5. William Golding published the novel in 1954, about 10 years after he served in WWII. After joining the British Navy in 1940, he was part of the Normandy Invasion in June 1944. He set Lord of the Flies in a time of war.

7. Chapter 6 pg. 95 (middle of 2nd paragraph) “…but there were other lights in the sky, that moved fast, winked, or went out,though not even a faint popping came down from the battle fought at ten miles’ height. But a sign came down from the world of grown-ups, though at the time there was no child awake to read it. There was a sudden bright explosion and corkscrew trail across the sky; then darkness again and stars. There was a speck above the island, a figure dropping swiftly beneath a parachute, a figure that hung with dangling limbs. The changing winds of various altitudes took the figure where they would.”
8. Chapter 6 pg. 95-96 “The figure fell and crumpled among the blue flowers of the mountain-side, but now there was a gentle breeze at this height too and the parachute flopped and banged and pulled. So the figure, with feet that dragged behind it, slid up the mountain. Yard by yard, puff by puff, the breeze hauled the figure through the blue flowers, over the boulders and red stones, till it lay huddled among the shattered rocks of the mountain-top.”
9. Chapter 6 pg. 96 “Here the breeze was fitful and allowed the strings of the parachute to tangle and festoon; and the figure sat, its helmeted head between its knees, held by a complication of lines. When the breeze blew, the lines would strain taut and some accident of this pull lifted the head and chest upright so that the figure seemed to peer across the brow of the mountain. Then, each time the wind dropped, the lines would slacken and the figure bow forward again, sinking its head between its knees. So as the stars moved across the sky, the figure sat on the mountain-top and bowed and sank and bowed again.”
10. Three Main Types of Irony Verbal Irony : A person says or writes one thing and means another (they do it intentionally!) Situational Irony: The final outcome of a film, play or book is contradictory to what was expected.It can also include a situation where two ideas or concepts contradict each other. Something happens that is different from what you expect. Dramatic Irony: The audience or reader knows of a present or future circumstance of which a character is ignorant. The audience knows something the characters do not.
11. Verbal Irony: What do you think these men are really saying?
12. Situational Irony: “I am your father.” Thefocusedfilmographer.com
13. Dramatic Irony This can simply be remembered as “We know! They don’t!” Watch this clip from Monsters Inc. and explain the dramatic irony to me. Blog.airbeem.com
14. Irony in Lord of the Flies Chapter 6 pg. 98-99 The Twins, Sam and Eric, believe they see the beast on the top on the mountain. We as readers know that this “beast” is actually the dead body of the parachutist. This is an example of Dramatic Irony.
15. Irony in Lord of the Flies Chapter 2 pg. 42 When Ralph decides to assign boys to watch the fire, Jack initially agrees with him. “I agree with Ralph. We’ve got to have rules and obey them. After all, we’re not savages.” By the middle of the novel, we find out that Jack is one of the most savage boys on the island! This is an example of Situational Irony.
16. Irony in Lord of the Flies Chapter 2 pg. 44 Piggy tries to call the boys to order after they managed to start a fire. Unfortunately, he’s the only who notices they’ve set nearly half the island aflame. He sarcastically tells them what they’ve done. “You got your small fire all right.” This is an example of Verbal Irony.
17. Irony in Lord of the Flies Chapter 5 pg. 94 At the end of the meeting, Jack excites the boys about hunting and they run off wildly. Piggy, Ralph, and Simon are left alone to vent their frustrations about the disorderly boys. “Grownups know things,” said Piggy. “If only they could get a message to us,” cried Ralph desperately. “If only they could send us something grownup. . .a sign or something.” A grownup does come to the island, but not the kind of grownup we would expect. He’s dead! This is an example of Situational Irony.
18. Let’s play a game! For each picture that I display, tell me if it is verbal irony, situational irony, or dramatic irony. You will do this by moving from one wall to another. Signs are posted on each wall for each type of irony.
