The Effect

For your post/journal this weekend I want you to examine the effect of two of William Golding's decisions from the first page. This should equal two paragraphs.

A few tips:

• Embrace the fact that you have already read the entire book. Draw from other parts of the book to inform your analysis of the effect.
• Don't stop asking "what is the effect of this" until you absolutely can not dig any deeper. For example: Alliteration. What is the effect of this? Creates a rhythmic sound. What is the effect of this? Mirrors the sound of the ocean. What is the effect of this? Highlights the water locked setting. What is the effect of this? Associates the rhythmic consistency of the ocean to the programed nature of humans to follow a pattern. What is the effect of this? Creates an almost trance like mood. What is the effect of this? Develops the theme that human nature will always revert to a natural and instinctual pattern of behavior.
