What did you learn today? Can you think of any connections between the story and the outside world? Think about:- the characters, the setting, the author's style, the events of the story the genre, the theme, your own life, other stories/books/poems. Are there any questions you have from today's reading that weren't answered in discussion or came from discussion? Would you recommend this story? To whom? Why/why not? Any other thoughts or comments?
I've learnt a few things today like new words, how it is to discuss in a group, and talk about the chapter. There are lots of connections between the story and the outside world. Piggy is and equivalent to a nerd who is a loner and is always picked on, while Jack and Ralph are like girls with all their fighting here and there. The island is also similar to many deserted islands around the world, and what if there was actually a lord of the flies on one of them as well as the boys being stranded. The mountains, the beach, the lagoons, the trees, the rock pools, the animals - they're all real. The discussion also involved how the author, William Golding, had used lots of words to symbolise what the sentence means in the whole paragraph. He makes words look like they have a lot of faces and personalities and how they mean.
