One of the ways of looking at Lord of the Flies involves seeing it as an allegory about the conflict of Good and Evil, particularly as it relates to the Creation and Cain & Abel stories in Genesis. In a well-developed essay, analyze the allegorical connections between Lord of the Flies and The Bible, and discuss their overall effect on the novel.
Tips to success:
- Do not simply recount the plot or attributes of the character.
- You must cite specific evidence from both Lord of the Flies and The Bible.
- If you cannot find links to The Bible online, speak soon to Mr. Mikesell.
- If you do not believe the Biblical account of creation, do not waste time in your paper criticizing it. You do not have to believe The Bible in order to look at it as literature, as we are doing here.
- Extensive lack of focus on allegory will result in a REDO grade (no points), not a REWRITE (70 points).
The earlier you turn in a draft that you expect to earn a 70, the sooner you will stop needing to go to Patriot Academy to work on this assignment.
Paper should be about two-pages long, handwritten, or one-page long, typed, double spaced, 12-point Times New Roman or Garamond.
