In this quote the author is using Imagery describe how piggy is feeling; Scared and hopeful

“The breezes that on the lagoon had chased their tails like kittens were finding their way across the platform and into the forest.” In this quote the author is using a Simile to describe the environment of the lagoon more specifically the breezes. Imagery is also used

He glanced at Ralph, who blurted out the last confession of incompetence: Inability to do something successfully

"This is our island. It's a good island. Until the grownups come to fetch us we'll have fun."

This quote briefly sums the first chapter in one sentence. They boys got lost on the island and there are no parents and until they get rescue then they will have fun. Although soon order is established and Ralph is selected as leader

"Tell us about the snake-thing." "Now he says it was a beastie." "Beastie?'' "A snake-thing. Ever so big. He saw it."

The beastie is a metaphor as the beast does not exist but it exists within each boy. The form of the snake also shows fear as snakes are a common fear. The beastie also represents the Demons within person and brings out their animal like nature.

Chapter 5

77-84

Again he fell into that strange mood of speculation that was so foreign to him. : the forming of a theory or conjecture without firm evidence.

Tonight, except for Samneric up by the fire: civilized and socialized persons

Ralph laid the conch on the trunk beside him Ceremonially, as a sign that the speech was over:  action that is actually part of a ceremony

Anyway, you don't hunt or build or help--you're a lot of cry-babies and sissies.

This quote describes that many of the boys are not helping with the hut and Ralph is quite angry about that. Ralph is feeling quite angry that he is not supported and that the boys are not listening. he is suggesting that the boys are not mature enough to pritorize survival.

"I've got the conch. I'm not talking about the fear. I'm talking about the beast. Be frightened if you like.

Jack is in power because he has the conch; which is a symbol of power.  He is also encouraging the boys not to be frightened of the beastie. Using the symbol of power to his advantage.

He took off his glasses and blinked at them. The sun had gone as if the light had been turned off. This is a metaphor that the author is using to describe the sun.

The sun in his eyes reminded him how time was passing, so he took the conch down from the tree and examined the surface. Exposure to the air had bleached the yellow and pink to near-white, and transparency

The author is using imagery to describe the scene of what is happening.

Even though Jack points out why Ralph is a bad leader none of the boys is willing to kick Ralph out as chief. Why may they have done this?

What is you reaction to Simon's encounter with the Lord of the Flies. Do you think that Simon is over reacting because of the heat?

keep in mind that Simon about eleven or twelve is he just intimidated?

Over the island the build-up of clouds continued. A steady current of heated air rose all day from the mountain and was thrust to ten thousand feet; revolving masses of gas piled up the static until the air was ready to explode.: Imagery

on rock, under a brassy sky: simile

With the running of the blood Simon's fit passed into the weariness of sleep. He lay in the mat of creepers while the evening advanced and the cannon continued to play

The creepers in lord of the flies are actually vines that grow all over the island, which symbolize evil. Such as when the pig is found entangled in creepers, it symbolizes how the boys will also become entangled in evil as they lose civility.

down to the seated boys and pointed at them with the spear. "Who's going to join my tribe?" Ralph made a sudden movement that became a stumble. Some of the boys turned toward him. "I gave you food," said Jack, "and my hunters will protect you from the beast. Who will join my tribe?"

Jack is providing solution to the problem he created( the beastie) allowing people to following and look to hime for advice; treat him as a leader. This is common in the real world (dictator).

A buffet of wind made him stagger and he saw that he was out in the open: walk or move unsteadily, as if about to fall.

wave of restlessness set the boys swaying and moving aimlessly: the inability to rest or relax as a result of anxiety or boredom.

Between the flashes of lightning the air was dark and terrible; and the boys followed him, clamorously: marked by confused din or outcry

He nodded, and Samneric sat down on the right. Ralph pushed the conch into Piggy's hands. He held the shining thing carefully and blinked at Ralph. "Go on, then." "I just take the conch to say this.

