WEEK 9

WELCOME!  

Here's your work...

1. Revise your ATTC essay. 

2. Finish reading LOTF. Explain each of the 12 chapter titles in a sentence or two (look for multiple meanings! "Cry of the Hunters", for example, means two different things.)

3.  LOTF essay pre-write... For each of the following, write a 50-word response.

a. Discuss the motif of rock throwing (throwing, rolling, kicking, etc.) as a means of tracking the descent of the boys into savagery (You'll want to consider sand as a kind of rock).

b. Discuss Ralph's attempt to keep himself from savagery. Where is he successful? Where does he fail?

c. Discuss Golding's use of symbolism.

d. Discuss Simon as a Christ figure (Did you notice that Simon comes down from the mountain with good news about freedom from the beast and is met with death? He then "ascends" into the stars when tide lifts his body. There's a lot of that kind of imagery with Simon).

This is due Friday.  


Have a great week!
