Read the excerpt from "A Quilt of a Country." Which sentence from the excerpt best reveals the
context of the excerpt?
Once these disparate parts were held together by a
common enemy, by the fault lines of world wars and
the electrified fence of communism. With the end of
the cold war there was the creeping concern that
without a focus for hatred and distrust, a sense of
national identity would evaporate that the left side of
the hyphen-African-American, Mexican-American
Irish-American-would overwhelm the right. And slow-
growing domestic traumas like economic unrest and
increasing crime seemed more likely to emphasize
division than community. Today the citizens of the
United States have come together once more
because of armed conflict and enemy attack

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"?
