Explain how the author creates suspense in this book?
The author creates suspense in this book by making Ergent Seth use his powers and turn himself into a girl to trick Daniel. The girl Ergent Seth turns into is Phoebe. And then Daniel falls for it but doesn't know and him and Ergent Seth dated. Then Daniel went to Phoebe's house because Ergent Seth knew who Daniel was and Knew where his home base was. And Ergent Seth turned Daniels place into a cemetery with Daniels name on a head stone. Since Daniel went to Phoebe's house they played chess and went to sleep. Then when Daniel woke up Phoebe was gone so he looked all over the place for her the he finds her past the soccer field and he comes to hold her then she turns back into ERGENT SETH.

What advice would you give to a character in the book? Why?
I would give some advice to Daniel to not fall for girls so easily. He went for Phoebe to fast. Since he fell for her to fast she turned out to be Egrent Seth. He didn't take his time because if he would have he would have known that was Seth and not just a regular girl. Thats why I think Daniel needs some advice.

What does this book make you wonder about?
This book makes me wonder if there actually is aliens in the world. Also if there are alien outlaw's and alien hunters. I know that scientist are trying to find out if there is or was aliens on mars. Since there trying to see if there was any water on that planet. This book also makes me wonder about the kids who have lost there parents and how sad that must be for them. And what they have to go through every day.

Do you think you would read another book by this author? Why or Why not?
I think I would read another book by this author because is books are sci-fi and there really interesting as well. James also wrote a sequel to this book that is called Daniel X watch the skies. After I finish reading the book that I am no i will try to find that at a book store or a library. I like the wierd way he describes the aliens in the book as well.

Lord of the Flies Ch. 12

Lord of the Flies
Chapter 12- Cry of the Hunters
Perspective- Ralph Ghost


When I first hide from Jack I tell SamnEric that I am going to hide in the creepers because the only way to get in is to crawl or cut your way through it. Sam and Eric give me a piece of meat from Jacks feast. SamnEric were forced to join Jacks tribe or die. Roger had made a spear with two ends to put my head on it. While I was hiding SamnEric told Jack where I was hiding so he tried to flush me out with boulder's then spears then finally a fire and that worked. When I was running for my life to the beach I came in contact with something from the grown up world. A Naval Officer. When Jack appears on the beach he was still trying to kill me until he saw a grown up. While the officer and I were talking Percival could not remember his name. Then I said that I was chief. Then the naval officer is mad at us because were British and that is usually the top.

Lord of the Flies Ch. 11

Lord of the flies

Chapter 11- Castle Rock



Dear Diary,

I head that piggy told Ralph to blow the conch to see if everyone comes but no one really comes. Only the people from Ralph's tribe came to the call. And they talked about going to castle rock to talk with Jacks tribe. They said that when they go they will try to look as nice as they could. Then When they go to Jacks tribe he tells Him that it's the right thing to do to give him his glasses because he can't see a thing without them. At this point they all think they Jack is delirious. While there on there way roger challenges them. Before Jack came he had the boys tie up Wilfred so he could beat him up. Ralph tells everyone to come back to the tribe and stop the foolishness and that sets Jack off. After the fight SamnEric were kidnapped by Jack and turned to Jacks tribe. Roger pushes the rock on piggy because it was annoying him.

Lord of the Flies Ch.10

Lord of the flies
Chapter 10: The Shell and the Glasses
Perspective: Simon

Dear Diary,
After I died Ralph and Piggy talked about how I died. Piggy said it was an accident but I don't think so. I was just trying to tell them what was going on with that dead aviator. I don't see how you could kill someone after you were just singing and dancing and having a feast. Why did There have to be a storm. I always dreamed of dying in peace. Ralph said that it was murder and I believe him. They killed me without even looking. But then He says that they were scared. Personally I blame Jack because he had to get everyone all rilled up for nothing.

After that Jack becomes even more crazy. He would kill everyone of his tribe members just to have power. All he cares about is himself for example he made his tribe tie up Wilfred and leave him there until Jack wants to beat him up. Jack then decides to take Maurice and Roger and and still Piggys glasses in the middle of the night and they also plan to take there fire. And Ralph said all he had to do was ask for the fire if he wanted it. If I knew all this and was still alive I would do something about all of this.

When Jack raided Ralphs Camp that was pretty low even for Jack he could of done something different. Instead of going in and stealing the few things that they ahve left. Now all they have is Ralph, Piggy, SamnnEric, and a few little ones, and the conch. Other than that they have nothing. If I was to come back to liife I would be in ralphs tribe no matter how much they have.

Lord of the Flies Ch.8 & 9

Lord of the Flies
A gift for the Darkness
A view to a Death

The scene where Jack and his hunters create the sacrificial pig head. I think this scene was pretty weird because they track a pig using it's droppings so they had to touch it. How they chased it all the way to the open spot on the island. They do the act for real. How Golding made the scenery where the pig was, how there's nice green grass and flowers. Where they killed the pig is very awkward. If you were to go to an area that is all green and pretty, and you look around and there is this one patch of grass covered with blood. Jack hops on the pig and stabs it. After they kill the pig wildly, Jack says they should leave some for the beast so it wouldn't eat them hopefully. So they leave a piece of the pig for the beast and it happens to be the head. So they put it on a spear and stick it in the ground. And they leave and as soon as they leave. Here comes Simon.

I accuse the group for killing Simon because Simon is a nice guy and they murdered him. He was trying to tell them something. After how Jack says I thought he was the beast. After that the world kept going around and he had no feelings. And how Ralph says we murdered him. They never really took the time to see who or what it was they just attacked it. They say they were scared if they would have looked they wouldn't have been scared. They killed him and this makes me think are we really this crazy.
