  1. An uninhabited island Sound of the Shell & Fire on the Mountain

  2. Agenda: Opening Chapters • William Golding’s Use of Mood (Setting & Atmosphere) • Foreshadowing • Third Person Omniscient • Plot Conflict

  3. Mood In Golding’s LOTF • Setting: place in which story takes place including factors such as weather & social customs • Atmosphere: the mood to the feeling that infuses the story • No Civilization • No Adults • Unknown year (sometime during second world war) • Parallel Universe • Reader experiences the same thrill of exploration and the same satisfaction of discovery

  4. Golding’s Setting is vital….. Boys crash land into the “jungle” (scar) and Ralph is headed towards the “lagoon” Shore of the “lagoon” is lined with palm trees

  5. False sense of security….. • Ralph looks out beyond the lagoon to the coral “reef” and beyond that the “dark blue” of the “open sea” • Behind Ralph is the “darkness of the forest proper” EMOTIONS ARE BEING CHANNELED………….. • Dark Scary Forest (DANGER) • Bright Shimmering Lagoon (AWESOME EXCITEMENT) • The “Open Sea” – (ISOLATION)

  6. Granite platform: meeting spot for new civilization when Ralph uses the conch to summon children out of the jungle • The Mountains: expedition climbs the mountain by means of a series of pink rocks • Pig Run: “What made this track” Human vs. Animal made • Coral Reef: “Vantage point or barricade separating beach from sea” (Boys from Adult World) • Consider the following statement: The boys are taking advantage &imposing their own imposing nature on natural (mountain, lagoon, granite platform) occurring structures on this uninhabited landscape

  7. Foreshadowing . . . . • Foreshadowing: A warning or indication of a future event • The “Scar” (Destruction / Barbarism against nature) • The “Great Rock” – smashed the canopy floor • Title “The Lord of the Flies” (Power struggles) • “Piggy” (Jack’s attempts to kill the pig at the end of chapter 1)

  8. Mode of Narration . . . . • Third Person Omniscient: the author tells the story using the third person. Author knows all of what is done, said, felt, and thought by the characters. • Each character is referred to as “he” “she” “it” or “they” & never as “I” “we” (First Person) • Omniscient: means moving back and forth (omnisciently as you can imagine as the reader) between different scenes and thoughts • As the reader we see all and make judgments for ourselves

  9. Island Design from Golding’s Perspective • Be sure to include: the granite platform, coral reef, scar, mountains, the pig run and the lagoon • Be sure to label each
