Vois Sur Ton Chemin

Vois sur ton chemin
Gamins oubliés égarés
Donne-leur la main
Pour les mener
Vers d'autres lendemains

Sens au coeur de la nuit
L'onde d'espoir
Ardeur de la vie
Sentier de gloire

Bonheurs enfantins
Trop vite oubliés effacés
Une lumière dorée brille sans fin
Tout au bout du chemin

Sens au coeur de la nuit
L'onde d'espoir
Ardeur de la vie
Sentier de gloire

[American Boy Choir]

Aaaaaaaaa-oooo

Vois sur ton chemin
Gamins oubliés égarés
Donne leur la main
Pour les mener
Vers d'autres lendemains

Sens au coeur de la nuit
L'onde d'espoir
Ardeur de la vie

Sens au coeur de la nuit

Aaaaaaaaa

Sentier de gloire!
Sentier de gloire!
Sentier de gloire!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Sentier de gloire!!
Sentier de gloire

Look on your path

Children who are lost and who have been forgotten
Lend them a hand
And lead them
Towards another future

Feel in the middle of the night
A surge of hope
The indefatigability of life
The Road to glory

Childish happiness
Erased and forgotten too fast
A golden light shines forever
And the end of the road

Feel in the middle of the night
A surge of hope
The indefatigability of life
The Road to glory

Children who are lost and who have been forgotten
Lend them a hand
And lead them
Towards another future

Feel in the middle of the night
A surge of hope
The indefatigability of life

Feel in the middle of the night

The Road to glory! [repeat]

POETRY ASSIGNMENT

2011-02-27T19:18:00.000-08:00

The poem entitled "The Second Coming", written by William Butler Yeats, relates to The Lord of the Flies in three ways. Firstly, it brings the reader to understand that "innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity." Secondly, it tells us that when "the falcon cannot hear the falconer;" things fall into a chaotic anarchy. Finally, it alludes to corruption of mankind-- the "...shape with lion body and the head of a man,". To begin, the poem states "...innocence is drowned;", connecting to the book in many ways. Simon, viewed as the 'holy' one, is the only innocence on the island, the only character that sees the truth behind fear. He is brutally beaten, ripped apart, and torn of all his sanity. Just like as Yeats had said, "the best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity." Simon was weak, and was in no position to help himself during the whole novel because what he said made no sense the boys. That there was no such thing as a beast on the island, only fear. Moreover, the poem brings up "The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,". This section is incredibly important in terms of the novel because it shows the downfall of humanity. As the novel progresses, Ralph loses all authority of the boys to Jack, thus turning into chaos and brutal dictatorship. Ralph is the falconer, and the boys on the island are the falcon-- they do not hear the call of their owner and stray from the path of freedom. Finally, we cannot ignore the message that man can turn into beast given the circumstances. "A shape with a lion body and the head of a man," explains to us that on the outside, we may look like humans, but really, our actions make us animals. Like Jack, his actions make him a beast, though on the outside, he most definitely human. This poem brings up many things such as killing of the innocent, savagery, and leadership, but it allows for many other interpretations as well.

WHEN = TWO DAYS AGO
WHO = BOYS
WHAT = RESCUE
WHERE = ISOLATED ISLAND NORTH OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN
WHY = BIG FIRE
HOW = NAVAL SHIPS

Two days ago, 38 boys were rescued off an isolated island north of the Atlantic Ocean by the British Navy. Sir Oliver Marsh had spotted a great deal of smoke in the horizon and decided to take a look, recalling the sight as "...repulsive and disgraceful. British boys should have known better."

The River Simulation

2011-02-07T15:53:00.000-08:00

   The River Simulation was comprised of five different groups all around the classroom. These groups/villages were named Titan, Oberton, Io, Rhea, and lastly, Callisto. Every village had its own unique population, water, and the number of people that would die if they were to, per se, go to war against another village. The point of the River Simulation was to gain enough water to support you and your own village, for the drought had decreased the amount of available water. Of course, this meant war.
   As part of the village of Oberton, it was key to make beneficial alliances. For example, we planned on having an alliance with Titan due to its prosperous population, making it easier to win wars directed as us. See, the point of this game is to make the right decisions ( although you may not exactly know at that point in time ) with the right people, expecting that you will not be back-stabbed during the final round. You have to know who you're playing against and it's best if you know the people from the other group cause you get along with them anyway, so why not just team up against another village? I understand that Rhea and Titan both had the highest populations, but don't you think it's essential that you create a bond between you and the other group too? I know that if I had another good friend there, I'd know what she'd do and then abuse that knowledge. I'd tell my group: "No, she won't attack us."
   But then again, it's a game of luck and trust. It's hard to tell what's going to happen and who's going to do what because hey. People want to win. People want to have a feeling of satisfaction, a sense of pride. Titan had declared war on Rhea at the end, even when it wasn't necessary. There's enough for you all, so why not just leave it at that? It would have been possible for my village to survive that drought as well, if not for that sentence 2-3 sentences ago.
   Sometimes it's hard to understand what goes through one's mind when dealing with global economic issues. And I, for one, have no idea how the government does its negotiations but I'm sure that if I had the authority to choose, I wouldn't. Who knows if they're going to break the treaty? I mean, things were going fantastic last semester for Diplomacy, until ( insert person's name that I do not like ) moved over to that country due to the lack of group members. We would have won, if only he wasn't so blood-thirsty. ( D: ) Oh well. It's all a game, so I suppose it's nothing to make a big deal out of.
