Alex Rider: Skeleton Key Blog #2

Alex is currently working undercover for MI6 as a ball boy at Wimbledon. He sees a very suspicious looking security guard who is always acting like he is talking on his fake phone and starts following him every.
So far this book has been very interesting and keeps me wanting to read more. The author engages my attention because there are a lot of interesting and exciting scenes where Alex is caught or has been questioned. The book is structured in chronological order and it has been about six weeks since Alex has been recruited for this new mission.

LOTF Reading Response Pg. 91

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 paragraph shows that the boys were forgetting the ways of the old civilization they once knew before life on the island. The ideas of orders,  organization, and rules were slowly neglected. This fault in their society caused the boys to split up into two different tribes and also caused the death of Piggy and Simon. This paragraph also shows that Jack has no respect for rules of a civilized so

Free Post: Snow Days

After the first week back from winter break I was so excited that we had a three day weekend and that I got to sleep in an extra day. I never would have thought that it would turn out to be a 5 and maybe possible 6 day weekend. I did not know it was even going to possibly snow until late Monday afternoon.  I was hoping that school would be closed Tuesday, but then Mrs. Spencer sent an email saying we are going to have school and I was really bummed out. Then around 5:40 the next morning my dad came into my room and told me that school was cancelled. Although I was very tired and did not show much emotion I was so happy and relieved inside. At first I was confused about why there was no school because only until around 7:00 did it start to snow. Around 1:00 on Tuesday they announced that school would be closed down on Wednesday as well.

My weekend was very fun! It started off on Friday night at the varsity basketball game. We played Newman in the quarterfinals, and won! After the game the players and coaches cut down the net and then we gave Coach Beckman a water bath with the water cooler to celebrate the victory. This will be the second consecutive year we will be going to the semi-finals. Then I had to wake up early to do my first driving appointment in order to get my driver's permit. It was really fun driving around Baton Rouge for two hours and not getting a wreck. Later that day I got ready for the SJA sweetheart dance. We went to someone's house to take pictures before the dance. Then we went and ate at Gino's, and the food was very good. Then we went to the dance. The dance was really fun and the best part was getting to see all my friends from St. George and some other schools. Then we went and hung out at my friends house after the dance. Then me and my friend went back to his house and stayed
