Today's Focus: Symbolism, Motif, and Theme in Lord of the Flies

Journal #9: Reflect on the following quote… “The ship of democracy, which has weathered all storms, may sink through the mutiny of those on board.” - Grover Cleveland

Journal #10: Riddle Time! You're in a mansion and the power is out. You see a green door and a red door. Pick one (it doesn't matter which). Now you see a purple door and an orange door. Pick one (again, it doesn't matter which you pick). Now you see a door with a golden handle and a door with a silver handle. Pick one. You finally come to some signs on three doors. One says, "Death from drowning." Another says, "Death from machine guns." And the last one says, "Death from electric chair." Then you see a big sign off to the side that says, "Or stay in the mansion and starve." What do you choose and still live?
