#1

I could remember like it was yesterday, the skies grew dark and there came a loud cracking sound that filled the night. The air smelt of rain and dust, I was six years old and i was scared out of my mind, so i went to my older brothers room to find he was awake. The next thing that happened surprised me.
"Can't sleep little Dove?" He asked with concern in his voice.

Passage

Jarvis sat, deeply moved. Whether because this was his son, whether because this was almost the last act of his son, he could not say. Whether because there was some quality in the words, that too he could not say, for he had given little time in his life to the savouring and judging of words. Whether because there was some quality in the ideas, that too he could not say, for he had given little time to study of these particular matters. He rose and went up the stairs to his room, and was glad to find his wife not there, for here was a sequence not to be interrupted. He picked up the Abraham Lincoln and went down to the study again, and there opened the book at the Second Inaugural Address of the great president. He read it through, and felt with a sudden lifting of the spirit that here was a secret unfolding, a track picked up again. There was increasing knowledge of a stranger. He began to understand why the picture of this man was in the house of his son, and the multitude of books.

Cry of the Beloved Country.

Paton develops him male gender roles more then he does the women's gender roles. It seems at though Paton takes a better liking to male gender roles. Male are treated much better then females; females then are treated as if they are not equal to men. In South African society women are defiantly not equal to men, they are second class citizen, if they are black ( for the lack of better terms.) they a like scum on the floor. The females cook and clean. "Suffering black women."(40) The word black is used instead of African.
" with so many streets they say a man can spend his day going up one and down another." (42) The author could have used the word people or some other word that could refer to both genders being equal. In those two quotes is shows that women are different from men, and not treated as equals.

Power structures

In LOTF Ralph is in power for a lot of the story, until jakc decieds to become a savage and starts to steal. Now in the power of one pk isn't really in charge of what happens to himself. When he gets peeded on his doesnt really take contorl or do anything. He at that time is just a little kid who can't defend him self.  Very much like Piggy you could say aginst Jack. As PK gets older he starts to understand the world better, but the kids in LOTF don't understand it very well.

Key passage #4

" He caperd toward's bill, and the mask was a thing on it's owen, behind which jack hid, liberated from shame and self-consciousness."
Jack's mask is a symbol of Civilzation. Hi's maks implies that he is no longer the the shame little boy who couldn't kill the pig, and is not afrida to be him self. The mask, basicly is Jack losing all of civilazed way of living and turing into a savage beast. Showing that one possible theme for this book is a loss of order and rules.

Lord of the Flies key Passage #1. p. 31

In this key passage, it feels like you are hunting with the boys. Thus showing us, that Golding is using imagery, to make the it feel like you are in the book with them hunting. You can start to see how Jack is starting to become less civilized. When Jack pauses to cut the piglets throat, it's like there is a struggle between what civilized brain wants him to do, and what his instincts tell him to do. As jack is walking a head of the other boys he takes out his knife from the sheath and slammed it into the tree, showing that Jack is angry. Jack is angry because he is criticized because he did  not stick the piglet. This also shows us that Jack has some resentment  toward Ralph. As told in third person, this passage make you feel at home with the characters, it's all most as if you are the characters. Something else that could be noticed is the way the author uses some of the words that other people would most likely use differently. Such as the word hiatusGolding used both words pause and hiatus. With hiatus meaning the same as pause, you can tell the one strong literary element is the Dialect in which Golding uses to describes the characters and their action.