The Ralph has to convince piggy to use the conch from the quote “Go on then” suggests that piggy does not feel worthy to use the conch and ralph is almost forcing him into it.

Someone was moaning outside and a babble of voices rose. A fierce argument was going on and the wounded savage kept groaning. Then when there was silence, a single voice spoke and Ralph decided that it was not Jack's. "See? I told you--he's dangerous." The wounded savage moaned again.

The narrator now refers to the boys as savages rather the actual humans as that is what they have become. The boys have lost common sense and civility has been lost-

the sense of danger, making a simpleton of him:  a foolish or gullible person.

a somber noise across which the ululations were scribbled excruciatingly as on slate: high-pitched vocal sound resembling a howl with a trilling quality, Extremely painful in this case high pitched,

and the roots screamed as they came out of the earth together. (metaphor)

Smoke was seeping through the branches in white and yellow wisps, the patch of blue sky overhead turned to the colour of a storm cloud, and then the smoke billowed round him.

The author is using imagery to engage the reader and describe the sky

(Ralph sitting on a log, hair is disheveled, streaks of skin peeking out from his dirt covered face, where his tears ran down. He is barely wearing his shorts, it is soaked in sweat and whatever else that’s accumulated. He keeps himself busy and distracted trying to clean the grime from under his fingernails. On the beach the sun is setting, the tide begins to rise. He tries not to think about the ship that was out there.)

I don’t even understand how it happened, why do things fall apart like they do? What the bloody hell is wrong with these people.

Why can’t they just follow the rules...Is it my fault? Am I not fit to be leader? Or is it just human nature…maybe rules don’t apply anymore when you're in the wild.

(He furrows his eyebrows, looking frustrated and irritated)

No… you know what, stop... I should stop doubting myself. I’m right we need rules...but what’s the point of rules if no one follows them. Sure they agree but nothing ever happens, nothing gets done, they start working for like 5 minutes and they run off to do their own thing.

They are the followers

I am the leader

they’re suppose to follow

and I’m supposed to lead, that's how it’s supposed to work…Although, nothing works like it used to anymore.

(He up a stick and starts drawing patterns in the sand)

Oh...and I can’t forget about Jack. Does he just wanna stay here for the rest of his miserable life, ‘ya let's go hunting’ *pshh* what’s that gonna do when a ship arrives...huh? You gonna make a sign out of the carcass…

(He starts mocking Jack which soon turns into hatred and anger. )

If it wasn’t for him I’d be on my way home by now.

(his eyes begin to water, he quickly wipes it away. For fear the other boys might see. He closes his eyes)

Jack, with his clan of mindless idiots... doing whatever he says. Wherever he goes trouble follows. The boys follow him like a pack of animals obsessed with getting meat, meat, meat, meat, but what good have they done, huh? That whole lot is trouble. If they had just done what I told them.

(Shakes head, pitying himself)

It was one simple task.

Keep the fire going.

Just one bloody task, and they couldn’t even listen.

I guess I had it coming… none of the others follow the rules or even remotely listen to what I say. All they do is talk about that bloody beast. And..and why is Jack endorsing this, he just makes the littluns scared and what good does that do. Promising to kill the beast… hunting something that's not even real. Sometimes I wonder if he wants to go back at all…

(shakes head in doubt)

No of course he wants to go back. Why wouldn’t he. Who in their right mind would choose to stay in this hellhole.

(Ralph lets out a deep and heavy sigh)

Damn one task..

That’s all I asked…

One task…

Keep the fire going.

(Ralph hurls the stick towards the ocean, watching it wash away with the tide)

I’ve had enough. It’s time for Jack to know his place.. He can’t keep challenging me, the boys wanted me to lead, not him. So to bad! It doesn’t matter what he wants now. It’s already been decided. I… I’ve got to put a stop to his madness before he stops me.

Yes...

Stop him.

End him.

(Ralph starts shaking his head, runs hands through his hair)

No…

What am I doing?

