The Blaine County Journal News-Opinion - We've Got The County Covered

The page Terry chose for students to create their response to Lord of the Flies was the scene where Golding juxtaposes the beauty of nature with the first attempted killing of a pig. Some students focused on the pastoral beauty of the mountain and flowers. Others zeroed in on the knife and the attempted kill. Although some of the outcomes were dark, Terry said, "Considering that the text pages were from Lord of the Flies, I wouldn't expect anything different." Overall, Terry expressed pleasure with how art encourages her students to explore the layers of meaning in a story and to build personal connections with it.
