Lord of the Flies - Part 2

Hopefully you've all checked out the prompts below for the first part of our LotF responses. I meant to roll out this second set of prompts earlier, but have been VERY busy of late - sorry! Same rules apply as for the first set - pick 2 of these 5 prompts to respond to, and more length and depth = a better response (obviously!). These will be lumped in with the first set and graded wholly using the rubric I attached below. Please let me know if you have any questions!!!

Throughout the book, much contrast can be found between the gory events that happen and the young boys doing them. Why might Golding have chosen these two to contrast each other?

In the last paragraph, Golding writes “...Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of men’s hearts...” Discuss how this relates to the events that happened in the book.

Think a bit deeper about the themes present in the book - what do you think Golding might have been trying to say about society and politics?

Symbols are everywhere in LotF - pick 2 that really stood out to you and discuss their importance to the story.

Do you agree with the idea that evil is inherent in people, regardless of age? Discuss in relation to your own experiences as well as those in the book.
