Grade 10: Lord of the Flies Chapter 2 (Due by midnight, Tuesday, November 2)
What do you think is the most important line (1-3 sentences) of Chapter 2? Why? Start by typing in the line and the page on which it occurs. Then, skip a line and compose your response.
"We're on an island. We've been on the mountaintop and seen water all around. We saw no houses, no smoke, no footprints, no boats, no people. We're on an uninhabited island with no other people on it".
Personally I think this is maybe not the most important phrase of the chapter but it makes me understand many things as that the group realizes that they are on a desert island by their own and as the quote says, they are by their own with no houses and non people but just them.
"Nobody knows where we are," said piggy. He was paler then before and breathless."perhaps they knew where we was going to, and perhaps not. Page34.
piggy said this line in the book,and he was brave enough to actually stand up and say this infront of all the other boys,because he was scared that their parents will never find them in the island although Ralph was pretty sure that his father would find them and save them..This line i think is important because Piggy is just in a way letting the boys know that they don't know what might happen they might not be found in the island and they might die there, or perhaps they might get rescued before they know it,Piggy is sort of telling the boys to get comfortable in the island now beacuse they don't know what might happen..Afer Ralph said his line about that they will find them and he knows that his father will find the boys Piggy says that "they don't know where we are cos' we never got there"..from my understanding piggy is really getting scared and worried about the whole thing.
the most important line of chapter 2 is : Pg .35 " He wants to know what you're going to do about the snake-thing." Ralph laughed , and the other boys laughed with him. The small boy twisted futher into himself. ......"A snake-thing . Ever so big .He saw it."
I think this is the most important part of charpter 2 . Connectiong to the end of this chapter , the boy with the "snake-thing " seem mysterious and have some hints to the readers. This is like a little climax to attract the readers' attentions.
