Today, you wrote a quiz on Chapter 7 and 8. You were also instructed to read chapters 9 and 10 for tomorrow's class.
I then discussed the significance of this chapter. It is here that the audience gets a real understanding of what the "danger" on the island is (it is the "Id" inside all of us). We discussed the myth of the beast (the masks, the pig's head, the parachutist), and the meaning of the term "Lord of the Flies."
I also discussed how pathetic fallacy is present in this scene. If you were not here, look up this term on your "Stylistic Devices" sheet and then see for yourself the connection. The rest of the class time was used for reading.
