Reasons for Picking: 

It exaggerates how different Ralph is from Piggy. The quote introduces the boys' slow detachment from society. 

Discussion:
Symbolism or Metaphor
- This quote shows how they are beginning to disregard the values and disciplines taught to them by adults, like how you must always wear clothes in public.
---------------------------------------------------------
Quote 2 (Ralph and Piggy):
"Ralph had stopped smiling and was pointing into the lagoon. Something creamy lay among the ferny weeds.
“A stone.”
“No. A shell.”"- Page 15

Reason for Picking: 
I chose this quote because it introduces the shell and creates more symbolism.

Discussion:
Symbolism:
Lord of the Flies tackles many topics such as power. This quote is shows how power is usually given to people by others. Later in the book, Ralph uses the shell to attract other survivors and to become the chief of all the boys. Even though Piggy was the one who discovered it and determined the shell's use, it was still Ralph who used the shell to acquire power. 
-------------------------------------------------------
Quote 3 (Ralph and the Choir):
"Within the diamond haze of the beach something dark was fumbling along. Ralph saw it first, and watched until the intentness of his gaze drew all eyes that way. Then the creature stepped from mirage onto clear sand, and they saw that the darkness was not all shadow but mostly clothing. The creature was a party of boys" Page 19

Reason for Picking:
The quote seems to be foreshadowing the differences between both groups of boys so far. 
Discussion: 
Foreshadowing or Symbolism:
The quote describes the choir boys as a mysterious and potentially dangerous creature. Granted, this description is given before they are nearby but, it does suggest that the two groups might begin to hate each other later in the story. The name given to the group, Hunters, also foreshadows them possibly killing or hunting down others. Symbolism might be shown through the differences between the choir boys and Piggy & Ralph. While Piggy and Ralph have yet to create order within their group they are still shown to not have problems, whereas the choir boys are introduced with a myriad of problems such as a neglectful leader and immediate injury. 
-------------------------------------------------------
Quote 4 (Ralph and the Choir boys):
"Ralph looked at him, eager to offer something. 
"The choir belongs to you[Jack Merridew], of course"
"The could be the army-"
"Or hunters-"
[...]
"Jack's in charge of the choir. They can beb-what do you want them to be?"
"Hunters."" Page 23

Reason for Picking:
This pick of dialogue was chosen because it shows how power hungry both Jack Merridew and Ralph are.

Discussion:
Symbolism:
The line shows how strong people's desire for power can be. Earlier when Merridew lost the vote to become chief, he blushing because he was mortified by the results. Surprisingly however, after Ralph won and told him that he can keep the Choir boys, Jack Merridew begins to smile again. Jack displays all leaders biggest fears, losing their power.
-------------------------------------------------------
Quote 5 (Ralph, Simon, and Jack):
"He [Jack Merridew] snatched his knife out of the sheath and slammed it into a tree trunk. Next time there would be no mercy he looked round fiercely, darling them to contradict." Page 31

Reason for Picking:
This shows the boys becoming more barbic and less civilized.

Discussion:
Foreshadowing:
The quote suggests that later in the book if they ever need to fight, they will not hesitate to attack.

Undergrowth- A dense bundle of plants or shrubs, typically found in forests. “And all about was the undergrowth.”- Page 48

Unheeding- Not paying attention “Than dog-like, uncomfortable on all  fours yet heeding his discomfort”- Page 48

Tendril- A part of a plant that grows around any support, typically found in climbing plants and is usually spiral in shape. “Here was a loop of creeper with a tendril pendant from a node” Page 48

Gaudy- Bright/flashy to the point of tastelessness “Only when Jack himself roused a gaudy bird from a primitive nest of sticks was the silence shattered and echoes set ringing by a harsh cry that seemed to come out of the abyss of ages.” Page 49

Inscrutable- Impossible to comprehend/understand “Jack lifted his head and stared at the inscrutable masses of creeper that lay across the trail.” Page 49

Vicissitudes- A change in luck or fortune, often a change that is undesirable. “Jack stood these, streaming with sweat, streaked with brown earth stained by all the vicissitudes of a day’s hunting.” Page 49

Contrite- Feelings of sorrow or doing something wrong, typically fostered from guilt “Simon’s contrite face appeared in the hole” Page 50

Feeble- Lacking strength or stability, often caused by age or withering. “Thickened to a creamy blur which crept up the feeble column.” Page 54

Bewildered-  Confused/perplexed “Ralph gazed bewildered at his rapt face.” Page 54

Rapt- Enchanted by what one is hearing or seeing “Ralph gazed bewildered at his rapt face.” Page 54

Clamorously- Making a confused and loud sound. “Tall trunks bore unexpected pale flowers all the way up to the dark canopy where life went on clamorously.” Page 56

Furtive- attempting to avoid attention as it could lead to trouble/ secretive “For a moment his movements were almost furtive.” Page 57

Lamentably: regrettable, mournful 

Reason for picking: Shows how the chief is keeping the boys from making bad decisions and fighting with each other.

Discussion: I find it how Ralph was able to make the boys listen to him and stop them from doing something bad because of the rules that they set before.

Quote 2: "…fear can't hurt you any more than a dream. There aren't any beasts to be afraid of on this island . . . Serve you right if something did get you, you useless lot of cry-babies!"

Reason for picking: Shows how Jack does not care of the other boys on the island

Discussion: I think that Jack's statement isn't true and that fear can hurt you and that there is a beast on the island which exists within each of the boys.

