Literary Analysis

      The most difficult part in writing my literary analysis for Lord of the Flies was making sure that all the paragraphs connected with each other and flowed naturally. I had to edit it multiple times to make sure that they made sense chronologically, and I also needed to make sure that I did not feel awkward reading them aloud. One other difficulty that I experienced while writing my literary analysis was, oddly enough, trying to minimize the use of the word "boys" as much as possible. When writing, I discovered it hard to describe the boys on the island with any other words than "boys". Eventually, I did find substitutes such as "group" and "savages", but it definitely was a major roadblock for me, as weird as that may sound.
      I had a lot of my peers asking me how to start an introduction and end a conclusion. I would recommend writing your thesis as the last sentence of your introductory paragraph, and try to fill in the previous sentences with the context for your thesis, such as how you reached that thesis statement. For the concluding paragraph, I suggest restating your thesis last and using the previous sentences to explain how your supporting paragraph leads up to that thesis. Hopefully this helped, and once again,
