Use the statement about William Golding's Lord of the Flies to complete the activity.

A plane carrying a group of young schoolboys flying from Britain to escape war is shot down. The plane crashes on a desert island, stranding the boys there with no hope of rescue. Together, the boys explore the island, elect a leader, and devise strategies in the hopes of attracting any nearby ships or planes so that they may be rescued.

At first, the boys enjoy their time on the island, free of the grown-ups who usually run their lives. However, because of this, they also begin to neglect the day-to-day necessities, such as looking for food or maintaining the signal fire. As a result, the group they've built begins to deteriorate, and an older, more savage boy takes over the group. A fear develops that there is a monster living in the jungle.

As order gives way to chaos, the older boys mistakenly murder a younger boy, set a fire within the jungle, and lead a manhunt for one of the boys. In the end, a British naval ship lands on the island to rescue the boys. Upon seeing an officer and learning that he is safe, the main character despairs in the idea that he will never be the same:

"Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of a true, wise friend called Piggy."

Write a paragraph identifying and explaining the theme present in this passage and how it relates to any universal themes.

Answer:

These lines from the end of Chapter 12 occur near the close of the novel, after the boys encounter the naval officer, who appears as if out of nowhere to save them. When Ralph sees the officer, his sudden realization that he is safe and will be returned to civilization plunges him into a reflective despair. The rescue is not a moment of unequivocal joy, for Ralph realizes that, although he is saved from death on the island, he will never be the same. He has lost his innocence and learned about the evil that lurks within all human beings. Here, Golding explicitly connects the sources of Ralph’s despair to two of the main themes of the novel: the end of innocence and the “darkness of man’s heart,” the presence of savage instincts lurking within all human beings, even at the height of civilization.

(1) Gwendolyn Elizabeth Brooks was an American poet. Her grandfather was a slave who fled slavery and later fought on the side of the Union in the Civil War. He was part of a pivotal era in American history. (2) His son married a teacher, and they resided in Kansas. The family sought the opportunities offered by a growing city and moved to Chicago when she was a baby. Gwendolyn Brooks was educated in Chicago public schools. She grew up in Chicago and stayed here for the remainder of her life. She traveled many places but always came back to Chicago. (3) Gwendolyn Brooks enjoyed the literary pursuits of reading and writing. She wrote extensively about her experiences, but she also wrote about urban lives—particularly those in Chicago. When she was just thirteen, a poem she wrote was published in a magazine. In time, she was published in the books of others, but she eventually authored entire volumes of her own poetry. She became an accomplished poet, well known in the United States and abroad. She won numerous awards for her poetry. It was not easy to get a job in writing, so Brooks worked for a while as a typist, putting the words of others in print. But she continued to write her own words, and these became important poems that inspired people throughout the world. (4) In addition to being a poet, she taught poetry to college students in the Chicago area. She taught them the importance of clarity in writing poetry. There are hundreds of people who learned from her in those classes, and several of them have gone on to write their own poetry. Most of them also read poems better because of learning from her how to look for the ideas they convey.(5) Illinois has a special role called Poet Laureate. Gwendolyn Brooks was named Illinois Poet Laureate in 1968, but this recognition didn't come until one year after she had already been named poet laureate for the whole country. She was very clear about her artistic priorities; the ideas a poet communicates—more than the prizes a poet may earn—are more important. But she earned many prizes. She is recognized today as a great poet and an important African American whose influence continues to be felt by subsequent generations. (6) When she was 83, she was diagnosed with cancer. Shortly thereafter, she died. Her death in Chicago in 2000 affected people all over the world. While countless numbers of people mourned her death, she had accomplished much in her life. She's an important part of Chicago history, African-American history, and American history, and her legacy is part of your heritage.

Why is it ironic (not expected) that the author describes Sam McGee as “…cool and calm…” at the end of the poem?

Use the paragraphs to complete the activity.


Patrick lived in Emoryville, but every Saturday morning he rode two city buses to his uncle’s bookstore in Northview, where he worked. He didn’t mind the commute because he loved his job. He loved spending time with his uncle, but he also loved going to work because he had become friends with Andrew, one of his co-workers. The boys would talk about everything from baseball scores to movies to favorite pizza toppings.


So this Saturday, when Patrick got to work, he and Andrew got to talking as they always did.


“Hey, Pat,” Andrew said casually.


“Hey,” said Patrick. “Did you have a good week?”


“Yeah,” he said. “Great week. My basketball team made it into the semifinals. The game is tonight. We’re playing Emoryville, our nemesis.”


Before Patrick could say another word, Andrew continued. “I don’t like Emoryville. I don’t think I could ever be friends with someone from that town. Our schools are such rivals.”


Patrick was speechless.


“Where are you from, Pat? I can’t believe I’ve never asked you that before!”


Patrick fumbled over his words. “Not too far from here,” he said before he quickly changed the subject to the new shipment of graphic novels.


Suppose Patrick's uncle enters the scene. In 3–5 sentences, explain how the additional point of view might add humor or suspense to the scene.

Read this excerpt from The First Men in the Moon

I do not remember before that night thinking at all of the risks we were running. Now they came like that array of spectres that once beleaguered Prague, and camped around me. The strangeness of what we were about to do, the unearthliness of it, overwhelmed me. I was like a man awakened out of pleasant dreams to the most horrible surroundings. I lay, eyes wide open, and the sphere seemed to get more flimsy and feeble, and Cavor more unreal and fantastic, and the whole enterprise madder and madder every moment.

Reread Emily Dickinson's Poem 26 below.
26

There came a wind like a bugle;
It quivered through the grass,
And a green chill upon the heat
So ominous did pass
We barred the windows and the doors
As from an emerald ghost;
The doom's electric moccasin
That very instant passed.
On a strange mob of panting trees,
And fences fled away,
And rivers where the houses ran
The living looked that day.
The bell within the steeple wild
The flying tidings whirled.
How much can come
And much can go,
And yet abide the world!

Emily Dickinson
