English 12-2

You have some things to do for Monday: 1.  Study for your LofF test!  It's scheduled for Monday.  Know the novel, H.O.T.S. questioning and rationale, novel elements, etc.  2.  Golding ends LotF with a deus ex machina: an unlikely (and unsatisfactory) ending.  You've said it yourself!  So, fix it!  You are to backtrack to where Ralph is being hunted...and rewrite the ending of the novel to one that is satifsfying for you.  You may not use a deus ex machina or a cliff hanger.  You need to take the role of narrator.  It needs to be fitting to this classic; don't be cheap!  If it means you write an extra chapter or two...do so!  Min. 2 pages.
