Today, we dealt with the importance of setting in Lord of the Flies. The setting is integral to the novel's message, and the island itself serves as an important symbol. We will be talking more about this in class on Wednesday and Thursday.As a warm up, we discussed the many ways your physical environment can impact your lifestyle, behavior, appearance, and decision-making. We also talked about what sort of changes you would have to make if you found yourself in a completely different physical environment (for example, a remote tropical island...hint hint) and what adaptations you would need to make in order to thrive in that environment.
The rest of class was spent doing an in-class group activity on the setting of the novel in which we analyzed Golding's descriptions of the island through his use of sensory language. We will continue work with this on the block days.
Remember, vocab presentations begin on Wednesday!
