chapter 11 Flashcards
“Eric looked down at him through…
a mask of dried blood”
“after all we aren’t…
savages really” (Ralph)
“and there was that other kid who had a mark…
on his face. Who’s seen him since we first come here?” (Piggy)
“they understood only too well…
the liberation into savagery that the concealing paint brought”
“an imitation…
war- cry that was answered by a dozen boys”
“savages appeared…
painted out of recognition, edging round the ledge toward the neck”
“Roger took up a small stone…
and flung it between the twins, aiming to miss”
“some source of power…
began to pulse in Roger’s body”
“the sniggering of the savages…
became a loud derisive jeer”
“Jack made a rush…
and stabbed at Ralph’s chest with his spear”
“he pushed his hair up and gazed…
at the green and black mask before him, trying to remember what Jack looked like” (Ralph)
“the shivering, silvery, unreal laughter…
of the savages sprayed out and echoed away
“Samneric protested out of…
the heart of civlisation”
“You’re a best and a swine…
and a bloody, bloody thief!” (Ralph speaking about Jack)
“Someone was throwing…
stones: Roger was dropping them, his one hand still on the lever”
“\below him, Ralph was…
a shock of hair and Piggy a bag of fat”
“Which is better- to have…
rules and agree, or to hunt and kill?” (Piggy)
Which is better…
law and rescue, or hunting and breaking things up?” (Piggy)
“a solid mass of menace…
that bristled with spears”
“High overhead, Roger…
with a sense of delirious abandonment, leaned all his weight on the lever”
“the monstrous…
red thing bounded across the neck”
“the rock struck Piggy..
a glancing blow from chin to knee”
“the conch exploded into a thousand…
white fragments and ceased to exist”
“Piggy fell forty feet…
and landed on his back across the square red rock in the sea”
“his head opened…
and stuff came out and turned red”
“Piggy’s arms and legs twitched a bit…
like a pig’s after it has been killed”
“the sea breathed in a long..
slow sigh, the water boiled white and pink over the rock”
“sucking back again…
the body of Piggy was gone”
“viciously, with full intention..
he hurled his spear at Ralph”
“the paint tore the skin and flesh…
over Ralph’s ribs, then sheared off and fell in the water”
“Ralph stumbled…
feeling not pain but panic”
“anonymous devils”…
faces swarmed across the neck”
“the hangman’s horror…
clung round him”
“Roger advanced upon them…
as one wielding a nameless authority”
