Read the passage from "The Great Depression,” which is an informational text about one of the greatest economic recessions in history. The pain caused by the Great Depression was felt as far as Australia, where in 1932 unemployment reached a record high of 29%. Civil unrest became common. In France, the depression triggered street riots and strained the nation's social fabric by strengthening both socialists and their far-right opponents.

In Great Britain, industrial production collapsed, ship building dropped 90%, and in some towns unemployment reached 70%. In 1934, a "National Hunger March" of jobless workers turned into several days of street fighting in London, during which 75 people were seriously injured.

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"?
