This Thanksgiving my mom, grandma, grandpa and I went over to a friend of my grandparents' house, as we do every year. Steve, one of the residents of the household, fries four massive turkeys for all twenty-six people. We arrived around 2:00 in the afternoon and stayed till 6:30. ate a variety of foods from the delicious turkey to mouthwatering sweet potatoes.

I was the only person there that was my age. Everyone there was in the 60-year-old range aside from my mother of course, and the few babies and toddlers. The owners of the house had three dogs that were named Henry, Sadie, and Suzy. After all of the food, we headed home to watch the LSU game. Overall, this thanksgiving was the same as the past few years, but it was still a great thanksgiving.

How to Digest Food Faster

To digest food faster you must first, make sure you are regularly exercising. This will keep the food moving through the digestive system. The overall effect will speed up the movement of the food and help the digestive process. The next step is to get a significant amount of rest.  Sleep gives the digestive organs the time they need to rest and repair, which increases their ability to digest food fast and efficiently.

You also need to drink a lot of fluids. Drinking fluids, especially tea or water, while or after eating helps with digestion. Fluids overall help your body break down food, and water can help by hydrating you as well. Lastly, you need to start eating high-fiber foods. Fiber-rich foods help digestion in many ways. Eating these types of foods can speed digestion by reducing constipation and maintaining general bowel health.

This Easter

This Easter my family is planning to go to Italy for Easter break. We plan to go to Venice, Florence, and obviously Rome. This will be the first time I will be in Italy. I have made a trip to France and Belgium the Easter before last. This year I will be spending my birthday in Italy. We will be going to see all of the museums, artifacts, famous paintings, and architecture we can in the short two weeks.

We will be taking a plane ride to Atlanta and then an eight-hour plane ride to Italy. Last time we watched movies on the built-in screens in the seats in front of us. I plan to do the same thing because I am not really able to sleep anywhere other than a bed. Overall I can't wait for our trip and I look forward to it every day.

Critical Scene From LOTF

One critical scene in LOTF is the scene where Simon is injured and imagining the pig head on the stick talking to him. In this scene, you should take notice that he isn't actually having a conversation, it's all in his head. This scene is very important to the novel because it truly shows how they need to get off this island and back home.

In this scene the Simon imagines the pig head saying that he was the beast and the Lord of the Flies, and this was the first mention of this throughout the whole book. Later on in this scene, Simon dies but nobody grieves his death.
