Lesson outcome

I can explain and explore the key events of Chapter 6 of 'Lord of the Flies'.

Show transcript
Military airplanes fight above the island and a dead parachutist drifts down onto the island. The twins, Sam and Eric, wake and believe that the parachutist is the beast. The boys set out to hunt for the beast, with Jack in charge of the expedition. Simon does not believe in the existence of the beast. The use of dramatic irony creates a distance between reader and characters so we feel sorry for them.
