Your job throughout your reading of Lord of the Flies is to take a close look at William Golding's use of symbolism by attempting to solve the mystery of: what meanings do these people and objects carry??
How will you do this? Take a look at the different posts that I have listed on this blog (Ralph, Simon, Jack, the Conch Shell, the Fire, and the Beast). Each one of these posts is a symbol that Golding uses. Every time you notice something or find something out about one of those objects or people, write a comment about it on the specific post.
(For example, I would write any comment I have about Ralph's character as a comment on the post, "Ralph".)
As you all read and write your thoughts and questions about each symbol, hopefully a bigger picture of what each thing or person could mean will emerge. This is also meant to be a place where you can ask each other questions and hopefully get some answers.
(For example, if I had information about Simon, thought it might be useful but I didn't know why it was useful yet, I might write my information and then ask..."Does anyone know what this means to the story?"...You might get an answer! Or, you might write, "I don't know if this is going to be helpful or not, but on page such-and-such, Simon does this or that")
Remember to always write your page number so that everyone can find it and be able to look at what you are talking about.

ReplyDeleteAbove is the link to see the full island that I made in Google SketchUp. Highlight it, copy it, and than paste it into the bar where you type web addresses (does that even make sense?!)
ReplyDeleteIt makes sense but it to didn't work for me. Maybe we can figure it out together tomorrow.
