Chapter 12 Journal


Journal 12.  Now that you have read the novel and thought about it at length, pretend Sir William Golding is still alive, and write him a letter providing your thoughts about his modern classic.  Minimum 500 words.




Include:

  • What you liked and disliked about the book.
  • Things you didn’t understand.
  • A memorable scene, and why it stood out for you.
  • A favourite character, explaining why.
  • Moral or lesson you feel can benefit modern readers.
  • Three questions you would like to ask him. 
  • Anything else you would like to discuss.


Write each of the above sections in a separate paragraph in your letter.



Be sure to maintain a respectful tone as would be appropriate when writing to a world-famous author! Include a salutation and a closing.

Blog Responders:   Select three questions posed by one of journal writers and answer them from Sir William Golding's perspective.
