black cap. His face was crumpled and freckled, and ugly without silliness. Out of this face
stared two light blue eyes, frustrated now, and turning, or ready to turn, to anger" (Golding 20). This imagery might be significant because it is suggesting something dark and evil about Jack. That might foreshadow something about him that happens later on in the book.]]> 2019-01-09 17:27:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/318901555 https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/318903490 One example of imagery is "It was roughly boat shaped: humped near this end with behind them the jumbled descent to the shore. On either side rocks, cliffs, treetops, and a steep slope: forward there, the length of the boat, a tamer descent, tree-clad, with hints of pink: and then the jungly flat of the island, dense with green, but drawn at the end to a pink tail" (Golding 29). This imagery may be significant to the plot because the coral reef that they found may be a place they go to relax, or could possibly find any number of things in the water. Its peaceful description could foreshadow something dark or evil happening at this location.]]> 2019-01-09 17:30:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/318903490 https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/318904684 One piece of imagery present in the book Lord of the Flies is "He picked his way to the seaward edge of the platform and stood looking down into the water. It was clear to the bottom and bright with the efflorescence of tropical weed and coral. A school of tiny, glittering fish flicked hither and thither. Ralph spoke to himself, sounding the bass strings of delight" (Golding 12). This description of the environment around them is being described like a paradise. This may be an example of situational irony as they are in such a terrible situation yet they are still able to enjoy the beauty and peace of the island. Also, this many be ironic in the future as some sort of dispute or argument could break out, ending the peaceful times on the island. ]]> 2019-01-09 17:32:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/318904684 https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/318905225 One example of important imagery is in chapter one when it says "Beyond falls and cliff there was a gash visible in the trees; there were splintered trunks and then the drag, leaving only a fringe of palm between the scar and the sea" (Golding 29). This is important because the boys crashed from that plane, and that is where all of the people they will meet on the island come from. Also it is where they started on the island so it resembles their start on the journey. Because Ralph and Piggy met early on, I feel that their relationship built upon meeting one another. This holds importance because where the plane crashed holds sentimental value to the pair. Later in the book they can all discuss how the plane crashed and how they all met.]]> 2019-01-09 17:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/318905225 jacob_a_meyer https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/318906146 An example of imagery in the book, "Lord of The Flies" by William Golding, is when the boys see the "Choir" come out of the jungle as if they were a bat, " Here, the eye was first attracted to a black, bat-like creature that danced on the sand, and only later perceived the body above it.The bat was the child's shadow, shrunk by the vertical sun to a patch between the hurrying feet. The boys thought that it was a creature and first and not a group of people" (Golding 32). This description could show that the choir will follow any instruction from Jack, their leader, to act almost as one organism, a bat. Jack could use this group to coup somebody later in the book to do something bad due to the word "bat' having a negative conantation to it. ]]> 2019-01-09 17:34:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/318906146 isabel_m_kusiolek https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/318940152 One example of imagery in Lord of The Flies is "The boy with fair hair lowered himself down the last few feet of rock and began to pick his way toward the lagoon. Though he had taken off his school sweater and trailed it now from one hand, his grey shirt stuck to him and his hair was plastered to his forehead. All round him the long scar smashed into the jungle was a bath of heat. He was clambering heavily among the creepers and broken trunks..." (Golding 1). This piece of imagery is important to the story because it sets up the recognition of the protagonist, and it also starts to show the reader the backstory of how the boys got to the island. Additionally, it sets up the setting for the rest of the book so the reader can identify and imagine where the boys are.]]> 2019-01-09 18:32:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/318940152 amber_a_kowalski https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/318952312 One example of imagery Golding used was when he wrote, "There was a slight, furtive boy whom no one knew, who kept to himself with an inner intensity of avoidance and secrecy. He muttered that his name was Roger and was silent again" (Golding 21-22). This example, I believe, is foreshadowing about the boy. I think Golding is trying to show that the boy has something shady about him and later on he will do something to betray or sabotage the group. Especially the part where it describes him as secretive, which is definitely not a good quality when deserted on an island.]]