Summary of Chapter 6

    While the boys are asleep planes are fighting above the island, no ones sees the explosion because Sam and Eric (being in charge of the signal fire) fell asleep. Meanwhile, a dead parachutist fell out of the sky. When the twins wake up they are frightened by "it" which they assume as the beast. They run and tell Ralph describing this "beast". They decide that they should hunt it down while Piggy watches the littluns. Ralph decides he should go look for the beast when they get to the rocks beyond the "castle". Jack follows him in and they don't find the beast but the two boys start to get along better. They soon realize the fire is out and after much muttering everyone follows Ralph to the top of the mountain.

Symbol

“Ralph took the conch from where it lay on the polished seat and held it to his lips;...He handed the conch to Eric, the nearest of the twins.'We’ve seen the beast with our own eyes. No—we weren’t asleep—' “ (Golding 100 )This conch was a symbol that represents the remaining authority and peace in the tribe, which does decline. It develops the allegory by showing what civilization is

left at the current time

Connotation

-“He was back to where he came from, feeding the ponies with sugar over the garden wall. Then someone was shaking his arm, telling him that it was time for tea.“ (Golding 98)-This phrase connotes that Ralph is still young and yearns to be home, he needs guidance and he needs adults to be the authority and leading figures around him. It develops the allegory by showing how his character although being the leader needs one himself. It shows that all the boys are still young and shouldn't be dealing with the situation at hand,  therefore develops the allegory in terms of guidance and society.

Style of Characterization

The characters,of Ralph and Jack mainly, are developed alot in chapter 6 through actions. Their decision to climb the mountain  built the relationships between the boys, and even Ralph and Jack got a little closer, apparent by Jack's selflessness to journey into the cave to make sure Ralph was safe. "A sound behind him made him turn. Jack was edging along the ledge. 'Couldn't let you do it on your own.' " (Golding 106)

What character development technique is explained here? Please clarify.

Golding uses dialog to develop characters-“'Don't burn the lot,' said Eric, 'you're putting on too much.'“ (Golding 97)-This dialog shows how Eric is becoming a valuble member out of the boys and how he has become more involved in making decisions and other things, like the fire. It develops the allegory by showing that sometimes a person of originally low rank can work his way up to a rank of importance by perseverance and hard work.

This is not dialog. Dialog = 2 people talking

Golding uses character action to develop characters

-"He led the way over the rocks, inspected a sortof half-cave that held nothing more terrible than a clutch of rotten eggs,and at last sat down, looking round him and tapping the rock with the butt of his spear. Jack was excited.'What a place for a fort!' “ (Golding 106 )-This action shows Jack being child-like. He's still a boy and not old enough to be expected to deal with their current situation. It develops the allegory by showing that they are all still children. They need real authority above them.

Golding uses 3 plot devices to develop his allegory    Golding uses internal conflict, dialog, and external conflict. There is a heavy amount of internal conflict through all the boys, they each have their own opinion on how to handle the situation with the beast.There is extrenal conflict when the boys discuss it with each other, which also includes dialog. It develops the allegory by showing something that the readers can relate to.  

dialog and external conflict are not explained. You will need to make those slides. 

Internal Conflict

-"Ralph dismissed Simon and returnedto his personal hell. They would reach the castle some time; and the chief would have to go forward." -This shows that Ralph was frightened as well as everyone else. He was terrified of the beast and thought it to be real. The beast was really the savage within them and Ralph was scared of losing civilization and order amongst the boys on the island including himself. This develops the allegory by helping the reader understand not only the symbol but the conflict it's causing the boys on the inside, especially Ralph.

Foreshadowing-“He was back to where he came from, feeding the ponies with sugar over the garden wall. Then someone was shaking his arm, telling him that it was time for tea.“ (Golding 98)-This quote foreshadows Ralph going home. Also, the fact that the boys are trying hard to get home is brought up often, hinting that they may get rescued at the end of the story.

Style devices such as personification, metaphors, and similies support story development by giving the reader insight on what's happening in the story by using figurative languageThese are not mentioned anywhere in the presentation. You cannot conclude with new evidence

Characterization supports the story by showing how the author's character's develop and who they are which in turn helps you find symbols and archetypes and in the end it also helps you determine the allegory based on the characters .What are the techniques he uses? 

Plot devices including internal and external conflict supports the story by helping it advance and causing different events to occur which also helps develop the plot.Missing foreshadowing
