"Behavior is the mirror in which everyone shows their image."
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (German Writer and Politician)

Take a moment to reflect upon this quote. How can this quote be applied to the characters in Lord of the Flies?  In this assignment, you will choose one character to whom you feel this quote applies, and write a letter home from that character to one or both of his parents.  The letter should attempt to explain how this character views himself and his actions on the island so far. The letter will serve as a “message in a bottle” since all of the characters are stranded on an island. In the message, you may choose to have the character defend, justify, or condemn his actions, but your choice should be supported by evidence in the text.

Before you begin writing, access the Message in a Bottle Rubric to make sure that your include all of the items required for full credit.
