Since William Golding's novel is an allegory, the main
characters represent types and objects are often symbolic. So, as another suggestion
for the double entry journal, you may wish to look in Chapter One and then some later
chapters for descriptions of such prominent characters as Ralph, Piggy, Jack, and even
Roger, who is by nature sadistic.
In Chapter Four, for
instance, there is a short passage, perhaps of interest to you, in which Roger wants to
throw a stone, "that preposterous element of time," at the unsuspecting Henry, who plays
by the seashore. But, something prevents him from hitting Henry because his arm has
been "conditioned by a society in ruins that knew nothing of
him."
You may wish to look at the themes and the style of
Goldings novel by clicking on the sites below. With these themes in mind, you, then,
can find some relevant passages.
