Read the excerpt from Does My Head Look Big in This? by Randa Abdel-Fattah. Now the next thing, and it’s really very simple, is that while I’m not going to abandon my fashion sense—you’d better believe I’d never give up my shopping sprees—I’m sick of obsessing about my body, what guys are going to think about my cleavage and calves and shoulder-to-hip ratio. And for the love of everything that is good and holy I am really sick of worrying what people are going to think if I put on a few pounds or have a pimple. I mean, homeroom on Monday morning can be such a stress 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"?
