• List what you believe Golding’s dominant impression is meant to be

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

• After you have read the entire excerpt, find examples of Golding’s words and details that appeal to the following senses: visual (sight), olfactory (smell), gustatory (taste), auditor (sound), tactile (touch).

How do these elements of imagery add to the overall piece? What is their effect?
