Character Analysis Of Quotes From 'Sage In William Gold'

Decent Essays
From this quote I learned that Sage really isn’t a people person. She’s the type of girl who would rather be alone and do things on her own than be out surrounded by others. I can relate to her because there are days where I don’t want to talk to anyone. Sometimes you just want to be alone. Part of this could be because of Sage’s insecurities. I know that because she’s always trying to hide her scar from everyone. Everyone except for her best friend Mary. This quote is significant because it will help me understand some of the decisions Sage makes later in the book. Knowing a character’s traits really help justify the decisions they make, things they say, and the way they interact with other

    William Golding’s use of adjectives and word choices in this paragraph help dehumanize Ralph’s, Piggy’s, and Samneric’s attackers. In this first sentence of the paragraph, Golding describes the aggressors as so: “...there was a vicious snarling in the mouth of the shelter…” (Golding 167). The use of the word snarling instead of yelling or some other like word is to animalize the attackers and make them more beast-like. He also describes their attacks as, “...hitting, biting, and scratching.” (Golding 167).…
