1. John's hands trembled in the cold as he fished through his coat pockets for a match. He had
already gathered scraps of wood and piled them up to make a fire. Now, he had to figure out
how to kindle it. The sun had already set and all light was quickly fading from the sky; John
could feel the temperature dropping just as rapidly. Without a match, there was no way to get
this fire going, and without a fire, he wasn't sure how he would survive the night. Nobody
knew he was stuck out there, alone, without food or shelter. His best hope was to try to avoid
freezing, then head out at dawn to find help.

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"?
