Bullying (Man's inhumanity to Man)

I think our society cannot stop bullying because we can't stop human emotions. It's impossible to be happy one hundred percent of the time. When people get angry they tend to show it. Like Jack for Lord of the Flies. He is violent and has a very short temper. Other people turn their anger into something else, like art or poetry. In conclusion, anger is a part of humanity so bullying in inescapable.

This article talks about a new species of fly that was found. According to the article this fly lived about 100 million years ago. It is obviously extinct now but they found the body of the fly that was fossilized in tree sap long ago. Amazingly, even the wings are still there because the tree sap preserved the body in life-like detail. The feature that is so unique about this certain kind of fly is that is has a horn, like a unicorn. That's why it is called the "unicorn" fly. Not only does it have a horn, but it has three eyes on top of the horn!

My reaction to this article was shock. I never thought a fly could have a horn. The fact that it also has three eyes is also mind blowing. I also feel that scientist got lucky because the fly was preserved so well and they were able to study it easily. I think this discovery could help us to understand what that time period was like. Most people are so absorbed with dinosaurs that they forget that other organisms were around at the time too. I hope they find more incredile and unique animals like this one.

What sort of person do you imagine the author of the novel to be?

I imagine the author of the novel to be the type of person that thinks outside of the box. I feel this way because the book is written in a way where it jumps from a current scene to backround information. Also, you only understand the message at the end of the book because the author doesn't just give all the information in the beginning, but she drops one or two small hints at a time.
