What is the main difference of the protagonist at the beginning of the novel vs at the end

Philip thinks that war is a joke. He used to play with Hendrik that they were soldiers in war. This soon changes when Philips ship going to Miami is torpedoed by a german U boat. He is alone on a raft with an old man and they get on an island . The old man, Timothy, teaches Philip how to catch fish,build a hut, travel alone even though he is bling, and climb a really tall coconut tree. Timothy later dies and Philip is blind and alone, after a while a ship passes and Philip is rescued. Philip never played with Hendrik about war and felt he was a man and was very mature

What is the biggest external conflict that the protagonist is battling at the moment?

The external conflicts that the protagonist is facing is that he's ship was torpedoed and he is now a castaway. He is stuck with an old man on a raft. He is separated from his mom. He feels scared that he is with this big african person and he has to build up courage. He is terrified because he is blind! He depends on Timothy now.

Mayan Simulation Reflection

This year we did a Maya Simulation. The simulation was for we to learn about the Mayas and to experienced the way they lived and traded.I thought that this simulation was really fun and exciting. It was very interesting to learn about the Ancient Maya and their ways. The simulation was a very creative idea and I enjoyed it. On the first day  it was a bit though because we had to fill out the royal census,royal inventory,math tasks and many other things. It was a bit confusing but by day 3 I had already understood it and it was simple. I thought that the sacrifice was really fun and I liked how the God Chac was in charge of things. All in All I thought that this simulation was a very fun and exciting thing to do.

Bud not Buddy Questions

This metaphor that Bud says about Herman being his father grew up like a seed but got bigger and BIGGER!  This means that an slight thought in your head can become bigger when you start believing in it. For example Bud used this slight thought to decent himself then it became bigger.

Bud Buddy Question

I think that the people in Hooverville are good to trust. I think Bud thinks the same thing because he lets the lady take his suitcase. the man was also very friendly with them and offered them food. the people might be homeless and starving but they are kind and offered food to Bugs and Bud.

Bud not Buddy question

Racism does not really happen but their are some poor broke white people who are taking shelter at Hooverville. They refuse to eat the things the black people give them they also refuse clothing. The white people think that they are to good for the blacks. They eat dandelions.
