This excerpt expresses the theme that it can be difficult to know yourself and your place in the world. which excerpt from "to live" expresses the same theme? i sit in my crunched-in restraining desk, they call it. with my paper and my pen and i am supposed to see the blackboard around the tall boy en frente de mi but my head won't translate this language log base b of a squared carbon monoxide reacting with phosphorus learning without knowing without room to learn how to know myself to be myself

learning without knowing without room to learn how to know myself to be myself

The best line from the excerpt that expresses the theme that it can be difficult to know yourself and your place in the world is "learning without knowing without room to learn how to know myself to be myself". This line shows that the speaker doesn't know himself or how to be himself. The speaker is struggling in the classroom. It is obvious that he does not like sitting at the desk when he uses the words "crunched-in" and "restraining". He's struggling with the language as well. This is shown when he goes back and forth between English and his native language.

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
