Are there any particularly interesting characters? Why? Have you noticed any major themes developing? Do you see any connections between your World Lit book and anything else you have read recently? - I'm loving this book, it is very interesting to read. There wasn't huge conflicts yet, It was about Ralph and Jack trying to manipulate other boys and assigned jobs to each people. I think Ralph and Jack are interesting characters, since they are one that who became leader and in charge of everything. Even though they are young schoolboys, they could control and make their community stable. I think I see themes developing, it's antagonist vs protagonist, Ralph and Jack have different ideas to control other people.

What do you think about your book so far? What are the main conflicts? Are there any particularly interesting characters? Why? Have you noticed any major themes developing? Do you see any connections between your World Lit book and anything else you have read recently?====== - I thought this book was very interesting. Main conflicts in this book are idea of protagonist and antagonist. Ralph thinks he needs to manipulate boys under the law, and act peacefully, on the other hand Ralph thought boys should not be controlled under the law, act violently. Later their tension reaches the maximum and lead to bloody actions. I think Jack is interesting, since he loses innocence, and idea of civilization and turned into cruel, bloody thirsty hunters. Major themes in this book are people lose their innocence and idea of civilization to survive. They are using their instinct to do whatever they can do to survive. Also it was Idea of antagonist vs protagonist, and shows how can this tension rise up to cruel actions. I see connections with Death of Ivan llych because Ivan llych was working so hard and his working life had absolutely taken his social life just to survive and improve himself. World Lit book Outline

1. In this story, plane that was carrying a group of schoolboys from Britain was shot down and landed on the deserted island. Schoolboys are using their instinct to survive and start to organize their community.Ralph and Jack rose up to become a leader. There had been a lot of tensions between Ralph and Jack because they had different ideas about manipulating people. Ralph believed that group should act peacefully and controlled by leaders, on the other hand Jack thought group should do whatever you fee like, and act violently. When tension between them reached the maximum, they lost their innocence, idea of civilization, and turned into bloody. Later they were rescued by naval officer, and finally realized how they changed and felt embarrassed.

2. Boys in Lord of the flies and Ivan llych has similarities and differences. Ivan Ilych life was centered on the work, and thought getting good job, higher society level, and good salary are the most important things in his life. He was working so hard for himself to make him more rich, and popular; therefore he's life was centered on work just to improve his life. Also in lord of the flies, boys were losing their innocence, and idea of civilization. They were doing anythings to survive, and doing goods that are only beneficial to them. Ivan Ilych had feared death, and upset that death is not avoidable. Also in Lord of the Flies, little school boys were feared about their death. They thought there was a beast, and was afraid of being captured and murdered. In Lord of the Flies, main conflict that's in the book was between idea that people should act peacefully, and be controlled under the law, and idea that people should act violently, and not be controlled under the law. Later this conflicts became violent and turn into bloody battles. There was huge conflict in Death of Ivan IIych, there was conflict between Ivan's social life and working life. In Ivan llych's life working had taken over his whole social life, and his life was absolutely about working. However later on he realized that he had done everything wrong and find the true values that are important.

3.I thought this book was very interesting, and I highly recommend this book, it describes instinct to survive of human by showing boys losing their innocence, and idea of civilization to just survive. Also it shows how conflict between 2 different ideas can be leading to bloody violent.
