PRESENTATION OUTLINE
The main heros of the story are piggy and Ralph. The main conflict they must face is keeping the group together and keeping away the rival tribe
The heros of my story can be classified under 2 different types of heros. They are misfit heros they are social outcasts, when the group splits most of the kids run away from them.
The heros are also "everymen" they try to do the right thing but what ever they do it seems to hurt more and more people
The heros live on a beach with other kids but later it's just them and two others
The heros have to go through trials or stages of being a hero. The stages that the heros go through in my story are IDENTIFICATION WITH THE MASCULINE & GATHERING OF ALLIES, and DESCENT into darkness,
“Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man's heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy.”
“Maybe there is a beast… maybe it's only us.”
“Which is better--to have laws and agree, or to hunt and kill?”
“I'm scared of him," said Piggy, "and that's why I know him. If you're scared of someone you hate him but you can't stop thinking about him. You kid yourself he's all right really, an' then when you see him again; it's like asthma an' you can't breathe...”
“He found himself understanding the wearisomeness of this life,where every path was an improvisation and a considerable part of one's waking life was spent watching one's feet.”
“There have been so many interpretations of the story that I'm not going to choose between them. Make your own choice. They contradict each other, the various choices. The only choice that really matters, the only interpretation of the story, if you want one, is your own. Not your teacher's, not your professor's, not mine, not a critic's, not some authority's. The only thing that matters is, first, the experience of being in the story, moving through it. Then any interpretation you like. If it's yours, then that's the right one, because what's in a book is not what an author thought he put into it, it's what the reader gets out of it.”
