Write one paragraph about what you think causes homophobia and one paragraph supporting the pride community (second paragraph is optional in the assignment )

I think that religion is one main factor of Homophobia, as in the bible it says "Man shall not sleep with boy," which actually means, "An adult and kid shouldn't be together." Another large reason, is, people don't like change, and some find the stereotypes people lay out odd, when most aren't true and don't apply to a majority of LGBTQ+. The last reason, is, they're scared of the human race collapsing due to lack of reproduction, which is unlikely, as there are still billions of people on the planet.

I support pride, because, people that are in LGBTQ+ are human as much as we are, and deserve rights. They can't help who they love. They're human beings and should be treated as them. They have done nothing to harm us, so why should we harm them?

assignment

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
