  • In what ways does William Golding use the concept of fear as a controlling factor in his story, to the point that fear is almost its own character? What comment do you think Golding might be making about fear, and HOW is he manipulating characters and situations to communicate this message to you? (Keep in mind what Golding had just witnessed happening during WWII, particularly during his participation in the Royal Navy and experiencing things like the sinking of the Bismarck, and the landing at Normandy.)
Make sure your essay has a thesis statement that contains an arguable claim and then supports that claim in your body paragraphs. This essay does not need a conclusion. I want you to focus on introducing your topic, creating a thesis, and supporting that thesis with textual evidence.
