How do James Withencroft's and Charles Atkinson's actions develop a theme in “August Heat”?

A. Withencroft draws a picture of a man being sentenced for a terrible crime. The man turns out to be Atkinson who, by chance, has carved Withencroft's headstone. This develops the theme that some coincidences defy explanation.

B. Withencroft works all day to draw the best picture of his life. Atkinson works all day to create a tombstone to show his customers. This develops the theme that at the end of the day, hard work is its own reward.

C. Withencroft walks to the home of stone carver, Charles Atkinson. Atkinson invites him in but sharpens a knife, making Withencroft feel threatened. This develops the theme that people should be wary of kind strangers.

D. Withencroft describes the most remarkable day of his life while Atkinson goes about his day as he would any other. This develops the theme that people should live each day to the fullest.

the correct answer is the first option "the bolkshevik revolution". the passage makes reference to many of important events that occured in the revolution, such as the assemblies, in this case the animals are gathered in an assembly after a protest, the murder of fellow partners, the speeches given by the leader of the revolution, among other aspects. the last choice is possible, but in this passage in particular it is not emphasized the fight between the characters, that is the two pigs, that represent lenin and stallin.

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"?
