Lord Of The Flies

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is dedicated to exploring the concept of propaganda within the context of William Golding’s novel “Lord of the Flies.” It is designed to help students understand the use and impact of propaganda techniques in literature. Initially, the worksheet prompts students to define propaganda, setting a foundational understanding of the term.

Subsequent questions guide students to identify which character in “Lord of the Flies” employs propaganda, describe the nature of the propaganda used, and discuss the character’s motives behind utilizing such tactics. This inquiry not only reinforces comprehension of the novel’s plot and characters but also encourages critical thinking about the persuasive strategies characters use to influence others within the story. The final question challenges students to discern the specific propaganda techniques employed by the character, which deepens their analysis of the text and provides insight into how language can be wielded to manipulate belief and behavior. This reflective exercise is an excellent tool for combining literary analysis with an understanding of broader communication concepts.