> 2019-01-09 18:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/318952312 maha_m_khan https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/318996386 An example of imagery in Lord of the Flies would be when Golding states, "The shore was fledged with palm trees. These stood or leaned or reclined against the light and their green feathers were a hundred feet up in the air. The ground beneath them was a bank covered with coarse 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" (Golding 6). This vivid description is of the palm trees scattered around the island. This imagery might be significant due to the fact that a variety of the things found around the island have been vividly descriptive, especially in the first chapter where everything is introduced. Golding may be trying to give these details in a sense that some of them could even have something to do with the boys on the island, and their survival or safety. ]]> 2019-01-09 20:08:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/318996386 leyla_r_arroyo https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/319027852 One example of imagery in Lord of the Flies would be when Golding is describing Jack. This is seen here, "Then the creature stepped from mirage on to clear sand, and they saw that the darkness was not all shadow but mostly clothing. The creature was a party of boys, marching approximately in step in two
parallel lines and dressed in strangely eccentric clothing. Shorts, shirts, and different garments they carried in their hands; but each boy wore a square black cap with a silver badge on it. Their bodies, from throat to ankle, were hidden by black cloaks which bore a long silver cross on the left breast and each neck was finished off with a ham-bone frill...Inside the floating cloak he was tall, thin, and bony; and his hair was
red beneath the black cap. His face was crumpled and freckled, and ugly without silliness. Out of this face stared two light blue eyes, frustrated now, and turning, or ready to turn, to anger." (Golding 19) Golding describes Jack and the other boys in his choir as militaristic and aggressive. They have just a negative feel and seem to be mysterious. Jack seems to be a physical manifestation of evil. His dark cloak and wild red hair, his appearance is seems extremely ominous. Jack's personality matches his physical characteristics, well. He is militaristic and authoritarian.]]> 2019-01-09 21:31:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/319027852 michael_v_boelens https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/319038132 One example of imagery in Lord of the flies would be page 20 when he is describing the cloaked figures. In the book it says, "Wearily obedient, the choir huddled into line and stood there swaying in the sun. None
the less, some began to protest faintly. 'But, Merridew. Please, Merridew . . . can't we?'
Then one of the boys flopped on his face in the sand and the line broke up. They heaved the fallen boy to the platform and let him lie. Merridew, his eyes staring, made the best of a bad job.
'All right then. Sit down. Let him alone.'
'But Merridew'" (Golding 20). This example of imagery shows you how Jack is evil and controlling. This can foreshadow a fight over leadership in the future or Jack doing something to harm the group in the future.]]> 2019-01-09 22:14:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/319038132 https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/319041229 An example of imagery in Lord of the Flies would be when Ralph looks into the water, "He picked his way to the seaward edge of the platform and stood looking down into the water. It was clear to the bottom and bright with
the efflorescence of tropical weed and coral. A school of tiny, glittering fish flicked hither and
thither. Ralph spoke to himself, sounding the bass strings of delight," (Golding 12). He describes the water being so clear that he can see the bottom. Since the water is so clean it means that there is no major civilization that is living on the island. Without any signs of human activity there must not be any materials that they can use that aren't directly from nature. This means that it will be harder for them to survive. Also without any signs of humans it will take longer, if ever, for them to be rescued. With it being even harder for the boys to survive and having less resources, it can lead to kids fighting and going insane and can lead to anarchy. Without stable leadership and the prolonged rescue chances their chances of survival are minimal.]]> 2019-01-09 22:29:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/319041229 karsin_j_bader https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/319041646 An example of imagery is, "They knew very well why he hadn't: because of the enormity of the knife descending
and cutting into living flesh; because of the unbearable blood.... He snatched his knife out of the sheath and slammed it into a tree trunk. Next time
there would be no mercy. He looked round fiercely, daring them to contradict." (Golding 31) Jack is originally unable to kill the pig. The description of the death of the pig reflects the feelings of the boys. They describe cutting the pig by saying "living flesh" and uses words with a negative connotation like descending, but he also shames Jack by saying "they knew very well". It shows a silent judgement among the boys because Jack couldn't kill the pig. It later describes jack as becoming defensive and deciding he would definitely kill the pig next chance he got. He becomes agitated and more defensive that earlier. It says he dared them to contradict him and stabs a tree as a show of violence. He becomes more violent and is determined not to be hesitant again. His character has already started to change becoming harsher when at the begging he was laughing and messing around with the other boys. ]]> 2019-01-09 22:32:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/319041646 kylie_s_beam https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/319060994 "There was not enough soil for  [trees] to grow to any height, and when they reached perhaps twenty feet tall they fell and dried,..." (Golding 12).

