Abstract:
This paper reconsiders William Golding’s Lord of the Flies. Allegorical writings can illustrate ethical, social or psychological and moral issues using the manipulation of images that have stipulated meanings other than their meanings as imitations of the actual world. Allegory has been used widely throughout history in all forms of art, and comprehensible for the reader, conveys hidden meanings through symbolic figures. Lord of the Flies had been written in relation to historical circumstances of the twentieth-century and to the personal experience of William Golding. Also, it has provided a critical analysis of the novel that treated the prominent perspective and elements in it. The novel is a parallel of life in the late twentieth century, while it looks like society a stage of enhancement in technology whereas, human morality is not completely mature yet. “Lord of the Flies is an allegorical microcosm of the world. The destruction of World War II because of the dictators who initiated this war has a profound impact on William Golding himself”. In the beginning, the paper gives an introduction to Golding’s point of view on humanity with the title of how to draw attention to me through allegory and fable, two forms of imaginative literature that encouraged the reader and listener to look for hidden meanings. Then it deals with William Golding’s Lord of the Flies from the cultural approaches of that time, who is one of the most prominent literary men of postmodernism that was famous for utilizing symbolism within the novel; “he used different kinds of symbols, characters, objects, animals, colors and setting to convey his message about his main theme”, in the last section we analyzed the postmodern features in Lord of the Flies and how they are used to depict Golding’s view. The way Golding uses allegory strengthens the symbolism of his novel. Finally, it tackles the educational value through his experiences in teaching along with critical analysis of Golding’s technique.

Abstract:
Some literature creates fictional worlds similar to the one we live in and others create worlds that are very different from ours. By inviting us to identify with characters, literature raises empathy.  William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies is viewed by many as an emotional novel that can make its reader feel fear, confusion, empathy and anger, which makes it a useful tool to use when teaching about empathy. Developing empathy is an important process and while we cannot teach empathywe can evoke empathy using literature. According to the Swedish curriculum, students should be able to empathize with and understand the situation of other people. This study will analyse and present the ways in which William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies can be employed to cultivate empathy using different hypothesis and techniques suggested by Suzanne Keen, and with a lesson plan given at the end of this essay. This essay argues that Lord of the Flies cultivates empathy using the character of Piggy. The passages where Piggy is bullied are closely interpreted, as well as passages with Ralph, Simon and Jack. The analysis show that Piggy’s vulnerability makes him the victim. Readers tend to empathize with characters that show a vulnerable side or that are treated unfairly. Piggy’s role in the narrative is to make readers feel empathy because of the way he is portrayed, a fat boy with short hair and bad eyesight. The lesson plan presented at the end of this essay will show how these passages can be used by teachers.

Abstract:
This paper argues that in Golding’s Lord of the Flies feminine thinking is rational and masculine thinking is emotional. This essay provides historical background that presents the general patriarchal view of femininity during 20th century England of being seen as the inferior-emotional gender with intellectual limitations. By examining gender roles during the era that the setting of the novel takes place, what the terms feminine and masculine thinking indicate and by applying these terms, this paper categorises Piggy’s, Ralph’s and Jack’s behaviour and way of thinking. Furthermore, this paper argues that feminine thinking and feminine group-oriented logical behaviour are more advantageous, while the masculine individualistic emotionally driven thinking and behaviour cause some key problems. This essay’s goal is not to claim the superiority of one gender over the other but to question some of the masculine actions that Ralph and Jack engage in, by comparing them to the feminine actions that Ralph and Piggy engage in.

Summary

One important theme in William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies is power. The boys in Lord of the Flies copy the behavior of their parents: competing, fighting and even killing each other for power. They form two groups, each following a different power system, the democratic system on the one side and the totalitarian system on the other.

My aim in this essay is to examine the complexity of these power systems in Lord of the Flies, revealed in the two layers in which they appear in the story, the boys on the island and the adults in their world. Moreover I want to show how Golding contributes both positive and negative traits to both systems, never falling into the habit of giving a black and white picture of either of the power systems. Overall I will focus on two boys, Jack and Ralph, exemplifying through them how the two systems gain their power, develop their structures, which methods they use to keep power, and how the systems handle crisis. At the end of my essay I then will shortly illustrate how Golding connects the adult world and their behavior to the boys’ story.

My conclusion is that Golding shows very clearly that the desire for power and the will to fight and kill for it exists in both adults and children. Overall his attempt is to illustrate that it is difficult to have an absolute, perfect and ideal power system. There are always things that can be criticized and improved. However, he does indicate that certain systems are more dangerous than others. The totalitarian power system can escalate much easier into savagery than the democratic system. So, Golding prefers power systems that benefit the community rather than only the leader himself.

