• Golding continuing his emphasis on haze and blur--something they can't reach or don't know.
• "Illusions" & "mirage" usu. happens when something goes wrong with one's mind.

Annotations:

• This talks about Percival the littl'un who they had found in fear (homesick)

The littl'un's fear is present throughout the island and this is just one example of this.

• P. showing signs of "weakness" and the boys consider him "psycho."
• Releasing his emotion to release his stress. Particularly human ways.

Annotations:

• On the island, Ralph is an adult. Parents comfort littl'uns, and the children still need a parent to be around.

At night they are by themselves, but when they go to the meetings, everyone else is older so they feel more comfortable

• Find solace in being in a group.
• Entertainment helps them forget that they are really in trouble or danger.
• Clear that they are all really scared and need a distraction.

Annotations: Percival: unattractive, and bossy; two important qualities of Jack



Annotations:

• Sadistic form of entertainment.
• Starting to see the difference between the different kinds of boys on the island that will lead to the two groups.
• Shows power gap.
• J's group seems meaner.
