Given that you just read the preface to the new translation of the novel, Do you think translating Wiesel's novel, Night may have changed his intended meaning of the text?  Why or Why not?

Also, take a look at the above image and think about the term trauma.  What does it mean?  Do you think that the events in the text are going to occur exactly as they would have happened in Elie's childhood?  Why or why not?

Turn to your partner and discuss. 

Where have we seen the motif of fire so far?  Keep note of it as we continue to read. 

A motif is a recurrent symbol or image within a text.

Our ship's passengers amused themselves by throwing coins to the 'natives,' who dove to retrieve them. An elegant Parisian lady took great pleasure in this game. When I noticed two children desperately fighting in the water, one trying to strangle the other, I implored the lady: 

'Please, don't throw any more coins!' 

'Why not?" said she. "I like to give charity...'" (Wiesel 7, 27-29).  

Elie Wiesel breaks the narrative here in Section 7.

You will be explaining this to the class.  

1. The boys discover there are no adults on the island and attempt to model the civilization as they know it by electing a chief. How effective do you think this effort will be without adult supervision?

2.  Consider the cause of the conflict between Ralph and Jack. What does Ralph’s effort to appease Jack tell you about his basic character? Is it likely that Jack will be content to play second fiddle to Ralph? Why or why not?

Keep in mind characterization and archetype

3. What does Ralph’s revelation about Piggy’s name suggest to you about the basic nature of young people? Are they intentionally cruel to one another or just inconsiderate?  Explain.

Think back to when you were in Middle School... 

4. Why do you think the boys chose Ralph as their leader?  Why wouldn't they have chose someone else?

THE CONCH! What does it symbolize?? We will get to this later...

1.  Consider Ralph’s announcement of the group’s two priorities. Are these the two priorities you would choose? What other things do you think the group might
need to concern themselves with?
2. One of the young boys expresses his fear of a beastie, while the others claim there is no such thing. What does this incident suggest about people and their fears in general? What things might we fear even when we are not faced with the dramatic situation these boys face? Why?
3.  What does Jack's behavior in this chapter suggest about him (e.g. his attitude toward killing pigs and hunting the beast, his excitement about the rules and the consequences of violating them, his treatment of Piggy etc.)? In what way(s) might the behavior of the boys during the meeting foreshadow later events? (line 100).
4.  What do you think Piggy's glasses might represent? Consider their normal function, the use they are put to in this chapter, Piggy's intelligence, and Piggy's helplessness without them.
5.  What hypocritical irony is there in the boys treatment of Piggy in contrast with their treatment of Ralph and Jack? What does this fact suggest about human nature?
6.  What is ironic about consequences of the boy's decision to light a fire? In light of these consequences, what do you think it and the “drum-roll” represent?
7.  Piggy thinks that the first thing the group should have done was build shelters on the beach. Is this a valid point? Why or why not?
8.  What do the events of these first two chapters reveal about the major themes of the novel?]]> 2022-04-20 11:32:25 UTC https://padlet.com/elove31/edvgv76ftksrmhu2/wish/2150169810 Monday April 25th Discussion elove31 https://padlet.com/elove31/edvgv76ftksrmhu2/wish/2152264870 Chapter 3: Huts on the Beach

1. How are the all of the boys except Ralph and Simon (and Jack) behaving? What is Golding telling us about human nature? What important qualities do Ralph, Simon, and Piggy have that the other boys seem to lack?

2. What is making it difficult for Ralph and Jack to communicate and get along? Where do you think
their differences will lead?

3. Why do you think Jack and the littluns (and others, probably) have fears about a “beastie,” but Ralph, Simon, and Piggy don‟t? What theme does this suggest?

4. What does this chapter reveal about Simon's personality, and what importance do you think this will have later in the novel? (How do you think the other boys will react to Simon?)

Chapter 4: Painted Faces and Long Hair

5. Describe the behavior of the boys at the beginning of the chapter. What thematic significance does
this scene have?

6. Why does Maurice walk away when Percival starts crying, and why doesn't Roger throw the stones directly at Henry?What does their behavior suggest about human nature?

7. Why do the hunters decide to “paint” themselves with clay and charcoal? What effect does doing this have on their behavior, and why? Does this “makeup” have any symbolic meaning?

8. How do the hunters behave in response to the success of the hunt, and what is the significance of this behavior?

9. How does Ralph “assert his chieftainship” after the argument with the hunters? Why do you think this gesture is so effective?

 10. What do you think will result from the open conflict between Jack and Ralph and from Jack's success at getting meat? What is the significance of the boys' reaction to being able to eat meat, and how does this compare to their reaction about having missed a chance to be rescued?

11. Discuss the thematic significance of the title of the chapter

"Simon thought of the beast, there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick" (6, 146).  

"Ralph was dreaming. He had fallen asleep after what seemed hours of tossing and turning noisily among the dry leaves. Even the sounds of nightmare from the other shelters no longer reached him, for he was back to where he came from, feeding the ponies with sugar over the garden wall. Then someone was shaking his arm, telling him that it was time for tea" (6,47).  

"Hasn't anyone got any sense? We've got to relight that fire. You never thought of that, Jack, did you? Or don't any of you want to be rescued?" (6, 135).
