Symbolism
Three astronauts are going to the moon. The three astronauts are Phil, Bryan, and Mark. While they are one their way to the moon, an engine on their ship malfunctions. Bryan decides he is going to try to fix it. Phil says that is is too dangerous and that it is not protocol. Mark says that they should look at the engine in the camera and see if it is repairable. Both Bryan and Phil agree with Mark. In the camera, they see that it is beyond repair and would be deadly for any of them to go down there. After that, they decide to contact base so someone can rescue them. Once they communicate with the base, a ship is sent up to retrieve them.
In this story, Bryan represents the id, Mark represents the ego, and Phil represents the superego of Individual Psychology.
How To Study for Exams
Studying for exams can be a daunting task. There are simple steps you can take to make it easier. First, you need to be as organized as possible. You need to have all material for a particular class in one place rather than spread out. It may even be helpful to keep everything you need in one place. Having everything in one place can quite literally help you from feeling scattered.
Another simple thing to do is to complete the study guides that your teachers give you. For one they help you study; it also shows you exactly what that teacher is going to be looking for on the exam. Second, this helps tremendously with your organization. It puts all of your study material for that class in one place. It might be helpful for you to do some study guides with a partner. Doing study guides with a partner helps with how fast they take to complete, and it lets you check yourself.

Recently I have finished the entire Harry Potter series. From the Sorcerer's Stone all the way to the Cursed Child. The Harry Potter is by far my favorite I have ever read. Even though I knew the general plot from the movies, the books still surprised me. The level of complexity that these books have just blows me away.
I am on the other hand sad to finish them. Although I now can say that I have all of the Harry Potter books, even though it took me from third grade to ninth grade. I did take breaks, believe me, it did not take me seven years to read seven books. I cannot express enough how good these books are. If anyone has read them please go try them out.

LOTF Critical Scene
I think it is important for us to understand Simon's death. We need to understand this passage because it is the death of a major character. Readers need to notice from page 152 to 154 how Jack calls Simon the beast. "Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his Blood! Do him in!" Readers need to ask why he did this. They also need to consider that him doing this is a part of his game.
This passage is important because it shows how Jack uses the beast and the fear of it to his advantage. He uses the fear by telling the boys that he will keep them safe. The beast is part of Jack's game to achieve power. Jack also uses pig meat to obtain power, he tempts with it, which is how he got Ralph and Piggy to go to the feast. These two things give Jack power, and this is why this passage is so important.

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 point in the book is significant because this is where Ralph and Jack's relationship goes south. Once Jack lets the fire go out whenever there was a ship, Ralph starts to put his trust in Piggy more than Jack. Jack is questioning Ralph's authority. Jack thinks he is above the rules. Ralph is the leader, and he must enforce the rules.
In this passage, we also see that Jack is not worried about long-term survival. He does not care about laws or society. All he wants to do is to hunt and kill. He is only worried about himself. Anyone that opposes him is wrong and must stop.

What is your favorite place on earth?
My favorite place on earth is summer camp. I have been going there since I was seven. The camp I go to is Warner-Tully YMCA Camp in Port Gibson, Mississippi. I always have the time of my life there. The memories, friendships, and lessons I have made or learned, there are some of my best.
At camp, I am a CIT. A CIT is a counselor in training. CIT's have many responsibilities. We mainly help counselors with the campers and assist them to organize or run activities. In a general sense, our job is to make sure that the campers can have as much fun as possible.
