Do Now:
Analyze the following passage from last night's reading. Who does this passage describe? What does this passage reveal about the character? What does it reveal about the nature of the beast?
"They were waiting behind him in the long grass, waiting to see what he would do. He noticed that the sweat in his palm was cool now; realized with surprise that he did not really expect to meet any beast and didn't know what he would do about it if he did."
Good Morning!
Yesterday we continued to analyze Lord of the Flies as a psychological allegory and discussed "Beast from Water." Today we will continue to discuss "Beast from Air" before learning about universal characters, or archetypes.
