summer reading question

The novel I read for summer reading was the City of Ember. The author, Jeanne DuPrau's writing shows that she is a woman of wondrous imagination and adventure. The sort of person I imagine the author to be like a person who's personality is very amusing and amiable. Her stories are of intriuging adventures which show that she has a fun personality and artistic imaginition. Her book also shares relationships, and the characters emotions are very descriptively written. This shows her readers that she is affectionate and considerate of others. Her writings also show that she is an entertaining person. I enjoyed the first book of her series and I look foward to reading other amazing books written by Jeanne DuPrau.

bullying(man's inhumanity to man)

If everyone feels that bullying is wrong then why can't society or our own Crossroads community put an end to it?

From the Lord of the Flies, Jack Merridew is the bully, and he teases Piggy. The reason society or our own community can't put an end to bullying is because they cannot control a persons desicion. A bully is insecure and has power from the fear of others. For this reason, not many have the courage to stand up to bullies. It is possible to make independent desicions, but when you are in a group, you feel more secure. The group can influence people to act against their wills through peer pressure. This is why the group of boys and Ralph can't stop Jack, and society can't stop bullying (Lord of the Flies). Piggy is being constantly mocked by his physiacal appearance. The crowd knows that this is wrong however, they all seem to agree with Jack, including Ralph. The fact that he has knife gives him power and respect from others. Society values physical appearance and strength over knowledge, thus agree with Jack more than Piggy. If they were to defend Piggy and leave the norm, you would be seen with a bad reputation (Piggy). So as much as we are encouraged to not bully and stand up for yourself and friends, people don't because of the risk of being bullied as well (Ralph).
