CHARACTERS: Man-in-rags
Jeb

Stage Set: An empty bus. Jeb is asleep on a seat near the backdoor. His hands are holding on to a backpack. A tour guide booklet is slipping away from his fingers. Faint light passes through the bus window in intervals. Man-in-rags climbs on the bus and sits only a few seats away from Jeb. Man-in-rags creeps toward Jeb and tries to reach for the backpack.

Jeb: (Twitches involuntarily and wakes up) Whoa! (Grabs his backpack tightly and looks up at Man-in-rags in anger) Just what do you think you were doing?
Man-in-rags: A hungry man just wants food.
Jeb: Oh, no. Where did they all go? (Gets up from his seat and looks around) They didn't even wait for me.
Man-in-rags: Every man is always looking for something. (Seems to reach inside his bag for something important and finally takes out a flashlight)
Jeb: Hey, did you see a group of tourists get off this bus?
Man-in-rags: (Turns on the flashlight and points it to Jeb's face) You look a lot like the man that stole my everything.
Jeb: Ha! (aside) Well, I better get off the bus. This man is scaring me. (Gets up to gather his belongings) There's no telling to what is coming.
Man-in-rags: Wait. Who taught you how to say that?
Jeb: Say what?
Man-in-rags: There's no telling.
Jeb: Everybody says that.
Man-in-rags: Not everybody in this part of the world says that.
Jeb: Everybody I know says that.
Man-in-rags: (Moves closer to Jeb and examines his face, his fingers shiver as they reach for Jeb's face) Heavens!
Jeb: This is creeping me out. Please back off, sir. (Heads to the exit door)
Man-in-rags: (Retreats, sinks to a chair, and lets out a moan) Linda! Linda May Lou. Oh, why did I ever leave you?
Jeb: (Turns around and returns to the back door of the bus) How do you know that name? (Sits on his knees and stares at Man-in-rags' face)

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

assignment

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"?
