Reread the last stanza of John Montague's poem "The Fight". (p.20) For minutes we fought

Standing and falling in

The river’s brown spate.

And I would still fight,

Though now I can forgive;

To worship or destroy beauty—

That double edge of the impulse

I recognize, by which we live:

But also the bitter paradox

Of betraying love to harm,

Then lunging, too late,

With fists, to its defense.

How is this stanza different from the rest of the poem?

The difference between the last stanza and the rest of the poem can be explained as follows:

- In the last stanza, the tone shifts, becoming more aggressive and disappointed, when the speaker describes the fight he and his friend had. In the rest of the poem, the tone is one of harmony and elation.

The last verse has a tone of adrenaline and disharmony, unlike the other verses that present a tone of happiness and harmony.

Explanation:

In the first verses the poet presents a tone of harmony and joy, where the speaker of the poem describes a happy moment in his life, where he observes a swallow that gives him good ideas and feelings.

However, the last stage presents a struggle, which completely changes the tone of the poem, expressing a tone of disharmony, discomfort and adrenaline, because the pace of the poem becomes more frantic, as a fight should be.

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"?
