1. read the following excerpt from ralph, jack, and simon’s exploration of the island:

here they paused and examined the bushes round them curiously.
simon spoke first.
"like candles. candle bushes. candle buds."
the bushes were dark evergreen and aromatic and the many buds were waxen green and folded up against the light. jack slashed at one with his knife and the scent spilled over them.
“candle buds."
"you couldn't light them," said ralph. "they just look like candles."
"green candles," said jack contemptuously. "we can't eat them. come on."

what does this moment tell you about the personalities of these three boys?
