Review the excerpt from Lord of the Flies.Ralph moved impatiently. The trouble was, if you were a chief you had to think, you had to be wise. And then the occasion slipped by so that you had to grab at a decision. This made you think; because thought was a valuable thing, that got results.

Only, decided Ralph as he faced the chief's seat, I can't think. Not like Piggy.

Once more that evening Ralph had to adjust his values. Piggy could think.

What characteristic do the poems "Will there really be a 'Morning?'" and "I dwell in Possibility" share? a standard rhyme scheme

question marks to create yearning

the "mystery of nature" theme

capital letters to emphasize words


I'll post the poems in a sec

Will there really be a "Morning"?
Is there such a thing as "Day"?
Could I see it from the mountains
If I were as tall as they?

Has it feet like Water lilies?
Has it feathers like a Bird?
Is it brought from famous countries
Of which I have never heard?

Oh some Scholar! Oh some Sailor!
Oh some Wise Men from the skies!
Please to tell a little Pilgrim
Where the place called "Morning" lies! 

I dwell in Possibility-- 
A fairer House than Prose-- 
More numerous of Windows-- 
Superior--for Doors--

Of Chambers as the Cedars-- 
Impregnable of Eye-- 
And for an Everlasting Roof 
The Gambrels of the Sky--

Of Visitors--the fairest-- 
For Occupation--This-- 
The spreading wide my narrow Hands 
To gather Paradise--

Is it better to save what you have or buy new things ?