This may suggest that the children may have trouble keeping their firewood supply in check due to the frequency of the trees dying. This can lead to many difficulties; if they need to make weapons out of wood, they will have to use their resources sparingly, and with the large population, that will be difficult.]]> 2019-01-10 00:51:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/319060994 benjamin_r_boldog https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/319065169 An example of imagery from Chapter 1 would be "The coral was scribbled in the sea as though a giant had bent down to reproduce the shape of the island in a flowing chalk line but tired before he had finished." (Golding 29) This imagery may be significant because it shows that island is a bit messy and some things about it are unexpected. What the three boys noticed about the coral reef that it is a bit messy and unexpected might also show up later in the book about other parts of the island which might end up causing trouble for the whole group of boys. That is why the imagery might be significant.]]> 2019-01-10 01:19:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/319065169 https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/319070354 An example of imagery is, "Beyond the platform there was more enchantment...a typhoon perhaps, or the storm that had accompanied his own arrival, had banked sand inside the lagoon so that there was a long, deep pool in the beach with a high ledge of pink granite at the further end." (Golding 8) This quote conveys that even if something looks good on the outside it is often tainted. On this island there is a beautiful island that is essentially paradise, that is then turned into something dark which is what the storm represents. This connects to the boys who are innocent children without guidance that are suddenly turned to violence.]]> 2019-01-10 01:55:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/319070354 https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/319072123 A great example of imagery in the first chapter of  Lord of the Flies would be the description of the coral reef surrounding the island. " The reef enclosed more than one side of the island, lying perhaps a mile out and parallel to what they now thought of as their beach. The coral was scribbled in the sea as though a giant had bent down to reproduce the shape of the island in a flowing chalk line but tired before he had finished. Inside was peacock water, rocks and weeds showing as in an aquarium; outside was the dark blue of the sea. The tide was running so that long streaks of foam tailed away from the reef and for a moment they felt that the boat was moving steadily astern." (Golding 29) I think this description of the reef almost symbolizes the barrier that is preventing them from going back to their families and civilization and almost how unreal their situation is because of how Ralph describes  "That's a reef. A coral reef. I've seen pictures like that." (Golding 29)  as though their condition and surroundings are only ones you would find on the television.]]> 2019-01-10 02:09:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/319072123 carrie_a_cobb https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/319074927 An example of imagery pulled from Lord of the Flies is the description of the choir boys marching down the beach. Golding writes "Within the diamond haze of the beach something dark was fumbling along. Ralph saw it first, and watched till the intentness of his gaze drew all eyes that way. Then the creature stepped from mirage on to clear sand, and they saw that the darkness was not all shadow but mostly clothing. The creature was a party of boys, marching approximately in step in two parallel lines and dressed in strangely eccentric clothing." (Golding 19) Describing the choir boys in cloaks as a "creature" could be foreshadowing. The way that the boys approached the group and what they were wearing was completely different from how the rest of the group appeared. Golding describes the choir boys to be "...marching approximately in step in two parallel lines..." and dressed head to two in black cloaks, while as most of the other boys had arrived in pairs with their clothes stripped completely or close to it. After comparing the choir boys to the others, it seems that the choir boys, or at least a hand-ful of them, will lead to a larger part of the story in a somewhat negative way.]]> 2019-01-10 02:31:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/319074927 lillia_a_kaye https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/319315081 An example of purposeful imagery in the Lord of the Flies, is a description of the beach when the boys are first exploring. "The beach between the palm terrace and the water was a thin stick, endless apparently, for to
Ralph's left the perspectives of palm and beach and water drew to a point at infinity; and
always, almost visible, was the heat." This quote shows the endlessness that the boys may feel by the end of the book. The feeling of undefined circumstances. It is showing how the boys are unable to clearly define their position and understand how to focus on a solution.]]> 2019-01-10 16:09:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/319315081 sophia_c_coronado https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/319320197 One example of significant imagery would be the killing of the pig. The book reads, "...when they heard the noises - squeakings - and the hard strike of hoofs on a path. As they pushed forward the squeaking increased till it became a frenzy. They found a piglet caught in a curtain of creepers, throwing itself at the elastic traces in all the madness of extreme terror...Jack drew his knife again with a flourish. He raised his arm in the air. There came a pause, a hiatus, the pig continued to flash at the end of a bony arm."(Golding 31). This quote may be symbolizing Piggy, and foreshadowing what happens to Piggy. ]]> 2019-01-10 16:18:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/319320197 https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/324671891 An example of imagery is "The shore was fledged with palm trees.

light and their green feathers were a hundred feet up in the air. The ground beneath them was
a bank covered with coarse grass, torn everywhere by the upheavals of fallen trees, scattered

This imagery shows what horrible state the island is in and the destruction caused by the plane crash which most likely represents what man did to the island. But, it also describes the huge palm trees as beautiful which represents the island before they came there.]]> 2019-01-27 13:25:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mgray7/x74lnh499wwr/wish/324671891
