The name of the group’s society. • One GOOD aspect that makes for a FUNCTIONAL and PRODUCTIVE society. There could be more than one! • Optional: Any bad aspects that would be the DOWNFALL of the society. • Jot down one question you still have for the group.

  6. Individual Response The Lord of the Flies: 1. Write a brief summary of the ending (no more than 25 words)—use a comical or serious tone. 2. What are your thoughts on the ending? 3. Write one statement (1 to 2 sentences)below on what you believe is one thematic message in the novel. Remember, a theme is a “big idea” either explicitly or implicitly presented by the author.

What might Golding’s political critique be in Lord of the Flies?

  8. Brief Historical Context • Published in 1954 (9 years after the end of WWII)

  9. 9/8/11—Chapter 4 • What is the significance of the title, “Painted Faces and Long Hair”? • Why does Roger, throwing stones at the littluns, aim just to miss? • What definite stand does Ralph make? • Why does Jack refuse to give Piggy meat?

  10. Golding’s Golden Lines • With a partner, select four significant quotes that stood out to you in the reading.
