Lord of the Flies Timed Write 3: Chapters 1-7

Rather than just assessing how well you understand the events of chapter 7, in light of what you learned today about the id, ego, and superego, you will be writing an LAP about how each boy (Jack, Piggy, Ralph) corresponds to a part of Freud’s structural model of personality. You will need to provide evidence for each boy that shows how he shares characteristics with/represents the id, ego, or superego, and then you will need to explain thoroughly how the evidence you have provided clearly proves that this is what he represents. This means that you will need to discuss what the id, ego, and superego each do and relate it to what the boys say, think, or do in the novel. You must provide sufficient evidence, at least two pieces of evidence per boy. Here is how I would recommend getting started: “William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies is an allegory for Freud’s structural model of personality, and he uses Jack, Ralph, and Piggy to represent the __________, ____________, and _____________, respectively.”
