where is the story? Then i can answer
The plane they were flying in was shot down, making it crash into a tropical jungle which caused the boys to be where they are.
<h3><u>
Explanation:</u></h3>
A group of school boys were being evacuated from an ugly war in Britain. They were being evacuated by an airplane. While the plane was in air, it was shot down and it crash landed the middle of a tropical forest. According to the text, as the plane crashed, it left a 'scar' on the ground of the forest.
After they crash landed, the boys on the plane were stranded. The boys assemble after one of the boys, Ralph, uses a conch shell to call out other boys. The boys make Ralph their leader who further instructs the boys to hunt for food. Furthermore, he asks boys to make prepare a fire to signal any passing planes and ships. But the boys were more into enjoying their time without the grown ups until they let a large portion of the forest catch fire, which presumably kills a boy. Circumstances make the boys transition from innocent to savage and bloodthirsty children desperate to survive.
As we read the conversation between Mr. Hooper and Elizabeth, we can see that Hooper is determined to continue to wear the black veil, no matter what it may cause.
We can arrive at this answer as follows:
- Elizabeth and Hooper are engaged.
- Their conversation started because Elizabeth demands to know why Hooper is wearing a black veil all the time.
- The black veil makes Hooper look somber and Elizabeth believes that, as his fiancée, she has a right to know why he is acting this way.
- However, Hooper is unwilling to either tell her why he is wearing the veil or stop wearing it.
- He believes Elizabeth should trust him as his bride.
The conversation between them shakes the engagement between the two, but Hooper shows that he will continue wearing the veil even if it saddens his fiancée and even if the engagement needs to be ended.
This question is related to "The Minister's Black Veil" by Nathaniel Hawthorne. In this story, we meet a Puritan town that is terrified of the town's minister's decision to wear a mysterious black veil.
