Explanation:

A past participle refers to a verb in its third form. They could also serve as adjecive They (most past participles) are usually characterized with the suffix "-ed" or "-d", "-en", "-n" & occasionally, "-t". It is also important to note that a past participle signifies an action which has been accomplished or brought to completion. Some examples of verbs and their past participles are shown below:

I. walk - walked

II. eat - eaten

III. go - gone

For the two sentences to be joined by a past participle, the verb disappointed changes from the past tense form to the past participle form. Hence, the sentences change from "They were disappointed by not being able to picnic by the river. They went home sadly." to "Disappointed by not being able to picnic by the river, they went home sadly."

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"?
