Another Lord of the Flies Question?

Question

Ok I've read the book but I need some answers to these following questions:

1.For what purpose does Jack use the chant and the dance?

2.Compare the dress and demeanor of the naval officer and Ralph? What is ironic about their difference?

3.Percival is inarticulate, what does that demonstrate about the boy's experience on the island?

Answer 1

Lord of the Flies is a classic in that it is assigned reading in many schools, both high schools and colleges.   As a result there are numerous free on line resources that can help you with your study of this novel, most of which analyze the story, discuss themes and symbolism and other literary devices, and give character sketches.  If you do a search you will find many helpful resources.  Additionally hundreds of questions have been asked here on Y!A about LOTF so do a search for it in the Yahoo Answers search window and you will find lots of Q’s and A’s that should help you.
