Pre-AP English II: Timed Writing Preview for 10/21

Below is the prompt you'll be writing on in class.

Authors often use physical changes of characters or the setting to suggest to the reader that deeper changes are going on beneath the surface of the story. Consider the section of Lord of the Flies that begins on page 62 with the single-word paragraph

"Roger."

and continues through the end-of-the-section break on page 64, and then write a well-constructed essay discussing how Golding uses literary devices (including, but not limited to, diction, imagery, metonymy, simile/metaphor, etc.) to suggest a significant transition is occurring in the story.

Because we will have a shortened class time tomorrow (due to CAT), you will not necessarily finish your paper. However, your essay must be well-structured (thesis paragraph, logically ordered body paragraph(s), appropriate evidence embedded in your writing, etc.) and well-enough along that I can fairly speculate on a rating.

You will need to use your copy of the book to write your essay, and any notes you may have written there may be used to your advantage on the timed writing.
