“the bruised flesh was…
inches in diameter”
“with a swollen…
and bloody scar”
“all over he was scratched…
and bruised”
“this was a savage whose image…
refused to blend with that ancient picture of a boy in shorts and shirt”
“the breaking of the conch and deaths…
of Piggy and Simon lay over the island like a vapor”
“the white face was bone…
and that the pig’s skull grinned at him”
“looked steadily at the skull…
that gleamed as white as ever the conch had done”
“an inquisitive ant was busy in one of the eye sockets..
but otherwise the thing was lifeless. Or was it?”
“the teeth grinned…
the empty sockets seemed to hold his gaze masterfully”
“fiercely he hit out at the filthy thing…
in front of him that bobbed like a toy and came back, still grinning into his face, so that he lashed and cried out in loathing”
“the skull lay…
in two pieces”
“on the other side of this rocky wall…
there would be a dark circle, a glowing fire, and meat”
“Samneric were savages like the rest…
Piggy was dead and the conch smashed to powder”
“Sam- I’m going to be all right…
aren’t I? The twins were silent again”
“Roger sharpened a stick…
at both ends” (Samneric)
“cries of pain from Samneric…
cries of panic, angry voices”
“the earth jolted, there was a rushing sound in the air…
and the top of the thicket was cuffed as with a gigantic hand”
“the rock bounded on, thumping and smashing…
toward the beach, while a shower of broken twigs and leaves fell on him”
“there was no Piggy…
to talk sense”
“screaming…
snarling, bloody”
“he forgot his wounds, his hunger and thirst…
and became fear, hopeless fear on flying feet, rushing through the forest toward the open beach”
“jagged fringe…
of menace”
“trying to cry…
for mercy”
“little boys, their bodies streaked with colored clay…
sharp sticks in their hands”
