Welcome to All Peoples, Places, and Things

Hello, I'm back and I am reading the book Scopia. If you want to find out about my book then you've come to the right place. If you're chillin' that's OK too. While you're here you can feed my piranha-, I mean fish, or you can answer one of my many polls. If you're here to learn that is also OK. If you don't like LED ZEPPELIN that is not OK. So enjoy, my good peoples, places and things.

After reading my blog posts, would you consider reading this book?

Soundtrack

One song on the "soundtrack" would be Sting and the Police's "Message in a Bottle" because these kids are trapped on the island and they are trying to be rescued by lighting a fire on top of a mountain. It isn't exactly sending a message in a bottle but it they are trying to send an SOS.

Another would be "Good Times, Bad Times" by LED ZEPPELIN. You knew this was coming, there had to be a LED ZEPPELIN song in here. This relates to the story because in one scene Jack, who is head hunter and is also in charge of keeping the fire lit, has an obsession for hunting pig on the island, but he has never got one. He gathers everyone except a few to go hunt and leaves the fire unattended. He gets his pig but there was a ship that was out at sea that might have seen them if the fire was going. It shows their ups and downs and for better or for worse situations.

The 3rd song would be "Helpless" by Niel Young. This explains the little the boys can do except light a fire day and night. It also explains the helplessness of Ralph trying to keep all the "littluns" and Jack under control. The Beatles' "Help" would also work.

The 4th song would be "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath. This song would explain the paranoid feeling of everyone on the island. Everyone is afraid of this "Beast" that people have claimed to see, especially the "littluns".

Another would be "Run Through the Jungle" by Creadence Clearwater Revival. Half the island is a jungle that the boys run and play in. It would also work in the scene when the twins Eric and Sam are running through the jungle away from the beast that is supposedly chasing them.

The song "Yellow Submarine" by the Beatles would work because all the boys are just one big family on a small island like all the people are one big family on a small submarine in this song.

"Stairway to Heaven" by LED ZEPPELIN would be a good song for this just because its a good song.

    I agree with the first couple but why did you pick "Stairway to Heaven"? You really didnt give a good reason for picking that song.

    Ben: I've explained in previous posts that they are little ones. They are the small kids out of this group of boys. They range from 7-9.

    Andy: "Stairway to Heaven" is good song for anything. Don't question it. Don't deny it.