Abstract:
The essay explored the connection between the deviation of the children’s behavioral patterns and the theory of psychoanalysis. Texts by Klein and Freud and also adaptations of their theories by Mangs, Martell and Salzberg-Wittenberg were used to explore whether the characters followed the developmental stages according to psychoanalysis. Through a comparison between the records of the characters’ behavior with diagnostic material regarding Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder composed by the American Psychiatric Association, the conclusion was drawn that the result of the analysis points towards the fact that the deviation in the behavioral patterns of the children was a result of the traumatic events that took place around them.

Abstract:
The Symbolism of Power in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies   An important theme in William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies is social power relations.  These power relations are everywhere on the island, and are shown at different levels throughout the novel. These power relations are illustrated by symbols in the novel, which center on two different power systems, a democratic system, with Ralph as the head, and a dictatorial system with Jack as the leader. Sometimes these symbols are tied so closely together to both power systems that they mean different things for each of them. The aim of this essay is to investigate the different kinds of symbols that are used in the novel, and to show how they are tied to its social power relations. Those symbols that I have found are always important items that either Ralph or Jack use intentionally or unintentionally. The use of symbols is crucial to this novel, thus Golding shows us that an item is more powerful than it first seems.

Abstract:
The aim of this essay is to show how to use William Golding's novel Lord of the Flies in the ESL classroom to teach democratic values. Such values include: respect, empathy and the right to free speech. According to Reader-Response theory, the reader brings expectations and knowledge about the subject matter (in this case democracy and its values) to the texts, which influence his/her interpretation. I have applied two different styles of analyzing a text: a Content-Based Approach and Simpson's Communication Triangle. The Content-Based Approach, in accordance with Reader-Response Theory, builds on students' knowledge and previous experience and focuses on the content to be acquired. The Simpson's Communication Triangle, on the other hand, connects reading, discussing and writing. Both of the approaches are designed to enhance the students' reading responses by providing different forums for sharing, such as discussions and writing (diary entries) from one of the character's perspective. The idea of creating Reader-Response journals is supported by multiple forms of theoretical study, and the assignments explained in this essay have been designed upon this research.

Full text
Abstract:

The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast the two novels by focusing

on leadership and group dynamics. First, I explain some general terms like

primary and secondary groups, leader and leadership, and five different

leadership styles (autocratic, democratic, laissez-faire, task-motivated and

relationship-motivated leader), and then I apply the terms to the novels. In the

analysis I examine how some followers and group constellations react to different

kinds of leadership, and how the three leaders choose to approach their roles and

why they become successful or not.

The effect the democratic leadership has on both leaders and followers differs

between the novels. Homer in Tomorrow, When the War Began trusts his leadership

skills and gets appreciation from the primary group of friends he leads, while

Ralph in Lord of the Flies is disobeyed and challenged by his secondary group.

The group of teenagers grows stronger together, while the island boys disband as a

result of the power struggle between Ralph and Jack. The latter trusts his charisma

and threatens and punishes the boys in order to keep them under control. Jack

seems successful as an autocratic leader, since his followers carry out his orders

and let him be the unquestioned leader, but he is in the final analysis unsuccessful

since he fails to put the needs of his followers before his own strong desire for

power. Both Homer and Jack are strong leaders of their own primary group, and

one argument why they are more successful than Ralph is the loyalty they receive

from their followers. However, the reason for their faithfulness differs. In

Homer’s case it is friendship, and in Jack’s case it is fear of what he will do to

them if they defy him.

Abstract:
What place does formulaic language have in literary criticism? On the one hand, as Douglas Biber (2006) suggests, repeating word combinations “are important for the production and comprehension of texts in the university” (p. 135). But on the other hand the repetition of stock or conventional phrases opens up academic writing to the charge of repetition, an act proscribed as ‘banal.’ So formulaic language is both good and bad: necessary but also necessary to avoid. And the study of literature might be especially subject to such folly, since the very epistemology of criticism is repetition – critics’ reproductions (through quotation) of an author’s writing, critics’ echoes of one another, secondary texts, etc. By necessity, a chorus of voices critiquing the same texts motivates the creation of conventional language – but what is this necessity? When is it generative, and when is it banal? Under the theoretical guidance of Relevance Theory, and using methods from corpus linguistics and the Digital Humanities, this work investigates formulaic language in a corpus comprised of literary criticism. Such criticism is 46 works on William Golding’s (1954) novel, Lord of the Flies. I also sketch the history of the theoretical concept of ‘collocation’—generally, the tendency for words to cluster around other words—and argue against the model of collocation that favours semantic conventionalization, where collocations are, essentially, coded with meaning. A main finding of this work is that collocations are often attributed to other speakers—real or fictional—and therefore their meaning is more pragmatically oriented than semantically conditioned. Data analysis is performed through automated rendering of the corpus using custom scripts, and qualitative analysis – of both the output of such rendering, and distanced reading of the corpus. The centerpiece tool of this work is a text-tool I developed that produces a visualization of terms’ collocates. This visualization is based on Howard White’s (2007a, 2007b) work in bibliometrics, and graphs collocations on two axes corresponding to the central tenets of Relevance Theory. Other quantitative methods of investigation describe the discovery of a term saliency metric (Chapter 2) and extended distributions of terms around other terms (Chapter 4).

