QUOTES FOR LOTF Flashcards
(13 cards)
All round him the long scar smashed
into the jungle was a bath of heat
The creature was a
party of boys
JACK - Rescue? Yes of course! All the same
I’d like to catch a pig first
RALPH - We must make smoke on top of the mountain. We must make
a fire. A fire! Make a fire!
Round the squatting child was the protection of parents
and school and policemen and the law (when roger throws rocks at the littluns)
When roger opened his eyes and saw him,
a darker shadow crept beneath the swarthiness of his skin
Fancy thinking the beast was something you
could hunt and kill - LORD OF THE FLIES
Kill the beast! Cut his
throat! Spill his blood!
The rock struck piggy a glancing blow from the chin to the knee;
the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist
Ralph wept for the end of innocence,
the darkness of a mans heart
Maybe there is a beast…
maybe its only us - SIMON
the world, that understandable and
lawful world, was slipping away
the thing is - fear cant hurt you
anymore than a dream
