    LOTF SOCRATIC SEMINAR PREPARATION
    Members
    Directions: Respond with personal experiences, and textual evidence from
    Lucidchart the novel Lord of the Flies. Find supporting passages from the novel, you
    should paraphrase, and be prepared to provide commentary that links the
    Tutor.com
    evidence to the point you’re making. You should have two
    Zoom references/examples for each answer with at least ONE of them being from
    the book and commentary for both. Please prepare your answers on a
    Information separate sheet of paper. Staple that sheet to the back of this sheet. I will
    Grading periods
    collect them as a formative assignment grade at the end of your seminar. You
    2023-2024YR, 2023-2024Q1, may NOT use your computer or phone at all on this assignment. You may use
    2023-2024Q2, 2023-2024Q3,
    2023-2024Q4
    your LOTF literary device tracker notes sheet. We will start with you picking 5
    responses to work on, and may add more depending on time.
    Tips for a successful seminar:
    ● Prepare clear, specific responses to the following questions
    ● Speak early and often, so that you can earn the most possible points in
    the seminar
    ● Agree or disagree with your classmates, but you need to make sure
    you have evidence to support your assertions
    ● You may use this sheet any and all novel or research related prep that
    may be relevant to a question
    ● Organize your supplemental information so that you are NOT searching
    for responses and wasting time during the seminar

    1. Did any of the boys show courage and if so, how and what kind? Are
    people courageous by nature or is courage developed through experience?

    2. What is it that creates civility from savagery? Are we (as humans) naturally
    more civilized or more savage, and who defines what is civil or savage?

    3. Should duty be fulfilled and loyalty be obeyed no matter what the


    circumstances are? Is there a clear difference between duty and loyalty in this
    novel?

    4. In a questionnaire, Golding described the theme of Lord of the Flies as “an


    attempt to trace the defects of society back to the defects of human nature.”
    What does he mean by this? How does he try to convey this in the novel?

    5. Discuss the purpose and effect of any of the symbols in the novel? Why are
    they important to the text? What would happen without these symbols?
    (see power point for symbols)

    6. In conflict, is there necessarily a good and a bad/ a right and a wrong? Can
    conflicts ever truly be resolved?

    7. Is it ever “okay” to use chaos or force to rule over a group? Why? What
    advantages and disadvantages? How do we maintain “order?”

    8. What happens literally to the boys, and what is the author saying
    metaphorically about the structures of civilization and society?

    9. How does fear affect actions and words? What happens when it is
    confronted compared to when it is ignored?

    10. Why do you think Golding chose to use young boys in this novel to prove
    his point about society? Explain how things may have changed if an adult
    were present on the island.
