Lord of the Flies- Pre read activity

In order to achieve a ‘perfect society’ or utopia, on an uninhabited island, it would necessitate a large group of people that can cooperate, organize a plan, and act on that plan. An ideal civilization would also inculde a well functioning democracy, where the citizens can vote, and committees check over all aspects of life. This government would also need to have a law and punishment system. This system would keep the citizens in check to make sure everything is running smoothly. Punishments would be a deprival of rights for a short while, and to ensure that the criminal learn their lesson, and would no longer disturb the peace of the society.  The laws of this utopia would be similar to what America’s laws today are, which means murder, thief ect.. would be unacceptable.

This island that we landed on would be 3 miles by  4 miles, we would use as much space as possible so we could expand our agriculture. This tropical island would also be scattered with palm trees, and in the center would be a thriving rainforest with an abundance of water. The rain forest would supply my utopia with water and food. Then in a more dry area, a little ways out of the rain forest would be where we would set up our shelter. Here we would have a lot of houses that protect each group of people from the dangers of the outside world.  The larger buildings would be dedicated to storing medicine, food, and water. Doctors would be needed to fulfill the role of aiding those in need. Then hunters would supply the society with food and water.  The rest of the citizens would either help build structures or be a teacher. Education would be a major part of the eutopia, every person is required to have a some sort of degree of education. This would ensure that at citizens are helping the community at large and benefitting off each other.
