A

you came from

25
something like a great ape
was sitting asleep with its head between its knees
26
bloated bags
of fat
27
sharpen a
stick at both ends
28
the loudest noise was the buzzing
of flies over the spilled guts
29
fancy thinking the Beast was
something you could hunt and kill!
30
you knew didnt you? i'm part of you?
close, close, close!
31
the Lord of Flies was
expanding like a balloon
32
the Lord of the Flies spoke in the
voice of a school master
33
there was blackness within
a blackness that spread
34
jack, painted and garlanded sat
there like an idol
35
the beast screamed,
struck,bit, tore
36
simon's dead body
moved out towards the open sea
37
some source of power
began to pulse in rogers body
38
dont you understand
you painted fools?
39
the shivering, silvery, unreal laughter of
the savages sprayed out and echoed away
40
youre a beast and a swine
and a bloody, bloody thief!
41
ralph was a shock of
hair and piggy a bag of fat
42
roger with a sense of delirious
abandonment leaned all his weight on the lever
43
the conch exploded into a thousand
white fragments and ceased to exist
44
his head opened and
stuff came out
45
the hangmans horror clung
round him
46
roger advanced upon them
as one wielding a nameless authority
47
the skull that gleamed as white
as ever the conch did
48
you dont know roger.
hes a terror
49
roger sharpened
a stick at both ends
50
ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of mans
heart and the fall through the air of a true wise friend, called piggy
51
i know. jolly good show.
like the coral island.
52
the fires the
most important thing on the island
