More Detailed Instructions:
1. Write an epigraph for any five chapters of Lord of the Flies. You should think about anything you’ve read or heard that has a close connection to one of the chapters. For instance, there may be a quote in a song you like that says, “We are nothing on our own; we are everything together.” You may think to yourself that this captures the essence of the second chapter, where Ralph and Piggy are intent on working together to explore the island and make a plan for the future. You can include this quote as your epigraph. Do not quote from Lord of the Flies.
2. Include the source. That means that below your epigraph, you will indicate where you got it from. Perhaps the song is called “Everything We Are” by Ramin Fang. Include this. If the quote has a speaker, include the speaker’s name, if possible (see the example below).
3. Write 4-5 sentences explaining why you chose the quotation you did, and how it connects to the chapter.
Example:
“Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy.”
• Miss Maudie Atkinson, To Kill a Mockingbird
I would include this quote in Chapter 9 because the quote is about innocence. Mockingbirds are harmless, and Miss Atkinson feels that things that don’t hurt others should not be hurt themselves. This is perfect for the ninth chapter because Simon represents innocence and purity, as he is depicted as Christ. The same way Christ is sacrificed for humanity and innocent lives are taken in To Kill a Mockingbird, Simon too will suffer. This epigraph foreshadows the events of the chapter and connects to the theme of lost innocence.
