In class today, first and forth periods discussed in groups a sociological analysis of the passage below from Lord of the Flies.

Roger gathered a handful of stones and began to throw them. Yet there was a space round Henry, perhaps six yards in diameter, into which he dare not throw. Here, invisible yet strong, was the taboo of the old life. Round the squatting child was the protection of parents and school and policemen and the law.

We’ll be writing about this passage as our second writing assignment for Lord of the Flies.

Second and seventh periods began their research project for the unit on justice.
