Anglican High School/ MYE/ 2014/ Sec 4/ Lit/ Paper 1 2 Section A Answer ONE question from this section. WILLIAM GOLDING: Lord of the Flies 1 Either (a) How does Golding make the idea of the beast so memorable and significant in the novel? Support your idea with details from the novel. Or (b) Ralph calls Jack ‘a beast, a swine, and a bloody, b loody thief!’ How far do you agree with his assessment of Jack? Support your answer with close reference to the novel. Or (c) Read this passage carefully and then answer the questions that follow it. The hunters were looking unea sily at the sky, flinching from the stroke of the drops. A wave of restlessness set the boys swaying and moving aimlessly. The flickering light became brighter and the blows of thunder were only just bearable. The littleuns began to run about, screaming. Jack leapt on to the sand. “Do our dance! Come on! Dance!” He ran stumbling through the thick sand to the open space of rock beyond the fire. Between the flashes of lightning the air was dark and terrible; and the boys followed him, clamou rously. Roger became the pig, grunting and charging at Jack, who side -stepped. The hunters took their spears, the cooks took spits, and the rest clubs of fire -wood. A circling movement developed and a chant. While Roger mimed the terror of the pig, the lit tleuns ran and jumped on the outside of the circle. Piggy and Ralph, under the threat of the sky, found themselves eager to take a place in this demented but partly secure society. They were glad to touch the brown backs of the fence that hemmed in the terror and made it governable. “Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!” The movement became regular while the chant lost its first superficial excitement and began to beat like a steady pulse. Roger ceased to be a pig and became a hunter, so that t he centre of the ring yawned emptily. Some of the littleuns started a ring on their own; and the complementary circles went round and round as though repetition would achieve safety of itself. There was a throb and stamp of a single organism. The dark sky was shattered by a blue-white scar. An instant later the noise was on them like the blow of a gigantic whip. The chant rose a tone in agony. “Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!” Now out of the terror rose another desire, thick, urgent, blind. “Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!” Again the blue -white scar jagged above them and the sulphurous explosion beat down. The littleuns screamed and blundered about, fleeing from the edge of the forest, and one of them broke the ring of bigu ns in his terror.
