Discussed protection, taboo, and the loss of innocence using the following questions:

• What do you parents and guardians try to protect you from?
• What do you protect your friends from?
• What do you protect your self from?
• What did Piggy and Ralph protect (even if they didn’t know it at the time).
• Why don’t Jack and his hunters take the conch when they attack Ralph, Piggy, and Samneric (p. 168)?
• Should children be protected from witnessing bad or evil actions? What happens when children realize that people do bad things?
• What is the impact of experience on children and their process of maturation?

Came up with 6 word stories to summarize Lord of the Flies so far.
