Lord of the FliesWhat do the changes to the signal fire represent?

A.
the boys' inability to accept their situation

B.
the need for reliance on each other

C.
a gauge of the boys' desire to return to civilization

D.
a sense of helplessness for everyone

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The signal fire was originally lit and kept burning in case a ship comes past the island and will rescue him. The signal fire originally symbolizes hope - hope that the boys will be rescued. Towards the end of the novel the signal fire changes. This represents C - a gauge of the boys desire to return to civilization. The boys let the signal fire go out. They are more interested  in hunting and killing Ralph than being rescued so they light a fire to try and flush Ralph out from his hiding place. Ironically this is the fire that catches the attention of a passing ship and the boys are rescued.

In this line from the poem, which word best describes the mood evoked by the personification of the daffodils? Fluttering and dancing in the breezeA) gloom
B) delight
C) enlightenment
D) violence
This is the passage: I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

In the line from the poem, the word which best describes the mood evoked by the personification of the daffodils is:

A dirge is a funeral song. Why did Shelley choose that title for this poem?A Dirge
by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Rough wind, that moanest loud
Grief too sad for song;
Wild wind, when sullen cloud
Knells all the night long;

Sad storm, whose tears are vain,
Bare woods, whose branches strain,
Deep caves and dreary main,--
Wail, for the world's wrong!

Answers

The correct answer for this question is that Shelley called this poem a Dirge because it is so sad and somber. A dirge refers to a funeral song, so through the title Shelley is leading the reader to know exactly what to expect from the poem's atmosphere and tone.
