Lord of the Flies, 1-2

For the duration of the novel, you'll be using your Twitter account again to evidence your reading. For each chapter, label your "tweet" and post a compelling thought or question. If you need more than one post for a given chapter, be sure to label it well. Proper mechanics still apply, but citations are unnecessary after an initial reference
