Journal Post #6

      Barbie stated, that "he was having a bad reality, and that was something from which you could not wake." This exemplifies the fact that Barbie feels like the dome will never go away and he knows that he is unable to escape it. He is comparing his reality to a bad dream, but a bad dream ends when sleep ends. Reality though, continues to be like a nightmare.

      This book parallels William Goldings, "Lord of the Flies". For instance, the boys in Lord of the Files are unexpectedly isolated on an island. Similarily, Under the Dome hostages only have what the town limites have when the dome strikes down. As well, leadership forms but eventually there are two groups that seperate and attempt to live on theit own. This does not work well in the end because thwe two groups fight and do not see eye-to-eye.
