Simon’s Terrible Realization
… and his gaze was
held by that ancient, inescapable recognition
(Page
138, Chapter 8: Lord of the Flies)
Question:
From our understanding of the novel,
what, specifically, is this ‘inescapable recognition’ (referred to above and
developed in the following pages of the chapter) in Lord of the Flies; what
is the greater meaning of this realization?
Pay close attention to what the pig’s head on a stick says to Simon by
the end of the chapter. Connect what the pig’s head expresses to the rest of
our work in the novel so far; discuss at least two other earlier chapters to
receive credit for your response.

Response:

realization is and what the ‘root’ of the problem is.
Use examples from Lord of the Flies itself to
support your claim (thesis: idea).
