The jelly bean color you have chosen tells us something about your personality.

About ¾ should find that the description which will be given is accurate

REMEMBER!! No one is just one color but one color is usually

dominant. All of us have some of the various traits associated with other colors.

This is important to realize when dealing with others. We should be able to empathize with those who see things differently and deal with problems differently than we do.

Born on September 19, 1911, in Cornwall, England

In school, , his parents urged him to study the natural sciences

Ended up going to Oxford University

After graduating from Oxford, he worked briefly as a theater actor and director, wrote poetry, and then became a schoolteacher

Golding joined the Royal Navy, where he served in command of a rocket-launcher and participated in the invasion of Normandy

The war had exposed him to horrific experiences which influenced his writing in the years to come.

After the war Golding worked as a teacher in a boys’ school in Salisbury

In 1954 he published his first novel, Lord of the Flies

Golding was knighted in 1988 and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993, shortly before he died.

When Lord of the Flies was published in the early 1950s Britain was living in the shadow of the horrors of World War Two.

The war changed the way people in general and William Golding in particular viewed the world.

World War I was for many years called the War to End All Wars. World War II proved that idea wrong and created a new sense that people are inherently warlike, power hungry, and savage.

Golding was horrified by what war revealed about people's capacity to harm their fellow humans: the Nazi concentration camps, the Japanese treatment of their prisoners, the atomic bombing against civilians - even his own actions as a naval officer.

During the war the British justified all the destruction they wrought on the grounds that they had 'right' on their side, but Golding came to question this smug assumption. He gradually learned to see all human nature as savage and unforgiving: he knew that even the 'goodies' can become 'baddies'.

World War 2 ended in 1945. The United Nations was set up after the war to try to ensure that a global conflict never happened again, but in 1954, when Lord of the Flies was published, the threat of a nuclear war was still very real. It was entirely plausible to the novel's original audience that an atom bomb really could destroy civilisation.

Novels – you are signing for it, so you are responsible for it!

If you loose it or damage it more, you’re responsible for it.

Ensure you have your book (they are numbered)

Read pages 1-15 independently & do the following: As you read the first page, what

images, sights, sounds smells come to mind.

Make read like a reader notes while reading in your notebook (not in the novel)

Create a list of characters you come across and document their character traits with page references as you are introduced to them

Document all information you find in regards to setting, mood, atmosphere

SECOND – Write this down!
