    On page 3 I would ask them to predict what will happen when honeybee and horsefly both wanted the same flower. On page 5 I would ask them what would happen to horsefly and honeybee because they each lost a wing. Then on page 12 I would bring up how that the word “Drat” has been used alot by horsefly and honeybee. I would ask them what happens to them in the story that makes them use that word. Then I would ask them to brainstorm what they think it means and clarify. On page 22, when they escaped the bullfrog and went back to the same flower from earlier, I would ask them to make a prediction which connects back to the first one. The first time horsefly and honeybee wanted the flower they fought but by the end of the story they shared it which shows the resolution that comes with teamwork.…

    Lord of the Flies by William Golding has a plethora of literary techniques and strengths integrated within itself that separates it from other novels and work in tandem with the plot to form an enjoyable novel. A significant technique used in Lord of the flies is its multitude of motifs. Two of these many motifs include power and savagery and are brought up many times in the novel. The use of these literary techniques are to emphasize the insanity the boys on the island go through. In our pastiche we wrote an alternate ending to Lord of the flies if there was an adult figure arbitrarily inserted to temporarily offset the balance of power and insanity.…

    David Mares gives us insight into the political economy of drug trafficking in his book Drug Wars and Coffee Houses. To help us understand how psychoactive substances are organized and distributed, he uses the concept of a commodity chain. A commodity chain is the system that links consumption of psychoactive substances to everything that makes it possible, and proves that if something affects one phase of the system, the other phases are affected as well. Consumers and producers in this system depend on each other, and “neither one could exist without the other” (Mares, p.13). The whole system consists of various pieces that ultimately work towards getting the consumer what they want, and from a producer who actually has what they want. Since consumers and producers are rarely ever in the same place, consumers get their substances from a transportation network. These traffickers get the substances from the producers, and just like any other business, producers need various inputs. This includes “labor, chemicals, and in the case of illegal products, perhaps weapons and corrupt officials, to produce and transport the substance” (Mares, p.13). So then we have the people who provide these inputs. Playing with drug money can get messy, so then money launderers come into the picture. The commodity chain system that Mares presents helps us organize and understand how all these roles connect to get a psychoactive substance produced and distributed to consumers.…

    I choose project number one, Girls Lord of the Flies. I choose this because while reading the original Lord of the Flies, I thought that it would be more interesting if the author, William Golding, would have had some of the characters girls, instead of all boys. I wish that some of the details weren’t as gruesome as they are. If they weren’t so gruesome, the story would be a little bit more interesting to many readers. This project was not very hard to complete. I first took note on what I would like the story to been written such as the characters being changed and items involved. Soon after that, I wrote a rough draft, and then wrote my final project. I enjoyed this project, because it allowed me to change the novel and write…
