3. Use of Unique Word Choice

4. Imagery "At length he let out his breath in a long sigh and opened his eyes. They were bright blue, eyes that in this frustration seemed bolting and nearly mad" (Golding 48). Jack is hunting for a pig Jack is tracking a pig, and becoming frustrated in his unsuccessful attempt This image describes Jack's "bright blue" eyes as "bolting and nearly mad" with frustration Attractive eyes make him more handsome, like the more popular parts of being without rules. But the beauty or popular objectives are shadowed by the chaotic or tyrannical self behind it Tone "Ralph looked up, frowning, from the complication of leaves. He did not notice Jack even when he saw him" (Golding 50). Ralph has been building shelters; Jack returns from hunting When Ralph hears Jack call and sees him, he can't recognize him This image has tone because it communicates how Jack is becoming more wild and eager to hunt than before, the opposite of Ralph and what he used to be Develops allegory by showing how Ralph, a democratic society that favors rules, is so different from Jack, a more anarchical society who doesn't favor rules but one's own self-interests

5. Use of Unique Word Choice Symbol "'As if,' said Simon, 'the beastie, the beastie or the snake-thing, was real'" (Golding 52). Simon, Ralph, and Jack are talking near the shelters Simon interrupts Ralph and Jack's conversation about the littluns' nightmares The "beastie" (snake): a symbol of fear. Helps develop story because their childish fear grows into something worse Develop the four steps Connotation "They faced each other on the bright beach, astonished at the rub of feeling" (Golding 54). Ralph and Jack started having an argument about the shelters and hunting Ralph and Jack stopped their argument, surprised at the "rub of feeling" "Rub of feeling" connotes the their argument and implies their tension Develops allegory by introducing their tension, like the tensions between political parties or types of government o Needs first step. Needs to explain the use of connotation and what it implies. How does it develop the allegory?

6. Style of Characterization Lord of the Flies motion picture (1963)

7. Golding Uses Dialogue to Develop Characters "Jack had to think for a moment before he could remember what rescue was. 'Rescue? Yes, of course! All the same, I'd like to catch a pig first-' He snatched up his spear and dashed it into the ground. The opaque, mad look came into his eyes again. Ralph looked at him critically through his tangle of fair hair. 'So long as you hunters remember the fire-' 'You and your fire!'" (Golding 53). Ralph, Simon and Jack are talking about whether there is a "beastie" on the island Ralph mentions rescue, something that obviously isn't as important to Jack as killing a pig Develops Jack's character by showing how little he cares for being rescued, compared to Ralph, and how much he doesn't like rules Develops allegory by representing a democratic government and an increasingly more anarchical government's tensions and uncommon ground

8. Golding Uses Character Action to Develop His Characters "Here the littluns who had run after him caught up with him. They talked, cried out unintelligibly, lugged him toward the trees. Then, amid the roar of bees in the afternoon sunlight, Simon found for them the fruit they could not reach, pulled off the choicest from up in the foliage, passed them back down to the endless, outstretched hands. When he had satisfied them he paused and looked round. The littluns watched him inscrutably over double handfuls of fruit" (Golding 56). Simon left Jack and Ralph to their own affairs as he heads to his "special place" and the fruit trees Simon is followed to the fruit trees by the littluns and he helps the littluns get the good fruit high up in the trees till they were all satisfied This action of Simon's, helping the littluns get good fruit till they were satisfied, shows how he is very compassionate and caring, probably more so than the other boys. It also shows how needy the littluns are, and how much they rely and adore Simon Develops the allegory by showing a peaceful, thoughtful, and logical people, eager to help peoples less capable than them; democratically inclined (often opposed by anarchists and silenced by mockery)

9. Golding uses direct characterization to develop his characters "He was a small, skinny boy, his chin pointed, and his eyes so bright they had deceived Ralph into thinking him delightfully gay and wicked. The coarse mop of black hair was long and swung down, almost concealing a low, broad forehead. He wore the remains of shorts and his feet were bare like Jack's. Always darkish in color, Simon was burned by the sun to a deep tan that glistened with sweat" (Golding 55-56). Simon has just left the platform and shelter area in search of peace in the forest Quote describes Simon in appearance This develops Simon's character by describing his physical appearance Develops the allegory by implying that Simon, a moral, democratic people,: o is small is size, yet mature enough to be a leader, "bigun" o is at first-glance considered a trouble-maker o is very logical and wise, yet such is usually concealed o doesn't look like anything extraordinary, looks like Jack o is very active about the world, working hard till the grown ups come again

10. Golding Uses 3 Plot Devices to Develop His Allegory Map image of the island

11. Internal Conflict "Jack stood there, streaming with sweat, streaked with brown earth, stained by all the vicissitudes of a day's hunting. Swearing, he turned off the trail and pushed his way through..." (Golding 49). Jack hunts in the forest intently, but fails to catch a pig Jack, frustrated and filthy, finally ends his hunt and returns to the others The internal conflict is the frustration and weariness from working so hard and long, unable to kill a pig. Develops the allegory by showing us a government or people becoming more and more determined to harm, or cause chaos, as their frustration mounts at their weak attempts to do so

12. External Conflict "Indignation took away Ralph's control. 'I was talking about smoke! Don't you want to be rescued? All you talk about is pig, pig, pig!' 'But we want meat!' 'And I work all day with nothing but Simon and you come back and don't even notice the huts!' 'I was working too-' 'But you like it!' shouted Ralph. 'You want to hunt!'" (Golding 54) Jack and Ralph are having an argument down by the beach Ralph is accusing Jack of not caring enough about being rescued, and caring to much about a pig. Jack tries to defend himself. Shows external conflict because it is a vocal argument between Ralph and Jack Develops allegory because it shows two governments or peoples not being able to work together, one accusing the other of laziness and acting like an animal

13. Foreshadowing "All the warm salt water of the bathing pool and the shouting and splashing and laughing were only just sufficient to bring them together again" (Golding 55). Ralph and Jack have just ended their argument Ralph and Jack, hearing the other boys at play, come together in peace "...were only just sufficient to bring them together again" suggests that in the future, they won't come together again so easily Develops allegory by showing two governments falling into peace because of short-lasting pleasantries. For the time being.

14. Archetypes "'As if it wasn't a good island.' Astonished at the interruption, they looked up at Simon's serious face. 'As if," said Simon, 'the beastie, the beastie or the snake-thing, was real. Remember?' The two older boys flinched when they heard the shameful sullable. Snakes were not mentioned now, were not mentionable. 'As if this wasn't a good island,' said Ralph slowly. 'Yes that's right.' Jack sat up and stretched out his legs. 'They're batty' 'Crackers...'" (Golding 52) Jack, Ralph, and Simon were discussing what feels wrong about the island Simon interrupts by adding that it could be the island itself was bad and the "beastie" could be real Shows how Simon's archetype is a wise man because he is logical and thoughtful; has good things to say, later is shown to be kind to the littluns Develops allegory by showing a good religion or society, whose wisdom, logic, and compassion could have helped out the rest of the world tremendously had it taken them more seriously
