Lord of the Flies Extra Credit

If you are interested in some extra credit, write either an epilogue (a brief description of what happens to the characters after the ending of the book--you can imagine them right after they get back to "civilization" or years later... up to you!) OR an alternate ending for Lord of the Flies.  Your response should be at least 400 words long and should be typed and printed.  Furthermore, the response should be in line with how Golding characterized his characters throughout the book.

DUE: Friday, May 9th (end of MP)
