Lord of the Flies
Quarter
3 – Chapters 7,8&9
1.Skeletal Plot:
- The boys stop to eat as they travel toward the mountain.
- Has contact with the boar but than the boar escapes
- The next day the monster roars up a big scare in the boys minds
- They basically stay throughout the beach
- Piggy and Ralph go to the feast and the boys are caught up in a frenzy
Conflict:
There is a little more conflict in this quarter of the
novel over the first two quarters, especially when dealing with Ralph
and Jack. They both believe that they are the most powerful people in
the group, but really they are just as equal. They both seem to argue
about who is a greater leader and chief.
2.Setting:
Still, through this quarter the boys are on island,
beach area or the jungle. There isn't really anywhere the boys can go
considering the boys are stranded. They do spread out throughout the
island, but either way they are all still stuck on the beach.
3.Characters:
Ralph
Simon
Piggy
Jack & Jacks hunters
Roger
4.Point of View:
Through almost the entire story the author has given
this book an omniscient point of view because he wants to show that
everyone has a different point of view and they aren't all
necessarily right or wrong.
5.Writers Style and Structure:
Similes
or Metaphors: “In front of them only three or four yards away,
was a rock-like
hump
where no rock should be” pg. 135
Visual or Imagery: “Jack brought up the rear,
displaced and brooding.” pg. 130
Unusual vocabulary or Diction: “...derisive
incomprehension.” pg 141
Particular Idea: Power is the particular idea on
this quarter of the novel
Dialogue?
Is it realistic?: “So we can't have a signal fire.... We're
beaten.” pg 137
6.Themes:
Savagery
Power
Strength
Encouragement
Defeat
Willingness
7.Personal
Response:
I
think that everyone can relate to loosing and gaining power if it has
to do with school, friends or family, etc. But personally I cannot
see any other relations with me and any of the characters in this
book throughout the majority of this novel. This quarter is
definitely has more depth than the other quarters; this is when
everything starts to get a little more interesting.
