Quotations from Chapter 1
Here are a few key quotations from Chapter 1:
Quotations about Ralph
- “The boy with fair hair”.
- The adjective “fair” may have an alternative meaning here. Ralph is identified as the boy who will try to be fair and treat everyone equally.
- “We ought to have a chief to decide things”.
- Introduces the idea of leadership on the island.
- “Every hand outside the choir except Piggy’s was raised immediately”.
- Almost unanimously voted for.
- “The choir belongs to you, of course”
- Fairly gives Jack some dominion.
Quotations about Piggy
- “Asthma”
- Introduces his weaknesses.
- “We don’t want you”
- Jack and Ralph reject Piggy's help when they explore the island.
Quotation about Jack
- “You’re talking too much. Shut up, Fatty.”
- Jack dismisses Piggy. Without knowing much about Piggy, Jack’s first conversation with him causes Piggy some humiliation (much like Ralph earlier).
