is civilization vs. savagery.

ch.
6 that supports this theme.
Part B: Elaborate on the evidence. What is your
reason/warrant
? (i.e. – How does your textual evidence support the claim at the top of this screen?)Slide6
p. 108 – “Mutinously, the boys fell silent or muttering.”

Why is it especially horrific and savage when Robert says, “you want a real pig…because you’ve got to kill him,” and Jack replies, “use a
littlun
”?
What is this foreshadowing?Slide10
How does Golding convey the shift of leadership that is slowly taking place?
Use textual evidence to support your answer.Slide11
How does Golding show that Ralph is still civilized in this chapter?
Use textual evidence to support your answer.Slide12
Analyzing the author’s craft:
Why do you suppose the author lets the reader know at the beginning of chapter 6 that it is a pilot and his parachute, not a beast, that the boys find?
Bonus: What type of irony is this?
Would there not have been greater suspense if the reader knew no more than the boys?
What is Golding trying to prove by doing this?
There is NO beastSlide13
Chapter 8
Gift for the darknessSlide14
How does Golding remind the reader that the story is about young boys?
Textual evidence?
How does this piece of evidence remind the reader of this fact?
Analyzing the author’s craft: How does this make what happens in the next chapter even more shocking?Slide15

Part A: Find textual evidence
(pp. 134-135)
that supports this claim.
Part
B: Elaborate on the evidence. What is your
reason/warrant
? (i.e. – How does your textual evidence support the claim at the top of this screen
?)Slide16
How else does Golding show that Jack and the other boys are becoming increasingly savage?
HINT: Look at p. 140Slide17
How can the title of this chapter, “Gift for the darkness,” be interpreted in two ways?
Literally, it’s a gift for the beast, to appease something they don’t understand
Spiritually, it’s a sacrifice to their own primitive natures that are growing increasingly cruel and dangerousSlide18
So…what’s up with the creepy conversation between Simon and the pig’s head?????Slide19
Most scholars place this conversation as the climax of the novel. Why?
The knowledge that the beast is withinSlide20
Chapter 9
A view to a deathSlide21
Look at p. 145-147. Draw Biblical parallels.
Simon’s goal is to free the “beast” and render it harmless
Christ’s goal at Golgotha is to render harmless the devil (beast)Slide22
What does Simon’s death symbolize?
