 * __LETTER OF INTENTIONS__**

September 27, 2011.

Dear reader:

We would like to inform you that the topic of our essay for the Academic Writing course will be the use of symbolism in William Golding's //Lord Of The Flies.// For those who are not familiar with this novel, it tells the story of a group of boys who are abandoned in a deserted island after their plane crash. Distant from civilization and deprived of adult assistance, the boys try to organize a small society, but as their natural instincts surface, chaos is installed. The purpose of our essay is to inform the reader about the symbols present in the novel, what they symbolize and how they are used to convey the author's message. Additionally, the essay is intended for the students and the professor of this course, and we hope it will provide the readers with a new perspective on the Golding's novel. Also, we have read the book //Lord Of The Flies// and class material concerning the concept of symbolism, and we have also attendended a discussion about the topic. Therefore, symbolism is a key concept that we would like to use in our critical writing. That being said, we hope you enjoy reading our essay.

Sincerely,

Clara F. G. Sena and Franklin de O. Barreto
