Lesson:
We took a YIRTB quiz in class
We went over the last readings and over Freud's ideas of an Id, Ego, and Super Ego. If absent, look these up on-line and answer the following questions:
As the boys' stay on the island lengthens and the savagery increases, how is Freud's concept of behavior apparent?
Consider the id, ego and superego for the following characters and describe an example from the novel for each:
Jack
Ralph
Piggy
Roger
Simon
We then did a writing exercise. Reread the start of chapter 10 where Ralph and PIggy talk about the murder of Simon but don't REALLY talk about it. Now you try this:
Choose one of the scenes listed below and write a conversation between the two characters. Use dialogue and characterization only to make the situation clear to the reader, but never state the problem/ conflict directly!!
A. You have just told your best friend that you agreed to go on a first date with this great guy/gal you’ve met. You are ecstatic and can’t stop talking about all the great qualities he has. Your best friend has always had a crush on your new boyfriend/girlfriend, but has never had the courage to ask him/her for a date. She doesn’t want you to know, but it’s difficult for her/him to hide their disappointment.
B. Two teenagers bump into one another in the school halls. He loves her but she thinks he’s very uncool. Show the interaction that occurs between them.
C. You’ve just overheard your friends spread rumors about you to a group of classmates. You are obviously hurt but try to pretend nothing has happened. Your friend has no idea you were eavesdropping. He walks into the classroom for 1st period and sits down next to you. Take it from here…..
Turn this writing in to class next time if you were absent.
