Owl would hunt at night and sleep during the day. She would get very cranky if anyone or anything made any noise during the day and disturbed her sleep. One day, she was just about to fall asleep when she heard a cricket chirping. She hooted at the cricket to keep quiet, but the cricket chirped back that it had no intention of stopping. Owl then said to the cricket, "Well, if you won't be quiet, then I may as well try and enjoy your beautiful chirping song. Why don't you hop up here and chirp your tune closer to me so that I might hear it better." The cricket was flattered by the compliment and hopped all the way up the tree to sing and chirp right next to Owl. As soon as the grasshopper drew near, Owl snapped the grasshopper up in her beak and swallowed the grasshopper whole. an owl and a grasshopper sitting next to each other in a tree

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"?
