LOTF: Character Comparison

I think I am most like Piggy, since he thinks of solutions to problems.  He has many ideas about survival on the island, which is similar to how I think before I act.  I think of myself as a person who uses reason and logic to solve problems.  We both have glasses and depend on them for daily life.  Without them, we cannot see well and begin to panic.

Piggy is not popular among the boys, and the many of them do not consider Piggy to be part of the group. They insult him and say that he does not contribute.  This does not happen to me, as no one treats me this way.  Piggy also has asthma, which prevents him from doing any intense physical activity.  Unlike Piggy, I am able to perform to the best of my ability.  Even though we have a few differences, I would relate most to Piggy because of his use of reason.

4/25

I managed to do some review for school again.  I've reviewed some of the old material started preparing for school again.  I did relax today, but I don't think I've fully rested yet.    I did spend some time with my family.

This weekend I don't plan on doing any intense studying.  I'll probably look thorough my work and review.  I want to be productive, but I don't want to work myself too hard.  I'm going to enjoy the next two days, doing what I want to do.  I do hope to be prepared to get back to work when school comes back.

4/24

I had a relaxing day today.  I took a huge break from all the work I've been doing for the past two days, and it feels great.  I wanted to spend some time today studying.  Unfortunately, I didn't get to study as much as I wanted to.  I don't think I spent more than an hour studying.

Anyway, my day was pretty fun.  I was able to read a bit more than usual, and I was ready to take a break from all the work I was doing before.  I did almost nothing involving school in the morning, and I didn't really do anything until the evening.  I'm still glad I don't have more work to do.  I'll probably study more tomorrow, but I still have plenty of time.  I do want to make progress tomorrow, since I probably want to relax on the weekend.

4/23

I'm finally done with my homework as of today.  I still need to check and clean it up, but I managed to finish. I did start my work earlier, but I seemed to end at the same time as yesterday.  I think my pace was the same, and my schedule was was similar to yesterday, so I don't know why I ended around the same time. Tomorrow will be the start of my true break.

Today was similar to the past two days.  I woke up at around 8:00, since I always want to wake and sleep at the same time every day.  I occupied myself with various activities until 10:00, when I started my work. After I did the amount I planned to do, I took a break.  Then, I continued my work.  This pattern continued the entire day.  Right now, I'm planning to sleep soon, and I hope that tomorrow will be a relaxing day.

4/22

Today was similar to yesterday, and I feel a bit tired now.  I did problem after problem over the day, and I'll be glad to see the end of my homework.  The problems aren't too difficult, but there seems to be no end to them.  I alternated between break and work, with my breaks mostly consisting of reading something.  My work sessions don't last long, but it's almost the same task every single time.

I'm glad to be done with the work for today.  I plan to finish all of my homework tomorrow, and that will be another tiring day.  I am getting more sleep though, although I'm still the first one to wake up in my family.  Like yesterday, I delayed the start of my work until much later in the afternoon and evening.  If I start earlier tomorrow, I'll be able to finish sooner.  I could spread my work over a longer period of time, but I want to finish it early to enjoy my break later.  Fortunately, I have only one day to go.

4/21

This morning I woke up at my usual time and was ready to start my day.  I knew there was a lot of work to do; I had some homework that I wanted to finish early.  If I completed the work early, I would be able to relax and fully enjoy my break later.  However, this would mean that I would have to put in a week's worth of work into a few days.  I thought it would not be too difficult, since I had plenty of opportunities to work on the assignments.

However, the work used up more of my energy than I had initially thought it would.  The assignments seemed repetitive to me, and I thought there was no end to the problems.  I wanted to take a break like I was supposed to.  Unfortunately, I have a similar schedule for the next two days.  Fortunately, I have no work plans after that, so I plan to relax.  I hope to enjoy myself.

Extra Credit

The movie "Get Over It" and the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream" are similar in that both involve love and relationships.  A girl leaves one boy to be in a relationship with another, and the boy tries to win her back.   An event similar to this happens in the play.  However, the boy leaves the girl in that instance.  In the movie, the boy also came to love someone else, but the original couple came back together in the play.  There is also no one approving a certain pairing in the movie, as opposed to Egeus approving his daughter's marriage with Demetrius.  The movie and the play both end well. However, the play's characters wonder if they dreamed the events, but the movie's characters do not.
