karla says:
ok u kno lord of the flies?
the book?
steph says:
yeah
karla says:
i need to compare characters/tribes to allergories. theres a freudian allegory (comparing jack to the id, piggy to the superego, etc) political allegory (comparing democracy and dictatorship to the boys) religious allegory (simon is a martyr, jack is the force of evil, the island is the garden of eden) sociological allegory (island is a microcosm, the boys represent types of classes within a society), anthropolgical allergory (ralph jack piggy simon respresent forces at war within each of us, etc)
which one should i do
its so fucking difficult
i have to write 800-1000 words
steph says:
thats only like 3-4 pages
if you were going to go for superego id go for simon btw
karla says:
huh
well which one should i do
steph says:
b/c piggy was kind of a dick
idk
which do you know must about??
like topic wise
karla says:
political or freudian
which one has more to write about
steph says:
prob freudian but idk thats just me
political would be easier to find quotes for
karla says:
which one would you do
steph says:
freud
theres a lot of stuff for that but idk i cant really remember the book
karla says:
but like for freudian i can only compare three things, id superego ego
steph says:
can you use more than one character??
karla says:
idk i guess
steph says:
then just do one for each
like a page comparing jack to id simon to superego etc
and an intro and conclusion and youll be good
karla says:
how do i write so much..
steph says:
its not hard
like say youre doing jack for id find three quotes that back that up and write about them
like how they reflect diff aspects of it
karla says:
ok for the superego i do simon?
and for the ego

b/c he was just trying to seem like the nice guy but was really a dick
karla says:
