Task: Present our creative Islands that we made in our class groups. These Creative Islands are to be based off of the Island the boys crash land on from Lord of flies. We were to use the examples of creative imagery and mood/setting we learned in Lord of the flies to thoroughly develop our islands; Ms. Fusaro gave our class a lot of diversity with these assignments so you will see a large amount of variation between the different groups presentations which in my opinion is way more exciting.

First up is burning books with: The Flying Islands

           Burning books is a little bit different from the competition opting in to more of an archipelago than a single Island. This Archipelago is broken up into five unique Islands: Peasant/Agriculture Island, Military Island, Fire Island, Coal mining/Industrial Island and Rich/City Island.



Military Island:

  • If on military island you must server in the military between the age of 18-65. 
  • Order is based on rank.
  •  Protects the rest of the Islands
  • Surrounded by sharks (spooky)

Agriculture Island:

  • People on the Island are dirt poor
  • Provides food for other Islands
  • Its cramped and discomforting to live on the Island
Coal Mining Island:
  • Live expectancy is low because most work all day in the Coal mines
  • Inhabitants are essentially slaves working unfair hours for no wage
City Island:
  • Everyone on the island is either extremely rich or poor
  • Very vain society all anyone cares about is wealth
  • The poor make these material things for the rich
Fire Island: 
  • It is supposed to represent the never ending connection between the Islands


Close Behind is Celsius 232 presenting: Oreo Island




       So as this is my own group I will try to not be too biased but hey Oreo Island actually looks pretty cool. Celsius 232 made their model in Minecraft adding many details from their story into the actual presentation. Speaking of my group decided to actually write a story along with our island which revolves around Commander crunch who lands on an mysterious Island made of cookies and Oreo's. His Island eventually results into a war breaking out in between the two inhabitant clans on the Island the chocolate oreo's and the golden vanilla oreo's. They fight to the end until the island (cookie) finally crumbles and all of the conflict leads to the Island spliting apart. As I reflect back on my Island I feel that maybe we may have included some culturally themes and language in our writing (which I will not get into detail about), we were quick to fix after we noted the issue but these type of thing are inexcusable even if unintended. This just goes to show the importance of proof reading especially reading as if you are an outsider to catch things that my slip by. 


Peace out ;3
