Lord Of The Flies Project Presentations day 3

The first island that was presented today was "HAVSPS Island" from group 2: The Fake Family. On the Island there is:
- A downtown area with malls and other shopping buildings, large towering apartments, and skyscrapers.
- A village that focuses on art and relaxing, with a bakery, mulitple buildings dedicated to the many forms of art.
- A residential area what consists of many houses and stores where the common people on the island lives.
- A city that has towering buildings, luxurious houses, and prestigious schools where the wealthy people live.
- An outdoors area with no buildings, a forest, a beach, a bonfire, and has constantly changing weather for camping and adventure. The island is also surrounded by uncharted territory.
- A river that splits the island into two sections with bridges connecting the two halves.
- A train on each side of the island allows for easy travel within the island.

Although the island was based off of the modern day east coast of America, the whole Island seemed more European to me. With the urban areas where art is very prevalent and is small enough where cars aren't needed and people mostly used the train, that is also surrounded by nature and small villages. Overall the island seemed like a very picturesque vacation spot grounded in reality that sounds like a place that I would personally like to go to once in a while.


The second island that was presented was "Banana Island" from group 5: Kelvin 506 an Island in the shape of an island that is inhabited by minions. On the island there is:
- A mountain of naturally formed ice cream surrounded by a chocolate moat.
- A forest of Banana trees that cover most of the Island.
- "Kevin Lake," a lake named after "Kevin," a minion worshiped by the other minions as a god.
- "Candy Cane Docks," where people enter and exit the island."
- A village where people can rent huts to stay.
- An ancient chocolate meteorite that has a cave that formed over thousands of years.
- Only one form of currency, Bananas.

The Island in general came off as a light hearted joke concept of an island that only serves to get a good laugh out of someone. It wasn't made to work seriously, as it would be impossible for any stable economy to form as we discussed in class, but it served it's purpose as a quick little "what if..." joke that managed to get me to chuckle. Although it isn't a place that I wouldn't be seen at any time soon.
