How-To
One of the things that my family makes for Thanksgiving is cornbread dressing. I am the best cook in my family because my mom burns everything and my dad just doesn't want to cook. I learned from my aunt and she has taught me a lot about cooking and what is important when doing so. I always make the cornbread for the dressing and I chop the vegetables to add into the dish.
When making cornbread I add the sugar, salt, and all of the other ingredients into a bowl and then mix them together. I enjoy the process of baking this because cooking brings me peace and time to myself. After it is finished baking I let it cool for a few minutes while I cut the vegetables. Then I combine all of the ingredients and there is the dish.

I enjoy Thanksgiving because it gives me a time to not only reconnect with family members I haven't seen in a while, but it gives me a chance to reconnect with myself. Thanksgiving is a time to appreciate everything in life. It is a time for happiness and love. (The food is just a bonus) I enjoy seeing everyone for Thanksgiving day but after that I just want to be alone. I seem like the outgoing type of person but really I don't like being that. I would much rather spend time alone than be in a group of people.
Thanksgiving makes me remember that I can be alone but I still have my family and friends by my side when I need them. It's nice to realize that people have your back when you really need them. I appreciate everyone in my family for being there for me and for putting up with me for these years I have been with them. Thanksgiving is a time to reconnect, be happy, and love not only others but also love yourself.

LOTF Passage
I think when Simon talks to the Lord of the Flies is not only important but also scary. The other boys already think that he is "batty" and that he is different than everyone else because he is a little weird. Some of them even believe that he is possessed by the beast. This is the only time that the Lord of the Flies speaks throughout the book. He tells his perspective of the island a little differently than the boys see it. His words sound very similar to the devil and Simon freaks out, which is totally understandable. In this scene we find out where the title comes from and what it means. The cover of the book is also very similar to the way Beelzebub is drawn.
When I read this I was very creeped out. The fact that Simon is imagining this shows how much this island has fallen apart and how much these kids have given up. I felt scared for Simon because if I was imagining something this scary I would've reacted in the same sort of way. I don't know if I would have listened to the Lord of the Flies though because that ended up not turning out too well for Simon.

LOTF Response
The world, that understandable and lawful world, was slipping away. Once there was this and that; and now--and the ship had gone. [... Jack refusing to give Piggy the floor when he has the conch...]
"The rules!" shouted Ralph. "You're breaking the rules!"
"Who cares?"
Ralph summoned his wits.
"Because the rules are the only thing we've got!"
But Jack was shouting against him.
"Bollocks to the rules! We're strong--we hunt! If there's a beast, we'll hunt it down! We'll close in and beat and beat and beat--!" (91)
This passage from the book is significant because it is telling us as readers that the characters believe that the world is changing. To me it also shows that the groups aren't getting along as well as they used to. The characters are realizing that they want to be in charge of everything and that is causing chaos between everyone. It shows that events that happen with just two people can affect everyone around them in many different ways. All the order that this island once had is changing and may even be slipping away.

Prompt: When you think of the word childhood what is the first thing that comes to mind and how does it compare to the world today?
When I thought about childhood the first thing that popped into my head was laughter. Back then everything was usually based off my happiness. I rarely thought about about being sad or being hurt or being in pain. I never thought about anything other than the present. Live in the moment right... But when I was a kid I never used to realize how lucky I was to be able to laugh and live life to the fullest because so many people aren't happy enough to do that. I never thought about struggles that people had in their life because I didn't realize that some of the people I saw every day weren't as happy as they seemed to be.
Now when I think of laughter I think of all the people who don't laugh because they are unhappy. Now I understand how those people feel because a lot of days I don't feel like smiling or laughing, but the world needs me to be so I fake it. I now realize how hard it must be to see other people laughing when you are having to pretend to be laughing. Don't get me wrong, I do laugh and sometimes I mean it, but many times faking it is it best choice. If you show that you are unhappy it affects everyone around you. So one of my mottos in life is to fake it 'till you make it.
