Read the essential question, and write a thoughtful post. You must cite at least one passage from Lord of the Flies to support your thinking about the question. Your post must be at least 100 words. Adhere to the structure of Claim, Evidence, Elaboration. See model below. Your response to a classmate must also be thoughtful. You must respond to at least one other classmate. Your response must be at least 50 words. No citation from the text is necessary for your response. 1. What is an individual's responsibility to a community? An individual's responsibility is to care about those who live and work within the community. For example in the novel, Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Piggy demonstrates this characteristic of caring about the boys on the island. He not only wants to know all of the boys' names, he notices the missing boy at the end of chapter 2. He says, "'That little 'un that had a mark on his face--where is--he now? I tell you I don't see him'" (46). Piggy's nature is to show concern for those around him, and this is how human beings should act toward the people in their communities. 102 WORDS--WRITE IT FIRST IN A WORD DOCUMENT AND THEN CUT AND PASTE INTO THE FORUM. THIS IS HOW YOU CAN SEE HOW MANY WORDS YOU'VE WRITTEN. Red = CLAIM Green = TEXTUAL EVIDENCE Blue = ELABORATION

Great job on the response. I like how you showed Piggy's skills for responsibility and the way you typed that. This taught me that the person that has the most leadership skills and intel should be the leader not the person that looks the most reliable. It doesn't matter by appearance but only the mind and heart of the person.

Your example made me consider how much Piggy is crucial to the other boys, except that the other boys do not realize it. In addition, Piggy is always seen as a pest or a shadow that is no help, when really he has done plenty for the others. He knows what to do in order for everyone to survive by the time they get rescued. Communities need people to be able to know how to act and lead others, in order to prevent chaos. An individual must act properly and do what their role. That is their sole responsibility in their communities.

I liked how you elaborated more on your evidence which made me understand how your view of how an individual's role should be in a community. However, I think that the other boys would not listen to Piggy's ideas because they would not listen to someone who looks less superior then they are just because he is fat, wears specs and has asthma. Also, Jack and Ralph probably never gave him the chance to talk because he felt threatened that a kid like Piggy was smarter than he was, even though Piggy was not the chief's.

I definitely agree with what you said about Piggy. This taught me that Piggy is a leader that can reason with others in his own way. I think that he is the one who tries really hard to tell the other members what to do. I think this is what people in the community should do.

This quote makes me consider about the charismatic skills that Piggy takes on. His veracity in his attitude demonstrates his eagerness to promote general welfare for the greater good of his mutual friends. His virile experiences allow him to be more skilled in outdoor survival and organization of the society.

An individual's responsibility is to take about a leadership position and help others and give to them with the quality of charisma. For example in the novel, Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Ralph demonstrated his leadership by being gregarious as well as being the one who true leadership. He demonstrates it by having the voice and skills. He organizes the group, saying, “ ‘The choir belongs to you, of course.’ ‘They could be the army—’ ‘Or hunters— ’ ‘They could be—’ ”(23). Ralph’s charismatic ways has helped to shape who he really is and what he really does best for the greater good of the organization of the social community.

You must introduce the passage you are quoting. It should not stand alone. For example, write, Piggy says, “We ought to be more careful…You said Ralph was chief and you don’t give him time to think. Then when he says something you rush off…”(45). Passages you use as evidence should not stand alone. They need to be introduced in some way.

I agree with you because if people don’t behave or act proper in a society, there would be a lot of chaos. I believe that Piggy should be the leader since he is straightforward and tells everyone that they are being stupid. This contributes to leadership because it makes people think more about their actions.

Your response made me realize how Piggy should be the leader instead of Ralph. Piggy speaks up more than Ralph does. Being a leader shouldn't be scared to say anything if someone is doing it wrong and commands the group. I feel like Piggy would is being ripped off.

I definitely agree with your post, Eric. I believe it can totally relate to my post in saying that similarly both of our posts discuss about an individual fulfilling their purposeful role in their community in order to create a sort of stabilization. These communities are in need of any type of contribution so that they can survive.

I agree with your claim, that people need to help create a stable community for it to prosper. If they were all taking names, then they would of knew everyone faster and come together as 1 at the island. The little kids wouldnt be so scared and they would grow faster.

Creating a stable community is not always a one person job. I agree with you when you said everyone should cooperate and listen to others. Not only is it effective, it can also put less stress on the other person. I think that Ralph shouldn’t have scolded Piggy just because he did not write down all the names, because Ralph is also partially faulted too.

I agree with your claim because there is always a “leader” in society. If there were no one to lead, then it would lead to chaos and disorder of society. It reminds me of my claim because I said there needs to be a person who help people and show leadership abilities.

People can not make decisions for themselves. Like for Republic's they have people who they elect to make decisions for them. I feel that this is what piggy is trying to do. Establish a system of government so the community will run smoothly. Yet everyone thinks its a stupid idea because they only listen to the person with the conch. They have to be able to adapt to new ideas and learn from new perspectives so they will survive longer.

Brandon, I think that what you said was correct. Not every community is the same. It does greatly effect depending on the leader. Some people are aware of their community more than others, and sometimes an individual has to take moe control than others.

I agree with you how you said that people in the community must carry out the role that are meant for them. Because if someone in the community tried to carry out duties they are not adapted to, it is obvious that they won't do a satisfying job. Therefore, it will lead to creating a malfunctioning community.

I agree cause in all commuity people should have to respect and carry out there duties. Take charge and do thier duties to make the commutiy a better place and not have it turn out to be the worst place you would ever want to be at. Commutiy having duties mean that there is somethig keep order and not let balance fall out of place.

A person’s responsibility to their community is to serve the members by performing actions that benefit everyone as a whole. For example, Jack’s responsibility is the serve as chief. Jack carries out his job by attempting to bring order to the group of boys by creating rules. “We can’t have everybody talking at once. We’ll have to ‘Hands up’ like at school… I’ll give the conch to the next person to speak.” (33). He also organized the brief exploration of the island, bringing along Jack and Simon. His leadership is shown through his establishment of rules because chiefs are supposed to govern. As chief, he, directs and guides the other boys
