This shows what Piggy thinks of the people walking up the mountain, not simply his immediate reaction. (I've never read the book but I'm assuming this was said by Piggy)
c. Like kids' he said scornfully. "Acting like a crowd of kids".
Explanation:
William Golding, a British writer and Nobel Prize winner wrote his "Lord of the Flies". It is about a group of stranded boys trying to govern themselves on an island and surviving by themselves until rescue comes.
In chapter 2: Fire on the Mountain, Ralph, the 'chief' of the group can be seen suggesting they make a smoke signal so that any passing ship may see it and rescue them. This is in the interest of everyone's safety and sure rescue, which Piggy did not wholly support. For him, he thinks that it is best to be organised first and then think of the rest. For his part, he thinks that making of the smoke signal can be done later. So, when they all went to the top of the mountain to make the smoke signal Piggy thinks that thy are Like kids' he said scornfully. "Acting like a crowd of kids", whichbest describes his feelings after the boys head up the mountain to build a fire.
