During our study of the novel 'Lord of the Flies' by William Golding, you will be required to contribute to an ongoing class discussion around key aspects of the novel. Listed below are a series of threads that focus on key characters, ideas, setting and the author's use of techniques. You are encouraged to vigorously engage in ongoing dialogue through any one of these threads, where your comments will be moderated.
A minimum of two comments per thread is required for each member of the class. Your comment should be structured to include quotations and references from the text to support your discussion. You must also be mindful of upholding internet etiquette, by posting and responding in a respectful way.
We look forward to some thought-provoking and engaging blogging as you enhance your understanding and enjoyment of the novel through shared learning!
The Setting
Golding's choice of setting (on a remote uninhabited island) is a good one, given that his intensions in writing the novel are to 'trace the defects of society back to the defects in human nature.' Do you agree with this statement?
