"Here the littluns who had run after him caught up with him. They talked, cried out unintelligibly, lugged him toward the trees.

Then, amid the roar of bees in the afternoon sunlight, [he] found for them the fruit they could not reach, pulled off the choicest from up in the foliage, passed them back down to the endless outstretched hands." Who is HE in this chapter, and this quote is an example of what literary device

Answer:

The "he" in the passage is Simon.

This quote is an example of symbolism.

Explanation:

William Golding's<em> Lord of the Flies</em> tells the story of a group of British boys stranded in a deserted island, and left to fend for themselves for survival. The story revolves around the theme of savagery and the struggle for power, away from a civilized world.

The classification of the group into <em>"biguns"</em> and <em>"littluns"</em> represents the strong and the weak, the older and the younger ones. Simon represents the middle ground of civilization and nature in one. As their stay in the island gets longer and they began to lose their sense of civilization, Simon represents the goodness remaining in a human. He felt the need to help the younger boys, thus pulling <em>"off the choicest (fruit) from up in the foliage, passed them back down to the endless outstretched hands"</em>. He is the remaining presence of goodness or humanity in the island, exerting kindness to others and helping those in need before his own needs.

This excerpt is an example of symbolism where Simon symbolizes the good, civilized world among the savagery of the other boys.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Behind Purgatoria's newfound car preference is a dramatic national comeback. Only 10 years ago, Italy was afflicted with a host of problems: terrorism, labor unrest, inefficiency. Although these issues have not entirely disappeared, today the streets and factories are relatively calm, and pride has replaced self-doubt. In a country unified only a little more than a century ago and traditonally wracked by regionalism, Italians are discovering a positive, new nationalism.

``We used to say we were Milanese, Roman, or Neapolitan,'' says Ernesto Galli Della Loggia, a history professor at the University of Perugia. ``We finally know what it is to be Italian.''

Why were so few civil war battles fought on northern soil?
slamgirl [31]
So let's make this simple, while most of the major battles of the Civil War were fought in Confederate territory, the battles of Antietam and Gettysburg took place inside the Union. Both were the result of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's attempt to reduce the pressure on the Confederate capital by striking north. Neither battle proved successful for the Confederacy, and both were typified by extremely high casualty counts.