The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a ubiquitous pest of fruit trees, causing significant economic damage both in the U.S. and in Israel. Control efforts in the future will rely heavily on the sterile insect technique (SIT). Success of such operations hinges on the competitive ability of released males. The mating system of the medfly is based on leks. These are aggregations of sexually signaling males that attract females (who then select and copulate a courting male). A major component of male competitiveness is their ability to join existing leks or establish leks that are attractive to wild females. Accordingly, we identified leks and the behaviors associated with them as critical for the success of SIT operations. The objectives of this proposal were to determine 1. what makes a good lek site, 2. what are the energetic costs of lekking, 3. how females choose leks, and finally 4. whether the copulatory success of sterile males may be manipulated by particular pre-release diets and judicious spatial dispersal. We established that males choose lek sites according to their spatial location and penological status, that they avoid predators, and within the lek tree choose the perch that affords a compromise between optimal signalling, micro-climatic conditions and predation risk (Kaspi & Yuval 1999 a&b; Field et al 2000; Kaspi & Yuval submitted). We were able to show that leks are exclusive, and that only males with adequate protein and carbohydrate reserves can participate (Yuval et al 1998; Kaspi et al 2000; Shelly et al 2000). We determined that females prefer leks formed by protein fed, sexually experienced males (Shelly 2000). Finally, we demonstrated that adding protein to the diet of sterile males significantly enhances their probability of participating in leks and copulating wild females (Kaspi & Yuval 2000).

Abstract:
House flies (Muscadomestica) are global pests of animal agriculture, causing major annoyance, carrying pathogens among production facilities and humans and thus have profound impacts on animal comfort and productivity. Successful fly control requires an integrated pest management (IPM) approach that includes elements of manure management, mass trapping, biological control, and selective insecticide use. Insecticidal control of house flies has become increasingly difficult due to the rapidity with which resistance develops, even to new active ingredients. Global climate change poses additional challenges, as the efficacy of natural enemies is uncertain under the higher temperatures that are predicted to become more commonplace in the future. The two major objectives of this research project were: 1) to develop a cost-effective autodissemination application method of Pyriproxifen (PPF), an insect growth regulator, for controlling house flies; 2) to study the effect of increasing temperatures on the interactions between house flies and their principal natural enemies. First, we collected several wild house fly populations in both countries and established that most of them are susceptible to PPF, although one population in each country showed initial signs of PPF-resistance. An important finding is that the efficacy of PPF is substantially reduced when applied in cows’ manure. We also found that PPF is compatible with several common species of parasitoids that attack the house fly, thus PPF can be used in IPM programs. Next, we tried to develop “baited stations” in which house flies will collect PPF on their bodies and then deliver and deposit it in their oviposition sites (= autodissemination). The concept showed potential in lab experiments and in outdoor cages trials, but under field conditions the station models we tested were not effective enough. We thus tested a somewhat different approach – to actively release a small proportion of PPF-treated flies. This approach showed positive results in laboratory experiments and awaits further field experiments. On the second topic, we performed two experimental sets: 1) we collected house flies and their parasitoids from hot temperature and mild temperature areas in both countries and, by measuring some fitness parameters we tested whether the ones collected from hot areas are better adapted to BARD Report - Project 4701 Page 2 of 16 heat. The results showed very little differences between the populations, both of flies and parasitoids. 2) A “fast evolution” experiment, in which we reared house flies for 20 generations under increasing temperatures. Also here, we found no evidence for heat adaptation. In summary, pyriproxyfen proved to be a highly effective insect growth regulator for house flies that is compatible with it’s natural enemies. Although our autodissemination stations yielded disappointing results, we documented the proportion of flies in a population that must be exposed to PPF to achieve effective fly control. Both the flies and their principal parasitoids show no evidence for local adaptation to high temperatures. This is an encouraging finding for biological control, as our hypothesis was that the fly would be adapting faster to high temperatures than the parasitoids. BARD Report - Project 4701 Page 3 of 16
