Passage 4 February 12th

A symbol in passage 4 is Jack's face mask."He knelt, holding the shell of water. A rounded patch of sunlight fell on his face and a brightness appeared in the depths of the water. He looked in astonishment, no longer at himself but at an awesome stranger. He spilt the water and leapt to his feet, laughing excitedly. Beside the pool his sinewy body held up a mask that drew their eyes and appalled them. He began to dance and his laughter became a bloodthirsty snarling." The effect this symbol has on the text would be that were starting to see jack's eviler side. When he starts to change the way he looks, he starts changing the way he acts. He looses touch with reality, and the inner animal comes out. Golding wisely choose words such as bloodthirsty snarling to convey the image of an animal. The theme then comes down to in nature humans act differently for survival.
