Hello. You forgot to warn that this question is about the "Invisible Man" prologue.

Answer:

The text shows details that prove that the narrator exists without being perceived by anyone around him, so he starts to push people to prove that he exists. These details help to convey the message that not being noticed is lonely and that it makes a person doubt his own ability and relevance in the world.

Explanation:

The narrator is an invisible man. This causes everyone in the world to ignore you. His existence is irrelevant to the universe and all people follow their lives as if he does not exist and he is not noticed by anyone, this makes everyone bump into him all the time.

This makes the speaker live an extremely lonely life and makes him start to doubt his own existence and to prove that he really exists he starts to push people back.

The main message of the text is to show how human beings need attention, to validate them, to show that they are relevant. When that attention is withdrawn, human beings can respond with hostility as a way to resolve their internal doubts.

The central idea of the text is that human beings have always placed a value on the measurement of time.

<h3>How can we identify the central idea of a text?</h3>
  • Reading all the text.
  • Identifying the topic addressed.
  • Identifying the message conveyed by the text.

We can define the central idea as the main subject addressed in a text. In the case of the text shown above, this idea can be seen when the narrator explains the importance of measuring time and how it was necessary for humans since ancient times.

To establish this central idea, the author shows the moments in which the measurement of time is extremely necessary, in addition to showing how we would be lost without this measurement and how humans used to obtain it before the creation of the clock.

Theme and plot from chapter 9-12for lord of the flies
Radda [10]

Answer:

Simon awakens and finds the air dark and humid with an approaching storm. His nose is bleeding, and he staggers toward the mountain in a daze. He crawls up the hill and, in the failing light, sees the dead pilot with his flapping parachute. Watching the parachute rise and fall with the wind, Simon realizes that the boys have mistaken this harmless object for the deadly beast that has plunged their entire group into chaos. When Simon sees the corpse of the parachutist, he begins to vomit. When he is finished, he untangles the parachute lines, freeing the parachute from the rocks. Anxious to prove to the group that the beast is not real after all, Simon stumbles toward the distant light of the fire at Jack’s feast to tell the other boys what he has seen.

Piggy and Ralph go to the feast with the hopes that they will be able to keep some control over events. At the feast, the boys are laughing and eating the roasted pig. Jack sits like a king on a throne, his face painted like a savage, languidly issuing commands, and waited on by boys acting as his servants. After the large meal, Jack extends an invitation to all of Ralph’s followers to join his tribe. Most of them accept, despite Ralph’s attempts to dissuade them. As it starts to rain, Ralph asks Jack how he plans to weather the storm considering he has not built any shelters. In response, Jack orders his tribe to do its wild hunting dance.

Chanting and dancing in several separate circles along the beach, the boys are caught up in a kind of frenzy. Even Ralph and Piggy, swept away by the excitement, dance on the fringes of the group. The boys again reenact the hunting of the pig and reach a high pitch of frenzied energy as they chant and dance. Suddenly, the boys see a shadowy figure creep out of the forest—it is Simon. In their wild state, however, the boys do not recognize him. Shouting that he is the beast, the boys descend upon Simon and start to tear him apart with their bare hands and teeth. Simon tries desperately to explain what has happened and to remind them of who he is, but he trips and plunges over the rocks onto the beach. The boys fall on him violently and kill him.

The storm explodes over the island. In the whipping rain, the boys run for shelter. Howling wind and waves wash Simon’s mangled corpse into the ocean, where it drifts away, surrounded by glowing fish. At the same time, the wind blows the body of the parachutist off the side of the mountain and onto the beach, sending the boys screaming into the darkness.

Analysis

With the brutal, animalistic murder of Simon, the last vestige of civilized order on the island is stripped away, and brutality and chaos take over. By this point, the boys in Jack’s camp are all but inhuman savages, and Ralph’s few remaining allies suffer dwindling spirits and consider joining Jack. Even Ralph and Piggy themselves get swept up in the ritual dance around Jack’s banquet fire. The storm that batters the island after Simon’s death pounds home the catastrophe of the murder and physically embodies the chaos and anarchy that have overtaken the island. Significantly, the storm also washes away the bodies of Simon and the parachutist, eradicating proof that the beast does not exist.

Jack makes the beast into a godlike figure, a kind of totem he uses to rule and manipulate the members of his tribe. He attributes to the beast both immortality and the power to change form, making it an enemy to be feared and an idol to be worshiped. The importance of the figure of the beast in the novel cannot be overstated, for it gives Jack’s tribe a common enemy (the beast), a common system of belief (their conviction that the mythical beast exists), a reason to obey Jack (protection from the beast), and even a developing system of primitive symbolism and iconography (face paint and the Lord of the Flies).

Any more help just ask ;)
