LOTF Reading Response

The author's use of symbolism in nearly every paragraph is something that I don't see often, and I enjoy thinking and reading between the lines. From Jack's authority shown in the form of the choir boys cloaks to the several inferences about pigs, Golding's symbolism is nothing to think lowly of.

I think that by speaking of Simon's seizures, Golding is foreshadowing his death. I also think that Piggy's roundness is adding more to the story than just his nickname.

  1. I also love to read in between the lines and have noticed the symbolism everywhere too. Good job Wyatt!

  2. I agree with you Wyatt. I love the symbolism in this book. It is cool that almost everything has some deeper meaning. Hopefully it continues.
