Pre-AP English II: Timed Writing Preview for 11/11

If you are going to be absent on Friday for the Veterans' Day Parade, please plan on staying tomorrow afternoon (11/10) to take your 6-weeks' timed writing exam. Here's the prompt:
Irony is one of the major literary components of Lord of the Flies. For instance, in the early parts of the novel it is ironic that Piggy is the person the boys should listen to, but Golding has characterized him in such a way that he is the last person the boys will listen to. In a well-developed essay explore and analyze the ironies of the final chapter of the novel and discuss their effect on the novel as a whole.

You will be allowed to use your copy of the text and your dialectical journal to help you write your essay.
