2flying boats have a fuselage, or body, that looks and acts like a ship’s hull. this hull enables them to float on water very easily. two small floats underneath its wings keep the flying boat stable in rough water. these seaplanes are usually larger and more stable on water than floatplanes are. a floatplane is a seaplane that has two long floats, called pontoons, under the fuselage. this is the only part of the plane that touches the water. unlike flying boats, floatplanes often come in a wide variety of sizes. an amphibious vehicle can be either a flying boat or a floatplane with wheels. this allows the aircraft to land on both land and water. which best describes the purpose of paragraph 2? a) to explain how seaplanes are used b) to encourage people to use seaplanes c) to list all of the types of seaplanes d) to describe the different parts of seaplanes

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"?
