Question 7
Are there any settings in this novel which you have found to be beautiful? or distrubing? or memorable? describe these settings and comment on why they were meaningful to you.
No it was distrubing for me, because the quote says, " All round him the long scar smashed into the jungle was a bath of heat. He was clambering heavily among the creepers and broken trunks when a bird, a vision of red and yellow, flashed upwards with a witch-like cry; and this cry was ecgied by another"
Because it tells us that the boys were damaged and had a scar that hurt them terribly. And the warm heat and the sun disturbed him cruelly make them irritated. This settings and comment shows that the boys will be hurt and ripped apart. They will kill and damage each other. The sun and the warm heat describes the beast (fear) that disturbed and irritated them so much that they became a phsyco and killed their friend. The scar describes the disruption between the boys and predict that they will hurt each other and become the beast. Also, the novel reaveals that the world is like this, they kill each other even though they are same race. For example, in Africa they kill each other and still having a war.

Question 6
Please choose one passage from the novel that is significant to you. Why is this passage meaningful? Please type it into one of your entries and comment on what you think about the passage.
"What are we? Humans? Or animals? Or savages? What's grownups going to think? Going off -hunting pigs- letting fires out - and now!"
This passage is very meaningful to me, because it shows us that the boys are becoming nefarious beast. The boys are becoming a physco. The passage shows that some of the boys loose their manner. Jack wants to be a leader of the boys, it shows us that the Jack is already looking for the political power. By this diabolical thought, there was a disruption between their relationship and divided into two groups. Jack give a malignant influence to the boys about the killing and way they behave. There is a right force that seek for right. Ralph's group fought back and told them to think and look back of yourself. This situation was extremely invidious for Ralph. He wants to get out of this island, but crazy boys doesn' t listen to him and try to adopt in this island. It was shame to Ralph, because he was being on charge of taking care of the boys, he was the chief. Piggy and Ralph is kind of grownups in this novel, they know what is right or wrong. They belived that there is hope to get out, but Jack's group didn't.

Question 5
what is the mood of this novel? do you find this novel saddens you in any way? why?
It's kind of vacilate to me, because in the beggining of the story, boys were confused, as they got together they were fine and cooperated. In the beggining, their mood was so-so. When there was disruption between them, Ralph's groups mood was kind of stuffy. And Jack's groups mood was stimulated, wild. I can find the saddness of this novel by Simon's death. The diabolical boy killed Simon and they become the beast. The mendacious boys trying to enshoud their mistakes, but they know what they have done. Living in this island alone withought adult were exorbitant for them. The boys became a psycho, because of their fearnesss. It is sad that there is no one who is old and intelligent to lead the boys into the right way.

Question 4
What is the cliamx of this novel? What happens? How do the events of this novel make you feel?
In my opinion, climax is that when the kids become the beast, they circled the Simon and killed him. This events made me sick, because the real beast were kids. Simon revealed the truth and trying to tell kids that the beast is not exist just imagination,but the kids killed the real truth and became uncontrollable. I was shocked when Mrs.Lavender told us the truth. "There is no way, and no hope for humanism. I think the author tried to tell our evilness through this book.

Question 3
Who are the main characters in the novel? do you like them? Why or why not? What is special about them? What do they reveal about the universal human experience?
I think the main characters are Ralph, Piggy, and Jack. They are the oldest, strongest, and highest among the other boys. Ralph is a cheif, Piggy is tactician, and Jack is the hunter. I like Ralph and Piggy, because they know what they have to do to survive and get out of the island. Ralph will be greatest cheif among other boys, because he delivers the boys right. Piggy is kind and knows what is wrong. He tries to deliver other boys to survive in this island, but everyone ignores him. He tries to act like adults. Also, withought Piggy's glass thing, they cannot light the fire to signal to the ship. I think Ralph and Piggy is the only boys who think. Their personalities reveals us that there is competition between people. People always break up in other groups and fight each others. Always the right one and bad one fights. Today, people's ear and eyes were closed and doesn't find out that which group is the right one.

Question 2
Are there are any current situations in the world that relate to the novel? What are they, and how do they relate? does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved or "fixed"?
Yes, there are a lot of currnet situations in the world that relates to this novel. Today, the Communist leaders tries to keep their authority and powers. Kim Jung Il, North Korea's dictator who still follow the ideas of Marxism, to keep his power he can do everything for himself. Often in society, people divides into two groups and competition starts. They damages each other and tries to go up in most high place in government. Ralph and Jack divides in two groups. Jack tries to grow his power by killing others.
The book shows us that by the ship, Ralph survived. This novel can shed the light by outside rescue. To solve the problem, if inside resolving is not possible then outside resolving will be possible. In North Korea's case, to stop the communism in North Korea, one of Kim Jung Il's followers has to betray him and assasinate him. But in novel, William Golding was saying that the ship that rescued the kids were a war ship that will go to the bigger war that the kids had. In Willam Golding point of view is that there is no hope for us. There is no way.
Question 1
What is the major theme of this novel? Why is this theme important to a teenager living in 2007?
The major theme of this novel that Wiliam Golding is withought unity in people, the nation, country everythings will collasps. The society that the kids shows us is that they are already looking and desire for the authority. (Disruption) Ralph and Jack split in two groups and live diffrently. This island became hell, by disruption for authority. We have to know what is right or not and to follow the right leader to lead us from the dilemma. Even though they are child they fight for authority and for their greed. If we love our country and wants to develop into the most powerful country under the sky, we (nation's) need to union our heart and support each other. If you get blind by authority and fight each other, the country and nations , everything collasps.
This author also taught me that don't be greedy and try to ruin another people's life. Always, cooperate each other and even though you really hate someone, you should understand and love them. In front of authority, almost every people collasps, but one who can give up everything for their people, is the best leader. If I graduate from collage and get a job, I will not ruin other people's life to be high in the job.
