Writing Prompt

How is Golding developing the theme of order vs. chaos (or civilization vs. savagery) in this chapter? Use evidence to explain your answer.

Key Questions


  • Are the littluns truly innocent? How is the symbolism of the littluns being developed in this chapter?
  • On p. 59 we learn that the littluns come when Ralph blows the conch. What does this tell us about them? About what they might represent?
  • What is Golding communicating to the reader through the littluns’ play? (e.g., Henry’s control over the fish; Maurice throwing sand, Roger’s choice to not throw the rock because of his “training,” not because he has a conscience, etc.)
  • How is Golding conveying the theme of order vs. chaos?
