  7. Defining Moments for CharacterStep One • 1. Focusing on chapters 1-6, choose five defining moments for your character. In other words, choose five moments from the novel that changed your character in a significant way.

  8. Where do I get these moments? • www.kennethmhill.comhas full text to copy and paste • http://gv.pl/pdf/lord_of_the_flies.pdf • From your book: chapters 1-6 or beyond if you are further • Or • Many internet sources: • Google: e.g., • “Lord of the Flies” Ralph/Roger/Jack quotes

  10. Step Three • 3. Briefly describe the way in which each moment changed your character.

  11. Step Four • 4. Note whether your moment was “low,” “medium,” or “high.” Low moments changed your character in a negative way, high moments improved your character, and medium moments were neutral.
