Read the following group discussion about Lord of the Flies by William Golding, in which a group of children are stranded on a desert island. MARIA:So, in his article Kinski says that the message in Lord of the Flies is that civilization is precious and can easily slip away. EDGAR:I think that Golding's message is that civilization itself is kind of a myth, given that the story seems to take place in the middle of a war of some kind; the adults fighting the war aren't any better than the children killing each on the island. In other words, civilization can't "slip away" if it was never there to begin with. VICTOR:Kinski does tend to make a big distinction between "civilized" people and "uncivilized" people, like it's something that can be turned on and off like a light switch. That explains his attitude. RIKU:What I got out of Lord of the Flies is that civilization is a house of cards, built slowly over time, that can come crashing down at a moment's notice. Kinski didn't really seem to contradict that idea. MARIA:It sounds like you two have pretty different ideas about what Kinski was saying. We should look back at the article and find support for what each of us thinks about his opinion. VICTOR:Fine by me. I remember exactly where to look. Which student is most clearly determining new research goals?
