2017 Lord of the Flies Chapter 9 by Charlotte Wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9 A View to a Death en-us 2017-07-30 00:13:19 UTC 2026-01-01 09:19:20 UTC hello@padlet.com charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/179692099 2017-07-30 00:23:14 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/179692099 Jack's Leadership https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181011540 * Jack is now predominantly the one in control of everything acting like a dictator. His leadership has turned the tribe into chaos / savagery where they  start a tribal and chaotic dance 
* LOTF is written after WWII and we can see the similarity in the type of dictatorial leadership between Hitler and Jack showing the context of when the book was written through both of their cruel and unmerciful rule ]]> 2017-08-15 01:24:23 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181011540 Ralph's Leadership https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181012840 * In chapter 9 we can see Ralph's leadership deteriorating and and he's losing respect and authority due to Jack's irrational behaviour and taking control over the boys and the island
* Piggy is the only one remaining loyal to Ralph, everyone else has joined the other tribe ]]> 2017-08-15 01:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181012840 Pathetic Fallacy https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181013390 Pathetic fallacy is where the weather reflects a character's mood. This is relevant to the chapter because during their tribal dance where they're killing Simon, a storm is also happening, so the weather is reflecting the character's savage, tribal mood. "kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!" The blue-white scar was constant, the noise endurable.' pathetic fallacy is also used at the end of the chapter where the weather eventually dies down-as does Simon and how it reflects the scene of someone dying. 'Towards midnight the rain ceased and the clouds drifted away...then the breeze died too..'

* Simon is an allegory symbolism of morality and innocence so when he dies, this signifies the end of morality- the last bit of good and innocence has dissipated. 
* Simon is also seen as a Christ-like figure, representing morality whilst trying to deliver his message to the boys but when he dies, he replicates Christ's sacrificial death as the one last bit of 'perfect innocence' that is killed. ]]> 2017-08-15 01:40:53 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181013528 Golding's plot device technique https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181014238 * Simon discovers the parachutist isn't a beast which is a new revelation to the plot however, Golding removes this from the plot and removes this revelation when Simon frees the body from the parachute, 'Then he took the lines in his hands; he freed them from the rocks and the figure from the wind's indignity.' 
* By doing this, the other boys will never find out about this revelation and how the Beast was never on the mountain but inside them so they will never find out that the Beast is actually inside them ]]> 2017-08-15 01:47:35 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181014238 "painted and garlanded ... like an idol." (description of Jack) charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181014457 By likening Jack to an idol, Golding is able to effectively depict to the reader how Jack's power is gaining and how it is based on the tribalism and loss of civilised ideals of the boys. ]]> 2017-08-15 01:49:33 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181014457 Jack orders the boys to dance with Roger miming the pig and with the chant "Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!" As the storm gathers intensity Roger joins the hunters leaving the centre of the dance empty and "a thing" crawls out of the forest and into the empty space. The thing, a beast to the bys, tries to cry out something about a dead man on a hill, but the boys in their crazed state attack Simon and leave him dead at the edge of the sea. charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181014562 2017-08-15 01:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181014562 "The air was ready to explode" (p179) - Golding uses the weather as a way of expressing the current situation with the schoolboys on the island. The use of metaphor and pathetic fallacy referring to the explosion of the air prompts the reader to think of violence exploding on the island and the sense of unease and unhappiness that Piggy and Ralph are experiencing. charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181014864 2017-08-15 01:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181014864 Jack Persuade the Boys https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181377618 Jack has control over his whole   'tribe' and is leading them with a dictator sort of leadership. this leads to the boys being afraid to say something and not wanting to mess with Jack as he is the one bringing in the food for them to eat. So he uses what he contributes to the group to persuade the boys to join his tribe and to follow his leadership. ]]> 2017-08-17 04:47:45 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181377618 https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181378011 2017-08-17 04:52:27 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181378011 "Stop it" He shouted, "D'you hear?"

I wish the air was cooler." charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181378136 The short sharp snippets of dialogue make the scene seem tense and uneasy. This compounded by Piggy's headache shows how the island is becoming an uncomfortable place to be. ]]> 2017-08-17 04:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181378136 https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181378180 2017-08-17 04:53:59 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181378180 https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181378698 2017-08-17 04:58:18 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181378698 Simon's Death stewartc191 https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181378865 Simon is brutally killed by Jack and his tribe when they mistook him for the beast. Simon's nose had been bleeding and he was covered in blood when he stumbled upon the tribe doing their savage dance. They pretended Simon was the beast, due to his bloody appearance, but got to carried away. When he tried to fight back, Golding referred to his weak attempts as "the tearing of teeth and claws", suggesting his appearance as the beast. When her was finally killed his body was described as being a "small beast, stained in blood" reiterating back to his mild, "small" appearance being portrayed as the beast. ]]> 2017-08-17 04:59:42 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181378865 "They were glad to touch the brown backs of the fence that hemmed in the terror and made it governable" 9p187) charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181378880 This describes the need of even Ralph and Piggy to find some kind of order and society in Jack's tribe, even if it is evil or misguided. Golding uses personification to describe the terror of the boys. ]]> 2017-08-17 04:59:48 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181378880 "Kill the beast! Cut his throad! Spill his blood!" charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181379179 The words of the chant serve a double purpose. Firstly, they foreshadow the murder of Simon and how the dance and worship of the beast will lead to horrible things. Secondly, the boys' love of blood and violence is an outlet for the evil and tribalism coming over the island. The chant is a symbol of a loss of civilised order and a loss of innocence.]]> 2017-08-17 05:02:57 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181379179 The beast symbolises irrational fear of the unknown and unfamiliar. charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181379355 2017-08-17 05:05:08 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181379355 Inferences from the effects of being part of a group. stewartc191 https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181379392 This chapter reveals the extreme consequences of having many strong personality clashes within a group. Simon, who claims that the beast is actually a dead parachutist was savagely killed by Jack and his tribe, who want to believe that there is a beast so they can hunt it down. Chapter nine explores how the effects of being in a group with strong opinions and clashing personalities, can result in great divisions among the group. But, it also means that they are just following each other as they turn into beasts, many act like sheep and succumb to the pressure of savagery. ]]> 2017-08-17 05:05:36 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181379392 Light and Dark Imagery https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181379540 The light and dark represents the good in Simon, the dark of the hunters and all of the dark is represented by the the weather and the rain and the storm represents the death of the one last good one of them left. ]]> 2017-08-17 05:07:36 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181379540 Golding develops the characterisation of Simon as a Christ-like figure. He is determined to reach the top of the mountain, where the truth lies - both literally and metaphorically. charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181778411 The new of 'a body on the hill' provides a clear piece of Christian imagery. Simon can be viewed as a prophet and a visionary, with a parallel between the parachutist on the mountain and Christ crucified on the hill at Calvery.]]> 2017-08-20 22:46:44 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181778411 "The beast was on its knees in the centre, its arms folded over its face." charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181778560 Distance is created between the reader and Simon at this point, just as the boys are unable to see him as human at that moment.]]> 2017-08-20 22:50:00 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/181778560 https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/386274046 2019-09-18 22:30:39 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/386274046 china https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/dkigiqm832a9/wish/502683545

The island was untouched but was then destroyed when the boys came. 

The island isn’t all nice, because when the boys arrive, Piggy and Ralph get scratched by ‘creepers’.

The island was contextually described as the Garden of Eden.
