Lord of the Flies features three characters vying for power (Ralph, Jack, and Piggy), each with their own approach to leadership. Considering the three “appeals” (ethos, logos, and pathos), identify the primary approach taken by ONE of the three main characters and support your claim by analyzing the literary devices (e.g., diction, imagery, simile/metaphor, etc.) Golding utilizes in their attempt to sway the crowd to follow their vision.
Tips to success:
Do not simply recount the plot or attributes of the character. Do not discuss more than one character or more than one appeal. Extensive lack of focus on literary devices will result in a REDO grade (no points), not a REWRITE (70 points). Look at diction, metaphor, imagery, etc., and how the author’s use of these techniques establishes an ethical, logical, or pathetic appeal.
The earlier you turn in a draft that you expect to earn an 85 (only revision is needed) the more likely you are to eventually receive an 85 (your idea of what is revision-only and my idea of what is revision-only may differ) or 100 (because you’ve made the necessary revision, or you refined your essay on your own before you turned it in).
Paper should be about two-pages long, handwritten, or one-page long, typed, double spaced, 12-point Times New Roman or Garamond.
