1. The highlight for me in the past semester would be how we all collaborate and form unique and valid impression or inferences of the book. For example when we first started reading the book we sat in a circle and I remeber that being a fun and productive lesson because we got to work together. Even just normal discussions with my partner is also really fun because I get to share my thoughts and learn more aboout the other person and how their viewpoints and perspectives vary from mine.

2. A challange I've faced would having to memorise the evidences from the book. I've had trouble having to memorise the evidences word for word but over time I've learnt that its better very strongly link a certain evidence that strongly supports my points. Another challange would be some of the language in LOFT because obviously the language style of Golding is very different from ours and having to refer back to the meanings can get a bit troublsome sometimes.

3. Reccomend a movie/song/book to a character that you think the character would like or need and explain why.

A song i think a character would like is "The winner takes it all" by ABBA and i think that Piggy would like it. I say this because as the song goes it describes that at the end of the day its the winner that matters no matter how much effor the "losers" put in. Knowing how piggy is just as intellegent and insightful as Ralph or some of the older boys he still gets made fun of despite the only difference between them being his apperance. The song also shows how much of a cut-throat world it is and how if you're not good enough you'll just fail, and similarly Piggy is literally killed at the end when all he wanted was to be appreciated and respected for his ideas and rationality, trying so hard ro earn that respect.

1. a highlight for me is being able to learn more about human nature through this book, and learning about everyone's different views and understanding of the text.

2. trying to understand golding's language sometimes because the way he writes is not like how people write in the present.

3. one song that could be a possible soundtrack for the text is Everybody wants to rule the world by Tears for Fears. This is because the song talks about power and control, which is a theme in the novel, and the boys' desire for dominance also mirrors the lyrics as the song progresses

1. stating on a new novel I never knew existed

2. understanding the novel and identifying every literary device in every chapter

3. does the experience of the characters in the text remind you of any real life relationships among people you know?

in the novel, we evidently get to see how jack and Ralph's have different leading skills and how each of them prioritises different things. Like how Raplph prioritises the fire and shelters while Jack prioritises hunting. I see this very often in real life, where everyone has their own way of leading a group.

1. A highlight for me is reading such a unique and meaningful novel such as Lord of the Flies. I feel that this novel is quite relevant to today's society, how one can turn from innocent to a savage over a span of time. I also think that this novel is overall a really fun and interesting read as it covers various thought provoking topics that makes you ponder about the human civilisation.

2. A challenge that I faced during this semester is trying to constantly improve and enhance my responses to the various question about the novel. Although the points are there for everyone to see, the way you respond could be the factor that separates you from a passing grade and a distinction grade.

3. "If you were a reporter, what tough questions would you ask the main character in the text?"

When you first realised that you were stranded on an island, did you envision a future of getting out or were you just trying to survive and live as long as nature allows you to?

1. Trying to deeply understand the book.

2. Sometimes, I cannot find the word to express the feelings.

3. Question: How did you feel as you read through the text?

I feel the story of the book is very interesting when I read it first time. The story is a group of boys tried to living in the island without adults, which is very attractive for me. When I read more about the book, the topic of the book is not just that, it is also about the civilisation versus savagery.

1. The highlight of the semester for me was poetry because I liked analysing the literary devices, especially imagery because it paints such a vivid picture for the readers.

2. A challenge I faced was recalling all that happened throughout the book during wa2 & time management

3. Pick a character. How has he or she changed since you first encountered him or her?

Jack because when he was first introduced in the book, he was just an arrogant choir leader that wanted to be chief but as the story progressed, he became more animalistic and bloodlust for the killings of pigs instead of actually leading the group of boys on the island.

1. To be honest, I really enjoyed Poetry in term one and hope we can return to it for our End-Of-Year exams. I really enjoyed understanding the stories behind the poems, they tend to have many meanings and are very deep, as long as you look out for them.

2. A challenge I faced was that sometimes words might be misinterpreted, especially when they are metaphors and I do not have a deep enough understanding of the phrase or word

3. 'Come up with three words or phrases to describe a scene or a character'

scene: forest

omminous

sense of unease

impending sense of doom

scene: meeting

sense of hierarchy

an air of importance

gathering

character: Piggy

rational

intelligent

social outcast

character: Simon

insightful

misunderstood

considerate/ thoughtful

1. My highlight for this year was being able to grow stronger not only in my ability to read between the lines and pick out certain themes, but also in my personal growth. The book has helped me to oversee my life in different perspectives, and even inspired me to change for the better. Additionally, I feel grateful that I'm able to strengthen my bond with my table partner as she too helps me improve in different aspects.

2. A challenge I faced as a literature was most definitely time management. I often felt unmotivated to read and get into the book, even though I knew it was necessary. Nonetheless, I powered through and did the best with what I could do.

3. What would you do differently if you were a character in the text? - If I were Ralph, I'd be more open-minded towards different suggestions and lower my pride when speaking to Piggy. Piggy was highly intelligent and rational, and with his help, civilisation would be closer within arms reach.

1) A highlight for me as a Literature student was discovering how stories and poems can reflect real emotions and help me see the world from a different perspective.

2) For me, I face difficulties such as choosing the correct evidence to elaborate on and expanding my PEEL

3) Think of a character you can give advice to. What would you say and why?

I would give advice to Jack. I would advise him to be a more compassionate person towards others especially Piggy and not always to think about hunting and eating. He should be a better leader and stop leading other out of fear.

1. reading the book and discussing about it

2. understanding some parts of the novel

3. describe the different types of conflicts that take place in the text

Civilisation Vs Savagery

Ralph represents order and civilization while Jack represents savagery and the desire for power. When jack lets the fire out in chapter 4, it causes ralph and jack to have a conflict as their priorities are different. Jack cares about hunting while Ralph cares about maintaining order and civilisation on the island

1. A highlight for me this past semester as an elect lit student is the fact that while reading these texts in class, I’ve gotten a deeper understanding of the novel and learnt alot from just the first 5 chapters so far. It has expanded my knowledge of reading and truly understanding what every word of phrase and the meaning or intention of it that shaped the story into how it is. This has been a highlight as it makes reading whether it is poetry or the book an exquisite experience and opens my eyes more to literature.

2. A challenge I’ve faced as an elect lit student is sometimes not truly understanding the meaning behind that part of the text and being confused or not being able to express my thought on pen and paper or form the sentences I want to express in my writing.

3. Question: What would be the effect if the text was written from a different POV

Answer: I think the whole text would then have a different meaning and present an entirely different story or scene compared to the original one.

1) Sharing group opinions to each other

2) A challenge I faced was trying to stay focussed when reading the book. I had a hard time understanding some parts which made me lose focus very fast. I was not very interested in the novel.

3. Find a partner and talk about a moment in the text that you both can relate to.

One part of the novel we can relate to is the moments where Piggy felt left out. We related to this as throughout our life experiences, we have had many experiences where we don't feel seen or heard, like our opinions do not matter.

1) discussing the novel with my friends

2) Writing the PEEl paragraph

3) What is interesting about the way the writer has written the text?

The writer described the surroundings very well and used many phrases and comparisons to describe the environment. The writer also described the characters very well that allowed me to visualize the characters and scenarios easily.

1) being able to think like the boys on the island and experience first-hand what it was like for them to have lived their lives on the island without adults in charge (in the dance studio) because it made me understand the thought process of the boys more and their emotional distresses

2) not reading into the meaning of certain words and interpreting the text wrongly which costed me lots or marks during WA (sometimes because the words used aren't familiar to me, as someone who doesn't read often/as a Singaporean)

3) come up with an alternative title for the text. (The savage within us)
