(Golding 202)]]> 2017-10-26 17:45:15 UTC https://padlet.com/hun07217/LordofTheFlies/wish/200950711 hun07217 https://padlet.com/hun07217/LordofTheFlies/wish/200950880   This quote is important to the book in many ways. This quote is significant in the book and in many of our lives. Ralph was to busy to release the emotions he was feeling because he was helping organize the other kids and also getting chased by them. When he finally took a moment to think about everything that had happened to him and his friends, Simon and Piggy dying, the twins getting tied up, his close encounter with death, he let go and began to cry. In my life, and many others, this teaches me that holding in emotion is hard, and no matter how long you keep that emotion inside you, it will find a way out. ]]> 2017-10-26 17:45:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hun07217/LordofTheFlies/wish/200950880 hun07217 https://padlet.com/hun07217/LordofTheFlies/wish/200951565 A fantasy is a singular- and singularly believable spellbinder, and within the  framework of  its premises- achieves a tremendous impetus and impact. During an atomic war, a group of  boys aged from about six to twelve crash-land on an uninhabited tropical island. There Ralph, a responsible boy, is chosen chief- and a certain routine established; a fire is made and to be kept going as a signal, huts are to be built, and certain of the  boys are to hunt wild pig. But as the  days pass in increasing discomfort, there is increasing dissension between them; the  "littluns" are frightened by the  untold terrors of the  dark, and the  fear of  breasties and bogeys spreads; the  duties are neglected; and the  older boys, save Simon and Piggy and Samneric (twins) desert Ralph, appoint a new leader, and run amok hunting savagely. In their primitive regression, they feel they must propitiate the  beast and a ritualistic dance precedes the  murder of  Simon; Piggy, his specs taken, falls to his death; and finally Ralph is left to face the  pack when a cruiser lands- to rescue them all.... A first novel, originally conceived and convincingly sustained, this should find an audience as vulnerable as its young derelicts. The  publishers parallel this- not without justification- with Richard Hughes' High Wind In Jamaica. (Kirkus Reviews, June 15, 1955)

He explains the setting and the general plot of the novel. I think he could have voiced his opinion more as well as include other important parts of the story. He forgot to talk about when Simon had his "interaction" with the Lord of The Flies. I also think he did a good job of not spoiling the ending of the book, which tends to ruin it for others. Overall, Kirkus Reviews gave a good book review but could have voiced his opinion more.]]> 2017-10-26 17:46:54 UTC https://padlet.com/hun07217/LordofTheFlies/wish/200951873 hun07217 https://padlet.com/hun07217/LordofTheFlies/wish/200952385 2017-10-26 17:47:46 UTC https://padlet.com/hun07217/LordofTheFlies/wish/200952385 hun07217 https://padlet.com/hun07217/LordofTheFlies/wish/200952679   This image is important to the book because of the significant role it had in the plot. These are Piggy's glasses, the only way the kids on the island could make fire, a crucial part in survival. If these glasses weren't in the book, the story would be completely different. The kids wouldn't have fire and would die, or Piggy wouldn't die because Jack stole them. Not to mention that they wouldn't get rescued with fire. ]]> 2017-10-26 17:48:12 UTC https://padlet.com/hun07217/LordofTheFlies/wish/200952679 hun07217 https://padlet.com/hun07217/LordofTheFlies/wish/200953099                Imagery]]> 2017-10-26 17:48:53 UTC https://padlet.com/hun07217/LordofTheFlies/wish/200953099 hun07217 https://padlet.com/hun07217/LordofTheFlies/wish/200953444      William Golding did a great job of using imagery in Lord Of The Flies. I think he used it at the right spots and the right moments, not making it too\][ overwhelming. "Evening was advancing the toward the island; the sounds of the bright fantastic birds, the bee-sounds, even the crying of gulls that were fainter. The deep sea breaking miles away on the reef made an undertone less perceptible than the suppuration of the blood."(Golding 57) Golding uses great imagery in this quote, it makes you feel as if you are seeing and hearing what is there rather than reading it. You can hear the gulls in the distance, and see the sun lower under the ocean.]]> 2017-10-26 17:49:32 UTC https://padlet.com/hun07217/LordofTheFlies/wish/200953444 hun07217 https://padlet.com/hun07217/LordofTheFlies/wish/200953766 2017-10-26 17:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/hun07217/LordofTheFlies/wish/200953766 hun07217 https://padlet.com/hun07217/LordofTheFlies/wish/200954088        This image is important to the book because this is the item that was used to call everyone on the island. When Ralph first saw it he knew that he could do something with it, so he blew into it, calling the other boys on the island. Had Ralph not found this item the boys would've met later, maybe not at all. Throughout the book, the kids could only talk if they were holding the conch so that everyone wasn't talking at once. When Jack and the others left the group,, Piggy always thought they were going to steal the conch, and that the conch could control them, even though it lead to his death. ]]> 2017-10-26 17:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/hun07217/LordofTheFlies/wish/200954088 hun07217 https://padlet.com/hun07217/LordofTheFlies/wish/200965727 2017-10-26 18:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/hun07217/LordofTheFlies/wish/200965727
