On Your Own Notebook Paper If I Could Turn Back Time . . . . Take a second and think like Cher. Focus on one moment in time, one decision that you made, one action that you took that you desperately wish you could change. Write about what happened, and then explain why you want to go back and “fix” it. Make sure to include some mention of what you learned as a result of your decision.

Highlight each sentence type, punctuate the sentence correctly, and label the following: • type of sentence, the conjunction you used to connect the independent clauses, the independent and dependent clauses, and the subordinating conjunction you used to join your clauses
Good Commentary Look Like… While hunting in the jungle, the sudden cry of a bird startles Jack and he,“…shrank at this cry with a hiss of indrawn breath, and for a minute [he] became less a hunter than a furtive thing, ape like among the tangles of the trees” (3.49). Using imagery to describe Jack as an ignorant animals alludes to the author’s point about the inevitability of the breakdown of society. Only for a minute does Jack revert to savagery, but he is unable to control this reversion as it is now a natural instinct. The author exposes Jack’s beastly reaction upon surprise to convey how hunting in the jungle turns Jack into part of the wilderness.
Good Commentary Look Like… Caught up in the re-enaction of the hunt,“Ralph too was fighting to get near, to get a handle of that brown, vulnerable flesh. The desire to squeeze and hurt was overmastering (7.114-115).Ralph’s ability to fall into group violence is dismaying because he is supposed to be the strong democratic power. Golding includes Ralph in the re-enaction to reveal that even society’s leaders can be corrupted by power. Ralph’s desire to hurt another boy comes from the power he feels when caught up in the mob of re-enaction.
