The Symbolism of the Island Different areas of the island are associated with different ideas. Beach = Dreams/hope of rescue Mountain = ? Bush/Forest = ? Rocky-outcrop(peninsula) = ?

Symbolism Must have in order to speak Used to start a fire BE ON THE LOOKOUT! THERE ARE LOTS OF SYMBOLS IN THIS BOOK! IT’S LIKE A GAME OF WHERE’S WALDO!!!! Conch shell Must have in order to speak Make predictions. What might physically happen to the shell and what might that mean? Glasses (specs) Used to start a fire Make predictions. How might this symbol play into the book? How might it change over time?

Symbolism Golding uses symbols to represent different meanings within the book. Examples: The title Lord of the Flies = Evil A seashell used to call the boys and designate a speaking order might represent? Keep an eye out for anything that could be symbolic (There are lots of them!).

...Characters as symbols In addition to objects, people/characters can be symbolic too. What are various character traits that can be used to describe humans? Golding attempts to emphasize this point by giving certain characters stronger attributes (one character embodies wisdom, one evil, etc.)
