chapter 9 Flashcards
“even when the vessel broke in Simon’s nose…
and the blood gushed out, they left him alone, preferring the pig’s high flavour”
“he examined the white nasal bones…
the teeth, the colours of corruption” (the parachutist)
“how pitilessly the layers of rubber…
and canvas held together the poor body that should be rotting away” (the parachutist)
“Simon knelt on all fours…
and was sick till his stomach was empty”
“the beast was harmless and horrible…
and the news must reach the others as soon as possible” (Simon)
“even with great care…
the best he could do was a stagger” (Simon)
“and for pretending to be a tribe…
and putting on war-paint” (Ralph speaking about Jack’s tribe)
“Jack, painted and garlanded…
sat there like an idol”
“there were piles of meat on green leaves near him….
and fruit, and coconut shells full of drink”
“Jack rose from the log…
that was his throne”
“power lay in the brown swell of his forearms…
authority sat on his shoulder and chattered in his ear like an ape” (Jack)
“Come on. There’s going to be…
trouble” (Piggy speaking to Jack)
“Do our dance!…
“Come on! Dance!” (Jack)
“Roger became the pig…
grunting and charging at Jack”
“the hunters took their spears…
the cooks took spits and the rest clubs of firewood”
