10H
LOF
I have posted the first four chapters' reading guide points previously, but here is a stripped down list of "red flag" items that you should be keeping track of during the reading.

Level 1 Characters (those we have the most contact with)
Jack, Ralph, Piggy, Simon, Roger, The Littluns

Level 2 Characters (those whose influence is felt, but who are not as direct/prominent/tangible)
"Back home" people, The Beast, LOF, The boys as a group, Samneric

Concepts/Symbols
Hunting, shelter, rules, conch shell, fire, Piggy's specs (glasses), the boys' physical appearances at various stages

Connections
Evolution from civilized to savage, personal relationships between the level 1 characters, how power is determined/cultivated/exploited, the balance of morality/compliance/compassion
