q2 week 6. how to

Today I am going to share to you how to prepare Maruchan Ramen noodles. With these simply ten steps you can be eating noodles in no time. The needed items include
1- Marucahan noodles
2- 4 cups of water
3- Pot
4- Heat source.

After the required items are gathered you may start the real cooking. The first step is to take every cup of water and deposit it inside of the pot. Second, Put the pot on a powerful heat source (at least 100 degrees C). Third, let the pot sit until the water is boiling. Fourth, put the dry noodles into the boiling water and let three minutes pass. Fifth, remove the pot from the heat source. Sixth, remove water as you see fit (lots of broth or no broth). Seventh, add flavor packet, Eighth, Stir. Ninth, remove product from pot and place in secondary eating dish. Tenth. Consume the achieved product.

One of the most critical scenes in Lord Of the Flies is Piggy`s death, on page 181. It is described as "The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee; the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist. Piggy, saying nothing, with no time for even a grunt, traveled through the air sideways from the rock, turning over as he went. The rock bounded twice and was lost in the forest. 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. Piggy’s arms and legs twitched a bit, like a pig’s after it has been killed. Then the sea breathed again in a long, slow sigh, the water boiled white and pink over the rock; and when it went, sucking back again, the body of Piggy was gone.". The first thing I notice is the word choice. It is very factual and emotionless.

The passage leads me to ask questions about it. For instance, why is it so emotionless? My theory is that the reason is because Piggy is a very factual person. His death fit his personality. I have the same theory about Simon's death.

Food preference changes from person to person but the most crucial, most controversial is between pancakes and waffles. Both waffles in pancakes have their loyal followers who both believe that their food preference is more correct than that of the other side. This controversy has been fought out for many generations and left its mark on society as we today know it. As the waffle vs pancake battles entered the market industry, corporations like Waffle House and IHOP both began slandering one another in order to dominate the breakfast restaurant market and to promote their icon, the waffle or pancake, victorious.

There are pros and cons to both waffles and pancakes. Waffles tend to be cheaper (waffle house) and pancakes tend to be more expensive (IHOP). Waffles are better for holding toppings while pancakes are a flat surface in which toppings can just fall off. Both base products are made from the same key ingredients. Waffles tend to have thinner batter and more milk becuase it doesnt need to support its own shape because they are made with a template. In my personal opinion waffles are the better choice.

Prompt

Prompt: What if all currency was replaced with cookies. More valuable cookies have more value and worth while cheap cookies are low forms of cash. Freshness and condition of the cookies also plays a role in the value (fresh, condition=value)

At first the wealth among countries wouldn't change much. The pre-wealthy countries already had enough resources to keep the cookie production flowing at first while the poorer countries don't have the resources to produce cookies at the same speed other countries can. The import cost of cookie components would eventually increase in cost and the countries that produce the ingredients would gain wealth quickly while the ones dependent on the importing of ingredients would lose money and go into poverty.

As with all human progress, there would be challenges to overcome in order to reach the best possible outcome. When the cost of ingredients get too high, people will start making cookies out of non-regulated cookie ingredients, essentially making counterfeit and illegal wealth. Another problem would be inflation of cookies for countries rich in ingredients. There would need to be regulations on the amount of cookies or the value of batches of cookies produced by the general public.

lord of the flies reading response

The world, that understandable and lawful world, was slipping away.  Once there was this and that; and now--and the ship had gone. [... Jack refusing to give Piggy the floor when he has the conch...]
"The rules!" shouted Ralph.  "You're breaking the rules!"
"Who cares?"
Ralph summoned his wits.
"Because the rules are the only thing we've got!"
But Jack was shouting against him.
"Bollocks to the rules!  We're strong--we hunt!  If there's a beast, we'll hunt it down!  We'll close in and beat and beat and beat--!" (91)

What I have interpreted from this passage is that the atmosphere on the island is worsening. This is supported by the narration saying that the lawful world was slipping away. Another example is Jack refusing to let Piggy have the floor even though he has the conch. He is directly breaking the established rules. Jack then goes on to exclaim how he doesn't require rules and how he can triumph through his own will.

The worsening of the island's stability and Jack's rebellious nature is significant because it will ultimately lead to chaos. If people do not respect the established rules then tension will grow between the people and the power in place on the island. For order among a group to exist there must be rules. If rules cannot be followed then the island will fall into chaos.
