Explanation:

Coordinating conjunctions refer to a group of words that coordinate and join at least two or more sentences that have same syntactic importance. There are seven coordinating conjunctions: or, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so.

Correlative conjunctions refer to a group of words which correlate sentences with the same importance, by working in pairs. Correlative conjunctions are: either/or, neither/nor, not only/ but also.

Subordinating conjunctions refer to a group of words that link a dependent clause with an independent clause. There are different types of subordinating conjunctions, like: conjunctions that are showing cause and effect: because, for, as, since, therefore, hence, due to, unless, so/so that, etc; conjunctions that are expressing time and place relations, like: while, when, where, before, after, etc.

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"?
