analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?

jeez la wheeze! i just checked other people who had the same question as you and both had terrible answers.

i hope i could be a little bit of a though!

hmm, lets see here. okay! so, i don't know the passages exactly since i haven't taken that quiz before, but! i will try to the best i can.

if you need on what igbo means, ill give you a hand.

igbo means a member of a people of southeastern nigeria.

so, they're asking you, "what passage uses igbo words or phrases and in at least 100 words, identify the kinds of context clues the author uses to hint at the words' meaning."

so basically, don't stress or over look this.

look closely at the passages and see if you can spot any of those hints! it doesn't have to be all, remember, its a quiz! no right or wrong answers.

the teachers are always there to and if you are struggling on this topic they will notice it in your score on the quiz and you.

(; i do hope this is useful to you!     < 3
