LOTF Planning Sheet

1a. Find and post a picture of a celebrity, athlete, cartoon character, etc (male OR female) who would best play RALPH.
1b. Answer the following in a complete sentence: Who is this person? Give 5 thoughtful reasons this person would play RALPH well (use descriptions, personality traits, roles, actions, motives, etc)

I chose Kyle from South Park to play as Ralph from LOTF because he is the smartest one in the group, as Ralph was. Also because he has a lone voice to cartman's evil schemes almost like when Ralph and Jack start arguing and Jack later leaves the group. Kyle also put up a fight to Cartman when he missed christmas, as when Ralph was putting up a fight when they were trying to catch him. Kyle always tries to protect the people he cares about like when Ralph went to go look for Jack to get Piggy's glasses back. Kyle also feels sympothy for others like when he gave a bum 5$; just like when Ralph felt bad for Simon when he died.

2a. Find and post a picture of a celebrity, athlete, cartoon character, etc (male OR female) who would best play JACK.
2b. Answer the following in a complete sentence: Who is this person? Give 5 thoughtful reasons this person would play JACK well (use descriptions, personality traits, roles, actions, motives, etc)

3a. Find and posta picture of a celebrity, athlete, cartoon character, etc (male OR female) who would best play PIGGY.
3b. Answer the following in a complete sentence: Who is this person? Give 5 thoughtful reasons this person would play PIGGY well (use descriptions, personality traits, roles, actions, motives, etc)
I chose Butters from South Park to play as Piggy because they are both scared of doing things that may hurt them. Even though Butters doesn't wear glasses like Piggy, they both have the same personalities. One thing is that they both never defend themselves and show some back bone. Their roles are basically the same because they are always the ones who everyone picks on and makes fun of. Both of them need to put up with everyone because they are the ones who are always made fun of and they will barely defend themselves.

4a. Find and post a picture of a celebrity, athlete, cartoon character, etc (male OR female) who would best play SIMON.
4b. Answer the following in a complete sentence: Who is this person? Give 3 thoughtful reasons this person would play SIMON well (use descriptions, personality traits, roles, actions, motives,
etc)



5a. Find and post a picture of a celebrity, athlete, cartoon character, etc (male OR female) who would best play ROGER.
5b. Answer the following in a complete sentence: Who is this person? Give 3 thoughtful reasons this person would play ROGER well (use descriptions, personality traits, roles, actions, motives, etc)




6. Find and post a picture of what you would use as your "beastie" (you can have more than one)
7a. Find and post a picture of a place you would like your movie to take place (this does NOT have to be an island - think of another place your characters can be stuck)


7b. List at least three things you would change about the story (this may be due to setting OR just personal preference)
One of the things I would change about the story is that the beastie would hunt atleast two people from the group. And since it hunted some of the group it will lead them to start fighting back and make traps that when the beast steps on it, it will trap him and the group would kill it. Also I would make the fight with Ralph and Jack more violent than it was because all they did was just push and hold each other. Another thing I would change is that the boys knew how to make better equipment with the stuff they find in the island.

8. TITLE: Would you keep the title Lord of the Flies the same? If not what would you change it to?
No, I would change it to something that goes with a "Survival" kind of thing. It would probably be like "Into Oblivion".

2nd assignment: Views on Abortion

1.What is your stance on abortion? Give three reasons why (this is your own thoughts). Explain clearly and use a lot of detail. - 5 points

My stance on abortion is pro-choice because it's their decision on what they want to do with their bodies and sometimes they want their babies to live a normal life. Some babies can come with some sort of disabilities and it might make their childrens life harder than it has to be. Also some women ain't ready to have a kid or start their own family. Some women get raped and don't want to have the kid of the person who raped them.

2. Copy/paste evidence that supports that supports your views. Make sure you use quotation marks (" ") because these are NOT your words. - 3 points

"Even if we accept that the fetus is a person with a right to live, this doesn't mean that all abortions are wrong.
In some circumstances it may be ethical for a mother to have an abortion to defend herself from the danger to her mental or physical health that continuing with the pregnancy would cause."

3. Explain the quote you chose for number 2 in your own words. You can explain it in the following ways: relate it to something that happened in your life or someone else's, explain why you agree with the statement, explain it to the reader with more detail in case the reader might not understand the quote, or give the reader a hypothetical situation in which the quote plays out. (Whichever why you decide to explain your quote, you should have at least 3 sentences to be thorough) - 6 points

I chose this quote because some women out there abort their child, not because they want to but they have to for their own life. There are some women who gave their lives for giving their babies birth and died. Some women don't want to die so soon or might not be able to support themselves mentally and physically under this situation.
Extra Credit

4.Copy/paste evidence that supports that supports your views. Make sure you use quotation marks (" ") because these are NOT your words.

"I went for my 20-week anomaly scan thinking everything was perfectly fine with the baby. We were told at that particular scan there were a range of abnormalities affecting our baby.
We were then given the option of terminating or continuing the pregnancy. We felt at that point in our lives, with our own personal circumstances, we weren't able to continue with that pregnancy.
It's not an easy decision. Abortion is horrible at eight, 24 or 28 weeks. It's a messy business but unfortunately life doesn't always fit into little pigeon holes. It's not always perfect."

5.Explain the quote you chose for number 2 in your own words. You can explain it in the following ways: relate it to something that happened in your life or someone else's, explain why you agree with the statement, explain it to the reader with more detail in case the reader might not understand the quote, or give the reader a hypothetical situation in which the quote plays out. (Whichever why you decide to explain your quote, you should have at least 3 sentences to be thorough)

The women decided to abort her baby because her child had a disability and didn't want her herself to get into more danger. She also decided for her baby to get aborted and they choose to end the pregnancy. They wanted to start a family but her baby was going to come out with disabilities making her baby's and her own life difficult.

Alot of family members were lost here and alot of people were seriously injured.
