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
A. "Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,"
This is the correct answer, because Poe established his mood toward that specific night. Dreary means <span>dull, bleak, and lifeless; depressing, and the whole poem does not detour from that topic when reading past this quote.
"weak and weary"
Poe then makes known of his physical state of being tired and feeble, which can all relate to symptoms of depression, which again, stay all the way throughout the story.</span>