I can’t think like that.

No, I’m the better man… why am I even considering murder an option

Have I gone mad?

What’s wrong with me…

Father, you would be so disappointed in me, if you saw what I was thinking of doing just now.

(Shakes head in embarrassment and disappointment in himself)

If only you were here, you’d know what to do. Surely, you would be able to control this wild lot. I remember how you scolded me when I shoved Thomas at school. As I watched him fall, I could feel the fear but not because of how he might get hurt, but of what might happen… to me.

To be completely honest my only regret was getting caught. I was afraid not because I cared for him, but because I was afraid of getting punished. The only reason why I abided by the rules was because there were consequences and you taught me to have morals and ethics, but does that apply here. Do the boys still need ethics in a place like this. Jack certainly doesn’t think so, but I disagree if we lose our ethics, our morals, our rules are we any better than the pigs on this island?

(looks longingly towards the ocean)

God, I remember when we first got here… how naive we were.

How innocent I was…

How clueless…

What’s become of us...

Hell… what’s become of me…

Script:
(Ralph wearing a loose not fitted shirt that is all ripped along the front, sides and the back with shorts and slippers. Getting up from laying down next to a tree)

After the latest meeting with the gang I wasn’t able to calm down or sleep for the longest while, I have been in deep thoughts about who is going to be elected as the leader and if I was hopefully elected how to be a leader that the group would willingly follow.

(Thinks in his head how he feels about other people being the leader)

I understand that Jack wants to be the leader but he doesn’t have any politeness and boundaries in some areas and is very aggressive in some times.

Also Piggy wants to be the leader I mean he is very intelligent but on the other hand he isn’t really good at making others listen to him because of his body build and his health problems.

Today is the election i’m on the way to the meeting right now, so I’m thinking who should I vote for, what should I do?

I think having a democracy is one of the most important factors and there would have to be a requirements of rules for everyone to follow but how would we even set up the rules? How would we make people follow them?

(Putting his hand up against his face, so stress about being the leader and what he is going to do next)

Oh gosh I was elected to be the leader, how did this happen, what should I do?

how can I be a good leader to all of them, they're all counting on me, if I make any mistakes all of them will know and they might all hate me?

I just want to be a good leader until someone comes and rescues us.

Today piggy just gave me a conch he told me that it symbolizes civilization and order. He taught me that having the conch shell in my hand could help me stand out as a leader, but that would definitely not make me a better leader, how the hell would a conch shell help me be a good leader??

I need a plan. (Thinking quietly to himself)

I think someone would need to set up a fire and someone would have to watch the fire at all times so someone from the ocean might notice us eventually and come to rescue us.

It’s almost dinner time and the gang will need to start hunting food for everyone, I think I should go with them to supervise.

I’m walking in the woods with the gang right now.

I saw something, something running around in the bushes over there, I couldn’t tell what it was so I walked closer and closer

I scream guys come here we have food for today, that pig!!

I ran and grab the pig by his back and killed him

(Laughing at how he is proud of himself getting someone, even when it's his first time hunting and thinking that maybe he will be a good leader. Since this is just the first task and he got it done so easily)

My first time hunting and I got something from it, honestly i’m kind of proud of myself

I guess I could be a good leader to the gang.

(Sitting down next to the fire on a log)

We went back to settle down with the gang

Then i had sometime alone and I thought to myself

Isn’t it wrong to kill that pig or any pig, or any animal?

Why did I do it?

I shouldn’t have done it?

It’s not the right thing to do isn’t it?

But then we won’t have anything to eat?

What have I done, what should I do next, do I have to kill so many more animals to survive and to be a good leader to the gang

Am I turning to a beast now? Would I kill someone next?

Jack: Wearing a tattered shirt and has a stick in background

Stuck here on this bloody! island for who knows how long. Every day, hour minute as miserable as the last!

Plus it doesn't help that everyone practically hates me! They don’t understand I’m just trying to help!

