Deadline July 8th
- By this chapter, the boys' community mirrors a political society, with the faceless and frightened littluns resembling the masses of common people and the various older boys filling positions of power and importance with regard to these underlings( littluns). In short, two conceptions of power emerge on the island, corresponding to the novel's philosophical poles—civilization and savagery.
Look for quotations that support the following statements ( at least three for each one):
1) Some of the older boys, including Ralph and especially Simon, are kind to the littluns.
2) Others, including Roger and Jack, are cruel to them.
3) Since the beginning, the boys have bullied the whiny, intellectual Piggy whenever they needed to feel powerful and important. Now, however, their harassment of Piggy intensifies.
4) Ralph and Jack´s failure to understand each other's points of view creates a gulf between them—one that widens as resentment and open hostility set in.
