  3. You wouldn’t start to build a house without a floor plan, would you?

  4. Surely, you wouldn’t cook a seven course meal without checking on the ingredients you need?

  5. For both building a house and preparing an elaborate meal, planning is essential.

  9. EXAMPLES OF BACKGROUND

  10. LORD OF THE FLIES The book indicates that it takes place in the midst of an unspecified nuclear war. Some of the marooned characters are ordinary students, while others arrive as a musical choir under an established leader

  11. Most appear never to have encountered one another before. The book portrays their descent into savagery; left to themselves in a paradisical country, far from modern civilisation, the well-educated children regress to a primitive state.

  12. At an allegorical level, the central theme is the conflicting impulses toward civilization—live by rules, peacefully and in harmony—and towards the will to power.

  13. Themes include the tension between groupthink and individuality, between rational and emotional reactions, and between morality and immorality. How these play out, and how different people feel the influences of these, form a major subtext of Lord of the Flies.
