I woke up. It was blurry, the sun was shining on me, ugh so much light! "Wake up Summer!" someone yelled at my face, I didn't know who it was, my vision was still blurry, then the person who yelled at my face, handed me some water to drink. I hear the ocean, swish-swoosh, I felt the sand on my hand, I got up and saw sand. Where I'm I? "Summer, you finally up!" Happiness came from that voice, but I didn't know who she was. "Who are you?" I said, "Summer, it's me KT! C'mon let's go find Dana!" She said her name was KT but I still didn't know who she was, or Dana whoever she is. "Who's Dana?" I was so confused. "Summer, stop playing games!" KT said. 

Theme: Friends can help in times of need

Jenna and Matt are standing outside of Carly's room and pounding on her locked door.

Jenna: (exasperated) Let us in Carly!

Carly: (sobbing) No! You'll just make it worse!

Matt: Carly, we're here to help you get through this. (softer) That's what we're here for.

Jenna: (pleading) Please Carly! We love you!

Carly continues to sob from the other side of the door, but Jenna and Matt hear the lock click. Matt slowly pushes open the door and gasps. Jenna stares open-mouthed at Carly curled up on her bed. Her hair was ridiculously messy and her nose was pink from crying.

Matt: (worried) What happened Carly...

Matt sits on the edge of her bed and Jenna starts to follow. Before she can get to the bed, the unearthly glow of the laptop screen catches her eye.

Jenna: (horrified) Carly! Why didn't you tell us?! (furious) That horrible Rebecca! She's gonna get it!

Jenna pushes the laptop towards Matt and Carly cries harder yet.

Matt: (infuriated) Not only her! Jake, too! Ugh!

Carly: (screaming) THIS IS WHY I NEVER TOLD YOU! IF YOU TELL THEM, IT WILL MAKE IT WORSE!

Carly erupts into a fresh new wave of tears. Jenna reached over to hug her and Matt squeezed her hand.

Jenna: We're your friends. That's what we're here for.

Jenna and Carly lock eyes and Carly gives a weak smile.

assignment

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
