Chapter 5-6 Package is ready. Read chapter 5/6 and do the package! As a result of the GLA 12, things have been pushed back a bit, but we are on track for Hamlet and Apocalypse Now - and probably one more surprise before the semester is done.

English 11 LOTF Stuff!

Remember: the close reading is due on Tuesday, November 5.

Now that we've read chapter 1-4 and defense mechanisms, it's time to look at character motives. This requires us to infer how characters think based on their behaviour. Specifically, in LOTF we want to examine the defenses used by Jack, Ralph and Piggy in the first third of the book. On Wednesday we began looking through the early chapters, today we'll write on it.

Find 4 examples where characters have used a defense. This will be most easily located where there's dialogue and interaction between characters (but not always!). Write out a paragraph that explores these examples.
