12. A.Man is inherently evil: Each person has within himself both good and evil. The evil will override the good unless it is contained by the laws of society. When man has no laws to go by, he will revert to savage behavior. B.The need for civilization: Humans need civilization to keep them in line. When laws, rules, police, and schools are not in place, humans revert to a more primitive part of their nature. You can only cover up inner savagery so long before it breaks out, given the right situation. C.Innocence and the loss of it: Golding implies that the loss of innocence has little to do with age but is related to a person’s understanding of human nature. It can happen at any age or not at all.

13. D.The loss of identity: When civilization slips away man reverts to his more primitive nature, his identity disintegrates. The boys use masks to cover their identity, and this allows them to do things they wouldn’t normally do. E.Power: Democratic power is demonstrated when choices and decisions are shared among many. Authoritarian power allows one person to rule by threatening and terrifying others. People will abuse power when it's not earned. When given a chance, people often single out another to degrade to improve their own security. F.Fear of the unknown: The fear of the unknown can be a powerful force, which can turn you to either insight or hysteria. Fear of the unknown on the island revolves around the boys’ terror of the beast.

18. Next Grammar Unit: Rules for Prepositional Phrases. Do you know any comma rules for prepositional phrases?

19. HERE'S RULE #1: DO NOT PUT A COMMA AFTER A LITTLE INTRODUCTORY PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE (1, 2, OR 3 WORDS) UNLESS IT IS NEEDED FOR CLARITY. EXAMPLE #1 IN THE MORNING I WILL GO TO JILL’S HOUSE. EXAMPLE #2: IN BASKETBALL, UNIFORMS ARE TWO-PIECE OUTFITS. (TWO-WORD INTRO. PREP. PHRASE NEEDS COMMA FOR CLARITY. WITHOUT THE COMMA WE READ, "IN BASKETBALL UNIFORMS...".)

20. HERE'S RULE #2: DO PUT A COMMA AFTER A LONG. INTRODUCTORY PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE (4 OR MORE WORDS). EXAMPLES: ON THIS BEAUTIFUL, SUMMER MORNING, LET'S HIKE. (FIVE-WORD INTRODUCTORY PREP. PHRASE)

21. HERE'S RULE #3: DO PUT A COMMA AFTER A SERIES (SOMETIMES CALLED A SUCCESSION) OF INTRODUCTORY PREPOSITIONAL PHRASES ON OUR LAST MORNING AT CAMP SNOOPY, THE BUS WILL LEAVE. (SERIES OF 2 INTRO. PREP. PHRASES)

22. Anaphora Anaphora = the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses. It functions to add rhythm and it’s memorable E.g. “To them this government has no just powers derived from the consent of the governed. To them this government is not a democracy.” We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be... We shall never surrender.” Aphorism Aphorism = a pithy (brief/concise)observation that contains a general truth. Function: The revealed truths prove relevant to human experiences of real life. Therefore, the readers relate the piece of literature to real life E.g. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” “To err is human, to forgive divine.”

23. Asyndeton = Asyndeton = the absence of conjunctions between coordinate phrases, clauses, or words (recall conjunctions are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). The function: it speeds things up. In literature, it might be used to help create tension/conflict. Each phrase between the comma gets emphasis E.g. “Are all thy conquests, glories, triumphs, spoils, Shrunk to this little measure?” “This is the villain among you who deceived you, who cheated you, who meant to betray you completely…….” Polysyndeton Polysyndeton = The deliberate use of conjunctions (FANBOYS) in successive words, phrases, or clauses (when they are not necessary). The function: it can slow things down; it might reflect a sense of abundance or an overwhelmed mental state and and and and and and E.g. “The banquet table was a riot of beef and pork and lamb and fish and fresh vegetables and candied fruits and all sorts of wonderful dainties.”

24. Foreshadowing Personification Metaphor Simile Hyperbole Parallelism Irony Sarcasm

25. What we need to identify Chapter title: What do we think it means? Where are we? What has happened? Who are the characters? What traits are we already seeing? What is the scar?
