Alright, lord of the flies !! quite a good book, in my opinion. here’s what i think about the questions, and what my answers are! i had similar questions last year, about LOTF.
1. LOTF takes place on an unnamed island in 1950, during a worldwide war.
2. at first, the boys are scared. they don’t know how they’ll survive without the people who have been doing basically everything for them for their lives, so far. their initial reaction, because of this, is to panic. nobody was following or “laying down” any rules at this point, they were just looking for things to get them through the night.
3. unlike the rest of the boys, ralph doesn’t quite go “crazy” at the beginning. he is nicer to piggy than jack, and tries to be civil, despite being trapped without any adults in sight. ralph has the characteristics of a great leader, including kindness, responsibility, the ability to work hard and stay strong, and of course, popularity. he became chief for these reasons, mainly, and that’s what sets him apart from the other boys.
4. simon is the “bright” one amongst the boys. he knows much more than they do, thus making him a valuable “asset”, in some of the boys’ eyes. however, he is also quite the mysterious character, as we see him first introduced as member of jack’s choir. some of his unique traits are his helpfulness and loyalty. he stays loyal for the duration of his life on that island, which is something the other boys could never do.
5. the first two chapters are more of introductions, than anything else. chapter one is the full introduction to the main idea of the story, who the characters are, and what their long-term goal is throughout the book. the boys are in fear more than anything in the first two chapters, making them have little to no action. chapter two includes some pieces such as what their plan is as to how they’ll get out, what lifestyle they develop, and how they’ll survive without their parents—or any adults—around.
i hope this was able to help you !! i’d really appreciate brainliest
1. It reflected the purpose of her speech as it provided clarity for her determination to protect her kingdom against European powers/invaders.
2. The main goal of the crusades by the Europeans was to install a Catholic ruler in England and this was resisted by Queen Elizabeth 1 who wanted England to be a Protestant or Anglican state.
Explanation:
Parallelism is the use of the same grammatical structure in a text. It provides contrast and balance in the text. It also helps to establish clarity in the intentions of the writer. Queen Elizabeth 1 made good use of parallelism by providing contrasts and comparing the things she could tolerate and the ones that could not be tolerated. Her speech is made up of contrasts used in the same lines to make her points stand out and to remove any doubts in the minds of her subjects.
For example, she said that she was there as a monarch 'not for her recreation or disport but for the heat of the battle, and if necessary to die for her subjects'. This would make her intentions stand out in the hearts of her subjects.
