Do you think there is a beast on the island?
I think the beastie is Jack and his goons sneaking around at night.
2) Why do you agree or disagree that there is a beast on the island?
They already caught Simon lingering at night going to "some place in the jungle".
3) If you were one of the boys on the island, what would you do to defeat the beast OR what would you do to convince the others that there is not a beast?
I would imprison the beastie or beasties if they were up to something bad.]]> 2018-02-19 20:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/richacar/if4vuyorlm8e/wish/233056033 richacar https://padlet.com/richacar/if4vuyorlm8e/wish/233056034 4) In this chapter, there is the "imagined beast" that the boys think is on the island and there is the "actual beast" that the boys are unaware of. Which one of these will you focus on for this assignment?
The actual beast
5) Provide a quote related to the beast (make sure to include quotation marks, author's last name, and page #).
"There were eyes, teeth, claws" Golding 100
6) Provide a second quote related to the beast (make sure to include quotation marks, author's last name, and page #).
"The beast followed us"
Golding 100
7) Provide a third quote related to the beast (make sure to include quotation marks, author's last name, and page #).
"You can't have an ordinary hunt because the beast doesn't leave tracks" Golding 101
8) Why is it important that either beast is described to the reader through the narration or the boys' dialogue?
So you see the beast as they describe it rather than what it actually is.]]> 2018-02-19 20:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/richacar/if4vuyorlm8e/wish/233056034 richacar https://padlet.com/richacar/if4vuyorlm8e/wish/233056035 9) Explain, in complete sentences, why do you think your version of the beast is included in the story?
I believe the "real beast" is in the story to show how the kids look at and handle problems like "the beast".]]> 2018-02-19 20:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/richacar/if4vuyorlm8e/wish/233056035 richacar https://padlet.com/richacar/if4vuyorlm8e/wish/233056036 2018-02-19 20:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/richacar/if4vuyorlm8e/wish/233056036 richacar https://padlet.com/richacar/if4vuyorlm8e/wish/233056037 2018-02-19 20:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/richacar/if4vuyorlm8e/wish/233056037 richacar https://padlet.com/richacar/if4vuyorlm8e/wish/233056038 1) When you read your last choice book for this class, what was an element that repeated over and over again?
A motif in my choice book was my character constantly defying his society's rules because he wouldn't be oppressed from his freedom.
2) Why do you think that element was repeated over and over in the book?
To help form  one of the themes of the book of humans always breaking from their chains and becoming free.]]> 2018-02-19 20:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/richacar/if4vuyorlm8e/wish/233056038 richacar https://padlet.com/richacar/if4vuyorlm8e/wish/233056039 3) Pick one of these ideas to focus on for this assignment: order, fear, or chaos.
Order
4) For the idea that you picked in #3, state an object/character from the chapter that represents that idea (i.e. this is your motif).
The Conch
5) Write a quote from the book that relates to your motif (make sure to include quotation marks, author's last name, and page #).
"Exposure to the air had bleached the yellow and pink to near white."
Golding 78
The "power" of the conch is fading
6) Write a second quote from the book that relates to your motif (make sure to include quotation marks, author's last name, and page #).
"Hands were reaching for the conch in the light of the setting sun" Golding 81
This shows other members fighting for power
7) Write a third quote from the book that relates to your motif (make sure to include quotation marks, author's last name, and page #)
"Jack stood up, scowling in the gloom, and held out his hands. 
"I haven't finished yet"
"But you've talked and talked"
"I've got the conch"
"Jack sat down grumbling"
Jack defies the power of the conch but still follows it in the end. I predict him to keep rebelling more and more.]]> 2018-02-19 20:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/richacar/if4vuyorlm8e/wish/233056039 richacar https://padlet.com/richacar/if4vuyorlm8e/wish/233056040 8) Which character is most effected by your chosen motif?
Ralph. The object that gives him power and their "colony" order is the conch but its "power" is fading and with it so is his.
9) Why is your motif important to the chapter (besides how it relates to a character)?
The conch is important to Ralph because he's Chief and the conch is like his crown.]]> 2018-02-19 20:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/richacar/if4vuyorlm8e/wish/233056040 richacar https://padlet.com/richacar/if4vuyorlm8e/wish/233056041 1) Please read the book completely and without skipping parts
2) Do your OWN work--stop relying on each other for answers or Googling them instead of thinking for yourself (you know who you are)
3) If I provide links to resources, please use them
4) Ask specific questions about the book right away if you have any
5) Use your class time wisely, so put away any distractions and focus on your book and this Padlet for the week
