lord of the flies quotations learn Flashcards
small flames
stirred at the hole of a tree and crawled
dividing and
increasing. one patch touched a tree trunk and scrambled up like a bright squirrel
the two boys
face eachother … longing and baffled common sense
passions beat
about simon on the mountain top with awful wings
puff by puff
the breeze … blue flowers, over the boulders and red stones … here the breeze was fitful … the parachute to tangle and festoon and the figure sat
over the
island the build up of clouds continued. a stead current of heated air rose all day
revolving
massed of gas piled up the static until the air was ready to explode. by early eve i g the sun had gone and a brassy flare had taken the place of clear daylight. even the air that pushed in from the sea was hot and held no refreshment
drained from water
and trees and pink surfaces of rock, and the white and brown clouds broaden
a thing was crawling
out of the forest. it came darkly, uncertainly. the shrill screaming that rose before the beast was like a pain
the blue-white
scar was constant, the noise unendurable. simon was crying out something about a dead man on a hill
at once the
crowd surged after it, poured down… screaming, struck, bit, tore … tearing of teeth and claws
the rock struck
piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee
the conch exploded
into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist
piggy, saying
nothing, with no time for even a grunt
travelled through
the air sideways… turning over as he went
