Chapter 2 was a very intense chapter because there was alot of arguing between each other and a lot of disagreement which got some people fustrated. The major problem for this was the conch and how it gave people the ability to speak which some people found unfair because when people with a lower statice spoke people didn’t listen for example when piggy spoke no one cared but when it was someone with a higher statice like when piggy was trying to talk even though he had the conch but no one was listening to him and some was even laughing.

We are introduced to a character named Piggy who is over weight and wears glasses and has asthma also another character named Ralph who had a father who works for the navy. They are stranded on a island because of a atomic bomb which was let of, they got evacuated and the plane must of crashed so that’s how they go on the island. They are all 12 year olds and some from different schools we meet Jack who was leader of the choir back in his school and wants to be leader. We also find out he doesn’t like to be called piggy because in the text it says “I said I didn’t want to be called piggy”.

Chapter 3 was about everyone getting passed what happened in chapter 2 and people growing up for example jack finally had the guts to go hunting

“majority of men, severed in me those provinces of good and ill which divide and compound man’s dual nature .”

This quote from the book Jekyll and Hyde shows how a man has a dual personality a good side and a bad side which links in with social contract which is basically how society is expected to behave. As you can see the quotes stays the majority of men behave in a certain way in a way they are expected to that why Jekyll is so perfect because he fits into society and behaves as expected but Hyde dosent, Hyde is cruel and dosent behave as expected this is what the quote is tying to say about the dual nature.

I disagree. I think that English is starting to evolve and adapt to people’s life styles. I wouldn’t consider it as destroying.

Technology has given us a shortcut in the way we speak online for example the majority of people would rather say u instead of you or yh instead of yes , these are know as abbreviations which have been around before technology.

I personally abbreviate when I’m texting because it’s way quicker and I understand it so it doesn’t make a difference for me. I also speak slang from time to time but it’s normally to friends and I’m normally conscious when I’m using it because if I was to speak to a teacher like that I would probably get in trouble.

People would normally say that slang is mostly used by young people but that is incorrect because most adults use slang and this new thing called emojis which is a simpler and more efficient way in sharing emotions.

Emojis also known as emoticons is a cartoon based emotion which is a quicker way of texting for example inset ad of saying in happy you could say ? Which is a way quicker way.

I understand why some people might think that slang or abbreviating or emojis is making us lazy or destroying the English language because some of these abbreviated words have made it into the English dictionary for example selfie which means taking a picture of your self.

As you can see I have left out the question mark on the question are you coming today, now that was done on purpose because it was seen as to long and I knew Lynden would understand anyway. I also abbreviated

The story of Jekyll and Hyde written by Robert Louis Stevenson is full of suspense which is why this story is so good. In my essay I will be talking about the reason why and how Stevenson causes suspense and mystery.

Chapter 2 “search for Hyde” has a lot of mystery and suspense because of the line “all his possessions were to pass into the hands of his friend and benefactor Edward Hyde”which creates a sense of mystery which we have to solve because as we know from chapter 1 Hyde trampled over the little girl which makes Hyde a evil person which leaves us thinking why would Jekyll want to pass over all his possessions to such a cruel man instead of giving it to Utterson. This causes a lot of questions to occur which makes us curious and want to unlock the mystery which also creates suspense because we can’t unlock the mystery straight away.

Stevenson was using dramatic irony to give us clues which the characters don’t see. The effect this gives the audience and the structure of the book is that it gives us hints which Utterson doesn’t see which makes us able to guess and give a prediction of how the story can play out and also causes suspense because we know what’s going to happen but we can’t do anything about it.
