What qualities are most important to you in a friend? Describe the ideal friend.
My ideal friend is someone who is always there for you. Someone who is caring, kind, and friendly. Someone I can be myself around, someone to be there through thick and thin. My friend should be someone I can truly trust with my life. This person should be someone I can joke around with, but know when to be serious.

Survivor : The Simpsons
Discuss the similarities and differences to the first chapter of the novel. Why do you think the writers/producers made those changes?
There are many similarities with this video and Lord of the Flies. Children are stranded on an island with no adults, they have a shell or "conch", and there are a couple little clips of them gathered around discussing things, as if they were having a meeting. The only difference was that there were girls on the island to. I think they did this to not be sexist, and maybe use it to their advantage to make it funny.

Racism and Stereotypes in Advertising
What images shocked or bothered you the most? What is your reaction to the more recent stereotypes? Have we changed? Can you find any other stereotypes that impact your age group?
I was shoked when I saw these advertisements, because I never realized how racist some of these ads were. Right away I could pick out the stereotype that was being presented. Which shows that I have heard or seen these stereotypes before.
All of the ads were offensive, but I found the black stereotypes were the worst. They changed the spelling of some of the words to make it look/sound different. By doing this they are making black people illiterate and grouping them together, and not even considering them as people. They were treated horribly and they were forced to do all the work for white people.
Now a days, there are still stereotypes and racism. Its everywhere. Not just in advertisements. In the magazine advertisements I found the stereotypes more 'hidden'. I think people are more aware of the issue, so they try to hide it even more, so it is unnoticed.
