HELP PLEASE The bed was good, and the pajamas of the softest silk, and he was tired in every fiber of his being, but
nevertheless Rainsford could not quiet his brain with the
opiate of sleep. He lay, eyes wide open. Once he thought
he heard stealthy steps in the corridor outside his room.
He sought to throw open the door; it would not open. He
went to the window and looked out. His room was high
up in one of the towers. The lights of the chateau were out
now, and it was dark and silent, but there was a fragment
of sallow moon, and by its wan light he could see, dimly,
the courtyard. There, weaving in and out in the pattern of
shadow, were black, noiseless forms; the hounds heard
him at the window and looked up, expectantly, with their
green eyes. Rainsford went back to the bed and lay down.
By many methods he tried to put himself to sleep. He had
achieved a doze when, just as morning began to come, he
heard, far off in the jungle, the faint report of a pistol.

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"?
