and get the cables connected (because his back hurts). I felt thrilled and excited to be able to go somewhere new even though it was underneath my house the whole time. Not to mention the fact that I had to crawl my way through sharp rocks and cobwebs with only a flashlight's beam to guide me. It was an exhilarating experience and from it I believe I understand the foundations and pipe systems in my house a great deal better. Throughout the way my siblings guided me from above the house's floor by yelling directions or stomping their feet at the area where he cable should be. I emerged from that hole ten minutes later covered in dust, webs, and a thirst for claustrophobia inducing adventures.

Hand Gestures

The hand gestures used during acting is there to display emotion that the character is feeling to the audience  These gestures are a necessity to the audiences because in most cases of play acting there can be phrases with double meanings that can not be deciphered with just the sense of hearing alone. Yet these movements of the hands do not just benefit the audience, it also works in the favor of the actor as well. To put it simply, the gestures help the actor "become" the character physically and mentally to provide an overall more entertaining show.
