(Chapter 5 "Beast from Water") If you wanted to prove that Ralph represents the desire to be pure and civilized, which form of evidence would be the strongest support for this claim?

• "He was overcome with astonishment. He found himself understanding the wearisomeness of this life, where every path was an improvisation and a considerable part of one's waking life was spent watching one's feet."

• "He stopped, facing the strip; and remembering that first enthusiastic exploration as though it were a part of a brighter childhood, he smiled jeeringly."

• "He lost himself in a maze of thoughts that were rendered vague by his lack of words to express them."

• "He noticed-- in this new mood of comprehension-- how the folds were stiff like card-board, and unpleasant, noticed too how the frayed edges of his shorts were making an uncomfortable, pink area on the front of his thought. With convulsion of the mind, Ralph discovered dirt and decay, understood how much he disliked it."

CAUSE AND EFFECT: The effect is the coconut shells of water are empty. What is the cause?

• The stream is running dry.

• The boys use the rocks along the bathing pool as a lavatory, so the water is dirty.

• The boys quit following the procedure and just drink straight from the river.

• The beastie has been seen near the water, so no one wants to fill up the shells.

Piggy uses _________________ to explain why there isn't a need to worry about a beast on the island.

• Fear: "Serves you right if something did get you, you useless lot of cry-babies!"

• Persistence: "But there is no animal!"

• Logic: "It's scientific, that's what it is. I know there isn't no beast-- not with claws and all that..."

• Insight: "Maybe there is a beast... what I mean is maybe it's only us"
