In 1933, Nelson Rockefeller, one of the richest men in America, asked Diego Rivera to paint him a mural. The mural was to appear on the wall of a Rockefeller Center building in New York City. At the time, Diego Rivera was known as one of Mexico's best artists. He agreed to paint the mural. The resulting piece of art was large and intricate. It featured images of wealthy women, body cells, and several famous politicians. One of the politicians was Vladimir Lenin, a communist leader. Rockefeller felt that the inclusion of Lenin in the painting was offensive. He asked Rivera to remove it. Rivera, however, refused to do so. Rockefeller responded by paying Rivera for the mural and then covering it with a large drape. In 1934, Rockefeller ordered the mural to be torn down. Which of the following most accurately paraphrases what is written about Diego Rivera's mural in this passage?

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"?
