This paper should be persuasive, answering the following question: Is William Golding saying that humanity is doomed?

You will use the traditional essay format, but this essay cannot be 5 paragraphs.  The paper should have a clear, arguable thesis statement that is bolstered by each of your main paragraph topics, examples and quotes.  This is not a re-telling of the story. 
Do not chronologically summarize the plot.  Instead, use people and incidents from the novel to create support for your argument.

The final paper should be 3-4 pages
