Carrying a stick sharpened into a makeshift spear, Jack trails a pig through the thick jungle, but it evades him. Irritated, he walks back to the beach, where he finds Ralph and Simon at work building huts for the younger boys to live in. Ralph is irritated because the huts keep falling down before they are completed and because, though the huts are vital to the boys’ ability to live on the island, none of the other boys besides Simon will help him. As Ralph and Simon work, most of the other boys splash about and play in the lagoon. Ralph gripes that few of the boys are doing any work. He says that all the boys act excited and energized by the plans they make at meetings, but none of them is willing to work to make the plans successful. Ralph points out that Jack’s hunters have failed to catch a single pig. Jack claims that although they have so far failed to bring down a pig, they will soon have more success. Ralph also worries about the smaller children, many of whom have nightmares and are unable to sleep. He tells Jack about his concerns, but Jack, still trying to think of ways to kill a pig, is not interested in Ralph’s problems.
Ralph, annoyed that Jack, like all the other boys, is unwilling to work on the huts, implies that Jack and the hunters are using their hunting duties as an excuse to avoid the real work. Jack responds to Ralph’s complaints by commenting that the boys want meat. Jack and Ralph continue to bicker and grow increasingly hostile toward each other. Hoping to regain their sense of camaraderie, they go swimming together in the lagoon, but their feelings of mutual dislike remain and fester.
In the meantime, Simon wanders through the jungle alone. He helps some of the younger boys—whom the older boys have started to call “littluns”—reach fruit hanging from a high branch. He walks deeper into the forest and eventually finds a thick jungle glade, a peaceful, beautiful open space full of flowers, birds, and butterflies. Simon looks around to make sure that he is alone, then sits down to take in the scene, marveling at the abundance and beauty of life that surrounds him.
Answer:
Hi! I am afraid that your question is incomplete because you forgot to mention which book are you talking about. But, I did a little research on the Internet and I think I am able to answer it correctly.
From the options given, the one that best analyzes how Shaw draws upon the work of the Roman poet, Ovid, is A: Like Ovid's main character, <em>Shaw's main character portrays a level of disdain for women.</em>
Explanation:
First, let's say that we are talking about <em>Pygmalion</em>, by George Bernard Shaw, a play published in 1913. <em>Pygmalion</em> derives its name from the famous story in Ovid's <em>Metamorphoses</em>, in which Pygmalion feels disgusted by the loose and shameful lives of the women of his era. Due to this feeling, he decides to live alone and unmarried.
In this case, like Pygmalion (the main character from <em>Metamorphoses</em>), <u>the main character feels disgusted by them -women-, that is why the correct answer is A.
</u>
<h2>Answer:</h2>
C) build playgrounds,not shopping malls.
<h2>Explanation:</h2>
A persuasive essay is an essay which is used to convince a reader about a particular idea or plan that he believes in. A persuasive essay can be based on anything about which a person may have an opinion or that one can make a clear argument about. Since the C option tells us about an opinion and persuading us to build playgrounds rather than shopping malls that is why this can be put under the category of persuasive essays.
