My reading focus on the Lord of the Flies is social setting. There are some good key points in the story that show that the social setting of the book is going from good to bad. At the beginning of the book all the boys got along accept for Ralph and Jack. They both hate each other. The only thing Jack wants is power over everybody. Ralph is the kind of kid to take charge be a leader and that is exactly what Ralph does.
Over the months Jack is becoming more abscess with power. He is making up his own tribe and sort of dethrones Ralph. Jack has gotten pretty much the entire group of boys to be in his tribe except for Ralph, Piggy, Sam, and Eric. Jack is the kind of leader that most kids would want because they want to have fun and be wild, and on the other hand Ralph is the kind of leader that adults would want because he makes things civil, he cares for others, and sets things straight.

-To Da-duh, in Memoriam

Over the first semester I have read so many novels, and short stories. I have really started to notice that when I am reading I tend to notice all the story elements, like theme, and point of view. Usually when I read, I just read the book not looking for any type of style, and how the narrator tells you the story. The only thing I did was look for important events and figure out who the protagonist and the antagonist are. But I am glad that I can find more elements to help me understand the book that I am reading.
A goal that I will set for next semester will be to finish reading the rest of the short stories in the book. Because I have seen some interesting short stories that I would like to read. But one goal that I wish do is to read at least one Harry potter book.