I feel like I’m the only one thinking long term. We can’t survive off of just fruits we need meat!

They think I’m an outcast, that I’m selfish and I just care about myself!  but all I want to do is survive!

[Grabs hair in frustration and kicks a rock angrily]

Ralph is absolutely gobsmacked with the fire it’s all he ever cares about. He thinks that it’s our best chance to escape but he doesn’t understand that. Were all going to DIE OUT BEFORE ANY BLOODY SHIP COMES!

[Jack sits down on a rock and starts fiddling with a small rock]

He doesn’t understand that we have to survive. Survival should be our first priority, not the bloody fire!

Sometimes I wish he would just go bugger off! Maybe mind his own business for once!, and not monitor every bloody thing I do!

[Jack throws the rock he is fiddling with out of frustration]

[Jack speaks in a light reflective voice]

It not all bad though at least we got some meat

Heck, I remember it crystal clear.

It had been hours of build-up, tracking the pigs every step, slowly leading it into a trap, right where wanted it.

[Jack pauses dramatically]

BAM! I struck it with my knife and grabbed its dead corpse in my hand filled with joy and satisfaction! I raised the corpse over my head

[Jack yells: WE WILL EAT WELL TONIGHT BOYS!]

I feel like that was the only good thing that has happened on this island.

[Jack goes quiet as he is vulnerable]

I know I can be intimidating sometimes but all I want to do is survive. To thrive but Ralph does not understand that. He is the worst out of all of us to lead anyways!

[Jack strokes his chin like he is thinking deeply]

I know what I’m going to do!

[Jack stands up with his pointer finger pointed in the air excitedly as he has an idea]

I’m going to throw Ralph out of his position as chief! Yes, I’m brilliant aren’t I. Bloody brilliant!

The boys are already doubting his decisions and all I need is a little time and a solution to their problems. Soon they will bow down to me not that bloody idiot they call Ralph.

[Jack sighs deeply as he is in pain]

I remember when life wasn’t this complicated. When I was the top of my class prefect in the grade, leader of the boy's choir.

I remember my Cottage in southern Durham. The morning dew dripped off the flowers, the sunlight shimmered through the clouds. The birds chirped through the crisp morning.

[Jack sighs deeply]

Those were the days...

[Jacks poster takes a hit and he begins slouching as if he is in regret]

Then all this had to happen and now we're all stuck on this gutted Island!

“[Ralph is] like Piggy. He says things like Piggy.

[Ralph] was vexed to find how little he thought like a grownup and sighed again. The island was getting worse and worse. Raph is saying that everything is breaking down but blames it to the island as getting worse and worse, not the boys.

"I'm chief. We've got to make certain [that there is no beast]. Can't you see the mountain? There's no signal showing. There may be a ship out there. Are you all off your rockers?" (6.238) Ralph is learning that just saying “I’m chief doesn’t make any difference and they have to enforce a system and law of order more.

Simon, walking in front of Ralph, felt a flicker of incredulity—a beast with claws that scratched, that sat on a mountain-top, that left no tracks and yet was not fast enough to catch Samneric. However Simon thought of the beast, there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human, at once heroic and sick. (6.140) Simon may not be a brain like Piggy, but he's a smart guy; he knows that the beast is unbelievable. But that doesn't mean he's not afraid. Like we said, he's a smart guy; he knows that this whole situation is heading downhill fast.

