Symbolism
One day on a Thursday night, Jordan and Sam went to a Thanksgiving dinner. When the two boys entered the house, the family said hey and gave hugs to the two boys. Jordan hid the flowers behind his back to surprise his grandmother with some flowers his grandfather used to give to her all the time for Thanksgiving before his passing. When he showed the red roses to his grandmother, tears came out of her eyes and reminded her of the memories her husband and herself had together. He gave it to her and she gave him a huge hug. As Sam saw the moment Jordan gave the flowers to grandmother, he forgot he had made a special video and photo book to remind everyone about their memories over the past few years. He went to the car and got his computer and photo book. He gave the photo book to his grandmother and she was surprised by the unexpected present that no one asked for. He plugged his computer up to the TV and it was videos of family reunions and birthdays and special moments the family had experienced.
From the short paragraph, a few symbols represents something special about the family of Jordan and Sam. The flowers Jordan brought to the table represent kindness and caring and supporting his grandmother though his grandfather's death. The family photos and the video represents love and flashback of the good memories the family had and selflessness on Sam's part. . The symbols represents the feelings of a Thanksgiving dinner.

Playoff Game in New Iberia
The Episcopal football team traveled to New Iberia to face the Catholic School of New Iberia. Everyone was serious about the game and ready to advance to the 2nd round of the playoffs vs. the winner against Dunham and Newman. At 6:30, we warmed up on a cold November night. The wide receivers was struggling with the routes and the running backs were hyped about this playoff game. The seniors was ready to play hard for their teammates and their possible last game as a Knight. Our defense stops the Panthers in the first possession of the game. When it was 3rd down for our offense, Kade Edenfield,our quarterback, threw a pass to Caden Dickinson for a huge touchdown in the first quarter. But sadly, that was the only touchdown we get in the first half. The score was 17-7 at halftime.
We started to slack off the rest of the game. The defense couldn't stop New Iberia's quarterback #2 because he ran all over the football field. He scored two touchdowns and it was 31-7 in the 4th quarter. Kade threw a pass to Caden that was tipped to Cole Carmouche for a incredible touchdown. But that wasn't enough to defeat the Panthers. We lost 31-14. The team was crying for the seniors because that was the last time we would ever play with each other ever again. The seniors told the under class-men we are the class that needs to step up. But everyone was happy after the game because we got pizza and made jokes on the bus.

LOTF Importance
A critical scene from "Lord of the Flies" was the death of Piggy. When Piggy was struck by a huge rock, the author stated that Piggy," fell forty feet and landed on his back across the square red rock in the sea. His head opened and stuff came out and turned red", stated on pg. 181. As Piggy was struck, the conch, stated on pg.181," exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist". The conch was a symbol of authority throughout the book. Ralph had no one in his group anymore after Simon and Piggy's death. Jack notice that Ralph has no power anymore because Castle Rock, Jack's group, had a lot of members.
Piggy's death also sends a message to the audience that Ralph might get killed by Castle Rock. The twins, Sam and Eric, states in Chapter 12 on pg. 188 that," They hate you.They're going to do you. They're going to hunt you tomorrow". Ralph soon runs away in the forest to escape from Castle Rock. When Jack scared Sam and Eric , Sam and Eric told Jack that he was there. Ralph, on pg. 200," looked up at a huge peaked cap". He was rescued which was led by Piggy's death.

How does the impact of the Alabama loss affect Coach O's coaching career at LSU?
The impact on the Alabama vs. LSU game was Jalen Hurt's running game. He had over 100 rushing yards and constantly got 1st downs on 3rd downs. The LSU defense was great until the 2nd half. Alabama soon got a touchdown from Jalen Hurt's and a field goal to seal the victory 10-0. I believe Coach O should have recognized that Jalen Hurts was killing the Tiger defense and the linebackers started to lost communication on the plays.The offense didn't step up and Leonard Fournette didn't do anything for the team like last year which will probably affect his draft stock.
The career of Coach O could affect him because the Alabama Crimson Tide defeated LSU 6 straight years. The LSU fans believed this was the year to defeat Alabama and feel that Coach O made the wrong play calls. He did good preparing the team all week and the way they started off was fantastic. But the team could not get the job done. LSU have to bounce back if they want to still be in the chase for the SEC Championship.

LOTF Response Chapter 8
In Chapter 8 of " The Lord of the Flies", Simon was discovering the forest for the beast that the groups on the island have been looking for. Simon meets the pig's head left by Jack's group that speaks as the Lord of the Flies. Out of Simon's imagination, the Lord of the Flies plays with Simon's head by saying statements like," What are you doing here? Aren't you afraid of me?"........"Fancy thinking the Beast was something you could hunt and kill." Simon knows that their is no beast, but the littluns think there are. I believe the beast is nothing but imagination too, like Simon thinks.
The Lord of the Flies states that the island was meant for fun, which that is also the way Jack thinks of the mysterious island too. The Lord of the Flies scares Simon by saying,"-Or else we shall do you?See? Jack and Roger and Maurice and Robert and Bill and Piggy and Ralph. Do you. See?". I wondered if this statement will affect Simon in the rest of the book,which it did. This scene in Chapter 8 was significant because this event leads up to Simon's death in Chapter 9.
