Use the statement about William Golding's Lord of the Flies to complete the activity.
A plane carrying a group of young schoolboys flying from Britain to escape war is shot down. The plane crashes on a desert island, stranding the boys there with no hope of rescue. Together, the boys explore the island, elect a leader, and devise strategies in the hopes of attracting any nearby ships or planes so that they may be rescued.
At first, the boys enjoy their time on the island, free of the grown-ups who usually run their lives. However, because of this, they also begin to neglect the day-to-day necessities, such as looking for food or maintaining the signal fire. As a result, the group they've built begins to deteriorate, and an older, more savage boy takes over the group. A fear develops that there is a monster living in the jungle.
As order gives way to chaos, the older boys mistakenly murder a younger boy, set a fire within the jungle, and lead a manhunt for one of the boys. In the end, a British naval ship lands on the island to rescue the boys. Upon seeing an officer and learning that he is safe, the main character despairs in the idea that he will never be the same:
"Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of a true, wise friend called Piggy."

In order really to hate white people, one has to blot so much out of the mind — and the heart — that this hatred itself becomes an exhausting and self-destructive pose. but this does not mean, on the other hand, that love comes easily: the white world is too powerful, too complacent, too ready with gratuitous humiliation, and, above all, too ignorant and too innocent for that. which sentence best explains how the use of parallelism in the excerpt supports baldwin's purpose? a. it proves baldwin's central idea by highlighting the obvious. b. it emphasizes the problems that prevent one from loving the white world. c. it explains why the white world is unable to replace hate with love. d. it enumerates the many ways of dealing with the white world.
