Author's Message

You all have done a great job thinking and using each others comments to help you figure out what each symbol means or what each could mean.

Now, I would like you to think about William Golding's message to his reader. Authors don't jut write books to write them; they write them as a commentary on what they are seeing in the "real world" and to teach us a lesson about mankind or ourselves.

Do you have an idea of what William Golding is trying to tell us about people in general? Think about the symbols and how they all intertwine.

We'll revisit this topic on Thursday when we meet.