Quote 3: “Maybe […] there is a beast
[…] What I mean is… maybe it's only us.”

Reason for picking: It shows how both Simon and Piggy have a similar idea but have different views on it.

Discussion:
Piggy - they're afraid of each other
Simon - afraid of themselves

Quote 4: "And you shut up! Who are you, anyway? Sitting there telling people what to do. You can't hunt, you can't sing—"

"I'm chief. I was chosen."

"Why should choosing make any difference? Just giving orders that don't make any sense—"

Reason for picking: It shows how Jack thinks that Ralphs way of leading is inefficient.

Discussion: Symbolism
Jack - Autocratic government = they take power
Ralph - Democratic government = power is given

Quote 5: "What are we? Humans? Or animals? Or savages? What's grownups going to think? Going off-hunting pigs-letting fires out-and now!"

Reason for picking: It shows how Piggy is only thinking of what adults would think of them and not about how the other boys are acting

Discussion: Even amidst of a possible anarchy all Piggy can think about is how adults will view them.

"That was awful. It kind of sat up—"

[…]

"There were eyes—"

"Teeth—

"Claws—"

"We ran as fast as we could—"  Page 100

Reason for Picking:
It shows how fear can affect a person.

Discussion: Symbolism/Metaphor.?
It parallels most people in real life and how they react when they are afraid. Typically, when people are frightened they start seeing monstrous figures in places where there is nothing.

Quote 4: (Ralph)
"Something deep in Ralph spoke for him.

"I'm chief. I'll go. Don't argue." Page 104

Reason for picking:
It shows how power can change a person.

Discussion: Symbolism
The way Ralph reacts is similar to how most people in power/responsibilities react. Typically, they would solve/do the thing because they are in power or can do it.

Quote 5: (Simon)
"Simon, walking in front of Ralph, felt a flicker of incredulity—a beast with claws that scratched, that sat on a mountain-top, that left no tracks and yet was not fast enough to catch Samneric. However Simon thought of the beast, there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human, at once heroic and sick." Page 103

Reason for Picking:
It shows Simon realising that the mosnter does exist but its not what they thought it was.

Disscussion: Foreshadowing/Symbolism
The quote shows that the boys are starting to realise that the real monster is them.

Reason for picking: It represents his character development
Discussion: His personality and methods are gradually changing into an uncivilized manner. 
 

Reason for picking: This quote shows how he is losing faith. This influence his leadership.
Discussion: The use of repetition emphasizes his lost of faith in being rescued. 
 

Reason for picking: Simon shows qualities of a good and optimistic child. 
Discussion: This shows how he represent the 'good' while and the hope for other boys. 

Reason for picking: His change of perspective about hunting
Discussion: This foreshadows how violence lead to his lost of leadership. Also represents the innate savagery of human individuals. 

Reason for picking: Lost of
Discussion: 

Reason for picking: His goodness still rose on the situation even though he knew about the Lord of the Flies' prophecy
Discussion: The dramatic irony that the beast is just a dead parachutist and the metaphor that the boys are the actual horrible beast.

Reason for picking: He's demanding
Discussion: This shows his dictatorship. 

Reason for picking: Persuasion and manipulation
Discussion: He used the pig to manipulate the boys into thinking that he's a better leader and he can provide anything they want - beast, food, and safety. 

Reason for picking: They try to grasp the remaining part of a civilization.
Discussion: 

Reasons for picking:
Discussion: 

"He looked round, furtively. Apparently no one had heard. "
decorum- good taste
"Clothes, worn away,
stiff like his own with sweat, put on, not for decorum or comfort but out of custom; the skin
of the body, scurfy with brine"
Remoteness- secluded
"Wave after wave, Ralph followed the rise and fall until something of the remoteness of
the sea numbed his brain."
Ruefully-  filled with sorrow
"He rubbed his rump ruefully. Jack rolled over."
Impervious- incapable of being affected.
"So they sat, the rocking, tapping, impervious Roger and Ralph, fuming; round them the
close sky was loaded with stars, save where the mountain punched up a hole of blackness."

Ralph spoke first, crimson in the face.

"Will you?

He cleared his throat and went on.

"Will you light the fire?" Page 40

Reason for picking:
The boys become less civilized and disregard what they were taught previously.

Discussion:
The quote highlights their changes as before they were civilized to the point of not knowing how to survive outdoors.

Quote 4 (Piggy)
"Then, with the martyred expression of a parent who has to keep up with the senseless ebullience of the children, he picked up the conch, turned toward the forest, and began to pick his way over the tumbled scar." Page 38

Reason for Picking:
It alludes to the possible grim future of Piggy.

Discussion:
Symbolism or Foreshadowing:
The quote describes Piggy as a parent which is a role he is somewhat playing. Piggy so far has been the one to contribute the most towards the group's development. He identified the coach and brought glasses. Alongside his name and constant mistreatment by the group, this could hint at Piggy's possible death and consumption by the other boys.

Quote 5
"Ralph sat on a fallen trunk, his left side to the sun. On his right were most of the choir; on his left the larger boys who had not known each other before the evacuation; before him small children squatted in the grass." Page 32

Reason for picking:
It illustrates how fractured the group is.

Discussion:
Foreshadowing:
The broken up groups could suggest that later in the book, the already unorganized group, will seperate into even smaller groups.
