Chapter 10 Common Core Questions
1. Ralph knew what they had done, he even admitted to piggy it was murder. "Piggy." "Uh?" "That was murder" ( Golding 156). however Piggy refuses to accept that is was in fact cold blooded murder and says it was an accident. "It was an accident," said Piggy suddenly, "that's what it was an accident" (Golding 157). This shows that piggy feel guilty and just want s to forget the whole thing ever happened.2.Ralph and Jack both reacted extremely different to Simon's murder. Ralph realized what they had done and felt extremely guilty about it (Golding 156) whereas Jack feels no remorse. Jack believes it was an act of self defense because he thought Simon was the beast (golding 160).3. Based on jacks orders to beat up Wilfred and his response to Simons death, we can see that jack is becoming more savage like. He has no remorse for any of his actions and has no sense of humanity.4. Jack is now the chief instead of Ralph. Jack is now referred to as "Chief" (Golding 160, 161).

Editorial- Does class size matter
I believe that smaller class sizes have a significant impact on student achievement. With fewer students in your class, the teacher is able to better focus on each individual student making sure the whole class understands the lesson/subject, thus performing better in the class. With larger class sizes, it is more difficult to focus, learn, and understand.
School is already hard enough, and by adding more students to a class you make it more difficult on each student. With less students, however, it is easier to get individual attention from your teacher, making sure you actually understand the material. Also in smaller class sizes, each student can have a voice and express their opinion. This may be more difficult if you were dealing with more students. In my opinion, the benefits to smaller classes are endless.
As stated in the article, Does class size matter, "Millions of public school students across the nation are seeing their class sizes swell because of budget cuts." In California alone class sizes have grown from an average of 24 students to 30-31 students. The government might just see it as a way to save money. They might not see the difference a few more students make, but class size has a huge impact on students. As I previously stated, a larger class size may cause a student to easily lose focous, and it may not allow students to get the extra attention they need.
