LOTF: The Grand Finale

BOOK REVIEW:

Here it is… the grand finale… a chance to sound off about what you really thought of Lord of the Flies. I am not looking for a plot summary here, but your review should reflect an in-depth knowledge of both plot and characters through the use of one example of an incident that happened in the book.

1. Choose one thing that happened in the book that you did or did not enjoy. Explain what happened in this incident and why you felt as you did about it. (Note: No two people may use the same incident… blog early if you can!)

2. In addition, write a critique of the book as a whole. What did you like about reading it? What didn’t you like? You may slant your opinion toward one side or the other as long as you defend it adequately.

Each of these questions should be answered with a minimum of 100 words apiece. I encourage you to go beyond the minimum, and PROOFREAD YOUR WORK BEFORE POSTING.

This assignment counts as 50 points of your 1st quarter Book Report and must be posted by no later than midnight Sunday, October 26.

ONCE YOU HAVE COMPLETED THIS ASSIGNMENT, YOUR 1ST QUARTER BOOK REPORT IS FINISHED!!! YOU MAY THEN TURN IN YOUR LORD OF THE FLIES BOOK AND RELAX!

Lord of the Flies - Characters

Choose one of the characters in the novel and compare him to a real person you know, or to a fictional character from a book or movie. Write a lengthy paragraph that gives reasons for your comparison, citing at least two examples of things the character does or says in the novel. Your post should be approximately 200 – 300 words.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: “The early bird catches the worm” in this assignment, because NO MORE THAN TWO PEOPLE MAY USE THE SAME CHARACTER AS THEIR EXAMPLE. In addition, if you are the second person to use a particular character, you must be sure that your examples are not the same.