Chapter 5 (85-95)

1. Finding and ANALYSING/INTERPRETING/EVALUATING 2 quotations (written) from the predetermined section of the novel (see slideshow)

"Maybe," he said hesitantly, "maybe there is a beast." The assembly cried out savagely and Ralph stood up in amazement. "You, Simon? You believe in this?" "I don't know," said Simon. His heartbeats were choking him. "But. . . ." The storm broke. "Sit down!" "Shut up!" "Take the conch!" "Sod you!" "Shut up!" Ralph shouted. "Hear him! He's got the conch!" "What I mean is . . . maybe it's only us." "Nuts!" That was from Piggy, shocked out of decorum. Simon went on. "We could be sort of. . . ." Simon became inarticulate in his effort to express mankind's essential illness.” (Pg. 89)

When Simon wants to express ‘mankind’s essential illness’ it is foreshadowing the murderous events to come, where their ‘true’ selves come out to play. This is hinting at how people all have the ability to become the beast, everyone has the potential to become evil. This is shown especially when Simon says "What I mean is . . . maybe it's only us." where is notion is completely shot down after but through this it reveals to the reader that maybe people are the beasts. Through Simon the author conveys the message that mankind has an illness which cannot be cured but can be subdued and repressed by a system of law and civilization which prevents our true selves from revealing themselves.

“The world, that understandable and lawful world, was slipping away.” (Pg. 91)

By using the word understandable implies that the author does not want to imply that the civilized world has all the answers, but at least there's a system of laws and rules where there are actions and consequences. This is again hinting at the message that the author is most likely trying to convey which is that rules and law keep humans from revealing or unlocking their true forms which is violent and cruel. All animals live based on survival and once civilization is gone and people can no longer afford those luxuries or have access to those benefits they go back to their once primitive selves, which is violent and corrupt.

1. Finding 3+ vocabulary words they didn’t understand/found interesting and writing out definition and how it was used in the novel.

Effigy: a sculpture or model of a person. (Pg. 87)

Gesticulating: use gestures, especially dramatic ones, instead of speaking or to emphasize one's words. (pg.89)

Tempestuously: characterized by strong and turbulent or conflicting emotions. (Pg. 91)

1. Finding at least 2 examples prominent literary devices (theme/symbol/motif/plot/style/language techniques.narrative techniques/structure etc.) from the predetermined section of the novel.  Students must reference where they found this and explain its significance.

This chapter discusses and hints at the symbol of the beast and on how people all have the potential to be the beast and how some people are the 'beast' it is just trapped by rules and civilizations. The mask that Jack wears of dirt and mud, it symbolizes the mask that all of us wear, it also symbolizes that once he puts on his mask his savage side comes out.

Student (non facilitator) expectations chapter 1:

1. Finding and ANALYSING/INTERPRETING/EVALUATING 2 quotations (written) from the predetermined section of the novel

“Within the diamond haze of the beach something dark was fumbling along… Then the creature stepped from the mirage on to clear sand, and they saw that the darkness was not all shadow but mostly clothing. (p.19) This quote is for the arrival of Jack Merridew and his militant choir is described as the arrival of a beast or a creature, this foreshadows his transformation from a choir leader to a pig hunter.

The ground beneath them was a bank covered with sparse grass, torn everywhere by the upheavals of fallen trees, scattered with decaying coconuts and palm saplings. Behind this was the darkness of the forest proper and the open space of the scar. (1.52) This quote makes the reading think that the boys are on the way to more disaster since the “darkness” and much more, they might not be scared yet but they are about to be scared.

1. Finding 3+ vocabulary words they didn’t understand/found interesting and writing out definition and how it was used in the novel.

Indingtanly: this vocabulary was used to portray that piggy said something in a angry but still polite way.

Reluctantly:  this vocabulary was used to portray that piggy smile in a unwilling or hesitant way.

Effulgence:  this vocabulary was used to portray that when the lagoon cover the eyes they were dazzled by it

“His ordinary voice sounded LIKE a whisper after the harsh note of the conch” This is a smile use in the novel to add suspenseful scene.

“Can’t catch my breath. I was the only one in school who had asthma. Which has a foreshadowing literary device used. To show that piggy is a weak person compare to others.

Additional comments:

Emily and Brando brig great discussion points and share their own opinions about the text. I am quite impressed with their deep level of analysis through my research questions. Beam has not contributed to the discussion at all and I hear her only say one good point.

The homework quality is great for Emily and beam but Brando's homework has some holes in it and he is missing some work.
