Explain how Golding describes the setting of the novel in chapters 1and 2 of The Lord of The FliesGolding has a style of contrasting the trustworthy things and the bad thingsabout the island in The Lord of The Flies. The author excessively describesthe setting by using imagery extensively.The author develops a official ambience of an uninhabited island bygiving the island features that the reader knows are much positivethan negative. An example of this is when the author describes a cwm on foliate 25. The author describes the boys position using Theywere on the lip of a cirque. The use of personification makes thereader order that the island is more like a person and not an evilthing. If Golding had used a sentence such(prenominal) as They were on the knifeedge of a cirque, then the reader would dedicate identified the islandwith images of danger and negativity.

This poses the question If things thatlive on the island cannot pass away how can a group of young school boysfrom a unalike region? It suggests that the children are going todie, just like everything else on the island. in conclusion everything onthe island dies, the island dies from the uncontrollable fire, the
