Syntax example in lord of the flies?

On the right hand was the lagoon, troubled by the open sea; and on the left -- Ralph shuddered.  The lagoon had protected them from the Pacific: and for some reason only Jack had gone right down to the water on the other side.  Now he saw the landsman's view of the swell and it seemed like the breathing of some stupendous creature.  Slowly the waters sank among the rocks, revealing pink tables of granite, strange growths of coral, polyp, and weed.  Down, down the waters went, whispering like the wind among the heads of the forest.  There was one flat rock there, spread like a table, and the waters sucking down on the four weedy sides made them seem like cliffs.  Then the sleeping leviathan breathed out, the waters rose, the weed streamed, and the water boiled over the table rock with a roar.  There was no sense of the passage of waves; only this minute long fall and rise and fall.

"Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood! Do him in!’ The sticks fell and the mouth of the new circle crunched and screamed. The beast was on his knees in the center, its arms folded over its face. It was crying out against the abominable noise, something about a body on the hill. The beast struggled forward, broke the ring, and fell over the steep edge of the rock to the sand by the water. At once the crowd surged after it, poured down the rock, leapt on to the beast, screamed, struck, bit, tore. There were no words, and no movements but the tearing of teeth and claws."

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
