Assignment 4 pg.72 Macbeth's morality

Over the course of the book, Macbeth’ morality changes drastically. In the beginning he fears to kill Duncan, as his moral hinders him. After his wife motivates and supports him to kill the king, he lost his moral. He hires thugs and villains to do the dirty work for him; they kill Banquo and his son Fleance. This shows that he doesn’t care about what he feels like afterwords, he just wants to eliminate the risks Banquo and Fleance out of his life. In the beginning, before he killed Duncan, he wouldn’t have arranged Banquo and his son to be killed.

Act 1 Scene 2 LETTER

19.05.1862

Dear Brother Daniel,

The past days have been very rough, and I would lie if I’d say I’m feeling good. I am wounded all over, and the Norwegians have acted upon us with huge forces, but we have Macbeth; the bravest and strongest soldier. He defeated the Norwegian troop leader, MacDonald. I tell you, this is a story that should be published, as it was unforgettable. He got up against the egoistic and arrogant Macdonald, and sliced him up. He tore his sword up his body, and ended at his chin, where all of his inner body parts were already showing. His sward was covered with blood, and smoked from MacDonalds inner body parts heat. He carved his way through the body. The Norwegians reacted; they sent the double amount of groups as support to beat our country. But guess what, they don’t have a chance; we have Macbeth, Banquo, and many other brave fighters who will make our country proud. Now, to me; I feel horrible and need help. I have been sliced up, approximately as bad as MacDonald, but have survived. I am lying here with my body parts feeling air. I am wrapped in cloth, to protect my bleeding; but I will survive. I hope to see you soon back home.

In love,

Your Captain

What is important when you adapt a book?

It is very important to make as little changes as possible when filming a book. This is very hard, as the time of a movie is limited, every second costs money, and scenes might not be as interesting when absolutely everything is kept original. But no matter what, it is important to keep the basic ideas and essential parts of the book as a identical as possible in the created movie. In addition, the movie should be interesting and entertain.

Chapter 11 - Integrating Quotations

Piggy's last day on the island was absolutely horrible, and wouldn't even have needed his death; it could have been called the worst day in the life of him, without it being the last. His glasses were broken and stolen; when he went back to Jack, in companionship of Ralph, to retrieve his glasses, he got killed. Roger threw down a rock, in order to kill Piggy. Piggy said, "let me speak" which clearly proves, that he didn’t have the chance to do anything on his last day. It was absolutely devastating; his glasses getting broken, and stolen, and when he wants to retrieve them, he gets killed. In addition, he couldn't even speak his mind, which guarantees it being the worst day in the life of a person, especially Ralph's.

Camouflage Paint analysis

What is the significance of the camouflage paint that Jack puts on? How does it affect his personality? Why will it make him a better hunter? In what ways does it hide his personality? In what ways does it reveal his personality? Discuss its symbolic meaning as well as the others’ reactions to it.

The camouflage paint that Jack puts on, tries to show that he wants to be see through. Its shows that he wants to be strong and isn't a very socializing person; in addition he wants to be dangerous and scary. It will make him a better hunter, because his opponents, the animals, wont see him. It hides his personality, because it doesn’t show how greedy for power he actually is; and how insecure he is about himself. The others are scared of this new idea.

Passage analysis Chapter 4

Simon put out his hand, timidly, to touch Ralph; but Ralph started to run, splashing through the shallow end of the bathing-pool, across the hot, white sand and under the palms. A moment later, he was battling with the complex undergrowth that was already engulfing the scar. Simon ran after him, then Maurice.

Drew, reached out to touch Eamon, softly; Eamon was frightened and started running to mr. Mc Leod. On the way there, he got stuck on a pin that was sticking out of the wall; and had a deep hole in his freshly shaved leg. Drew kept running after him, and Ika followed.

Island needs

Marlow's List:

Physiological needs. Biological necessities such as food, water, and oxygen. These needs are the strongest because a person would die if they were not met.

Safety needs. People feel unsafe during emergencies, or times of disorder like rioting. Children more commonly do not have this need met when they feel afraid.

Love and belonging needs. The need to escape loneliness and alienation, to give and receive love, and a sense of belonging.

Esteem needs. The need to feel valuable. to have self-respect and the respect of others. If a person does not fulfil their esteem needs, they feel inferior, weak, helpless, and worthless.

Self-actualization needs. Maslow taught that a very small group of people reach a level called self-actualization, where all of their needs are met. Maslow described self-actualization as a person’s finding their “calling.” He said, “a musician must make music, an artist must paint, and a poet must write.”

Relation to the book (chapter one and two):

The characters in Lord of the Flies have taken care of their needs to a pretty big extent. They have organized a place to get food from (center of the island), as well as water, and oxygen is provided anyways. Most of them also feel loved as well as having met their belonging needs, as they are all part of a group and most people like each other. In addition, their esteem needs are covered as nearly everyone in a group is very valuable to the others surviving and having a satisfactory life. The two things they haven't quite been achieved are the safety needs, like on most islands around the world this isn’t very easy; it is very complicated to supply islands with its needs because everything needs to be transported over water via ship or plane. In addition, the self-actualization needs aren't completely met, as not everyone does what they actually should or wants to do. Overall though, the group of children have done the best they can to achieve needs.

Letter from Roger to best friend after chapter two:

Letter from Roger to best friend after chapter two:

Dear Paul,

I know this really sounds strange, and believe it or not, our plane was shot down and now we are stranded on this island in the middle of nowhere. I am on this island with a bunch of children younger than me, who are completely annoying, and especially one person, Piggy. He is intelligent, but I really can’t stand him, his way of acting everything, it really provokes me. I don’t know how to survive the time here; it’s really annoying, I want to get off here as quickly as possible, and go partying again with you. I hope I’ll see you very soon. Enjoy the time without me.
