"But the first time Ralph says 'fire' you goes howling and screaming up this here mountain. Like a pack of kids!" (pg.45)
Characterization: The other kids are now characterized as what the are. Kids. Immature children who are not rational thinkers, but what more could one expect. Almost like a pack of wild dogs, not human. This is because of diction like "howling...[and] like a pack"

Symbolism: The quote contradicts the symbolism seen is the 3rd quote. This time it is showing how people often times are not obedient and act on impulse rather than thinking things through.

Theme:  This plays into civility vs. savagery. Piggy is pointing out their savagery and so he can be seen as more civil than the rest of them due to his ability to point this out.

Setting:  This quote takes place at the top of the mountain where they kids begin the fire without thinking of consequences or paying attention to any details.

Characterization: This characterizes the boys as having a type of hope and a mind with beauty because they are staring intently towards the golden of the sun. As though they are looking for something more. As well as characterizing the island of creating a beauty of the sun and the horizon as a sign of greatness that slowly falls to darkness once gone.
Symbolism: This quote symbolizes a beauty they are finally seeing that slowly turns into a fear as well. Once they see the gold of the sun go down they become aware of the fact that it's gone now. That it gets closer and closer to "the end of the world" and just disappears leaving them with the dark.
Theme: In a way power and control represente the theme because of the way the boys had gained power and control throughout the day against the island, but once the sun goes down they realize that power is gone because it becomes a dark and cold place again. This gives the island power again without one realizing it because the boys are unaware of what may happen now, causing them to lose their control.
Setting: The setting of this quote takes place on the mountain at sundown when the boys are looking towards the horizon of the sky. This is after the boys had created a system of what role each boy takes. Also when they realize the "good" of the day is gone.

Leaving Jack and Ralph above the others.
Symbolism: This quote symbolizes a type of authority being created by Ralph by the way he is thinking of having specific people for specific "jobs".

Also, this quote represents leadership because Ralph is obviously the leader while the boys are the ones following him and his ideas.

"Life became a race with the fire and the boys scattered through the upper forest."(pg. 41)
Characterization: This quote characterizes Ralph as the big leader again because of the way he is grabs and uses Piggy's glasses, but also shows how Jack may be the one who also gives the ideas because he is the one that suggests the idea of using the glasses. Although this proves Piggy being the weakest one of the group by the way they treat him, and the way he doesn't defend himself against the other boys.
Symbolism: This quote symbolizes that these boys are living on a time based island. There life's are against the island in a race of time and safety, because of the fact that they can start one good thing but they never know when it'll stop and they won't have that anymore. This quote is saying the boys may run out of time no matter how far or fast they keep on running to keep the good up.

Scatter in this sentence is being used to show how quickly they try to move to keep their power and control it against the odds of living on the island.
Setting: This quote takes place on the mountain around the forest, when the boys are trying to start a fire using Piggy's glasses

"They found a piglet caught in a curtian of creepers,throwing itself at the elastic traces in all the madness of extreme terrror." (pg. 31)
Characterization: This is characterizing the island rather than one of the kids. It is showing us the darker and more mysterious side of the island that scares the children.

Symbolism: This shows the fear humans feel over the simplest things. Plants can be frightening to someone if they are not paying attention and are caught off guard. It seems silly but it happens. We fear what we dont undersand.

Theme:  This is the play into fear. Words like "terror" and "madness" and the plants described as "creepers" play into this factor. The are strong words used for a purpose and that purpose was to show the reader the fear the children feel as well as the darker aspects of the island.

Setting:  This quote takes place when Ralph Jack and Simon are coming back down the mountain after exploring. They are walking through the vegetation and "creepers".
