Today I lectured on the Freudian concept of the Id, Super Ego, and Ego, and how this theory of mind relates to Jack, Piggy, and Ralph. Here is one handout. Here is a copy of notes I put on the board.

Then we discussed the main characters in Lord of the Flies, and what their rooms back home in England would have looked like before the war, and then, after their experience on the island, back home after the war. Creating models, diagrams, or illustrations of these rooms will be a major project next week. The project will be due on Wednesday or Thursday.

Here you can see the notes from the lecture.
