Reading Focus

    My focus in Lord of the Flies in religion. I'm pretty sure I picked the hardest topic of all. I haven't found a single reference so far outside of what Dr.D has already said in class. Every chapter I read, I look for things but I just can't find them. The one that Dr.D told me about was in the beginning of the book AND the bible so I'm thinking Old Testament as I read.
     That one reference so far has actually changed how the book has gone. With my religious reference, the kids have a little Garden of Eden. This random, uninhabited island has everything they could possibly want to live. It has given them food, water, shelter, and many other things. If this island didn't have any of those three things, then the kids would already be dead in my opinion. I think that religion will become a larger part in the book as we continue.

  1. I completely agree. The Garden of Eden idea has shaped the book. Maybe the fact that they treat it so badly is another part of the bible? Keep looking for things. Dr. D would not have assigned that as a topic if there was not something in the book on it and if it wasn't important.

  2. Garden of Eden, snakes, fires, and look closely at Simon's character
