Jack,Piggy and Ralph are at the beginning are debating different mechanical and electronic devices that they could or should build one was a thought about a clock but that was quickly trashed when there was a comment about there being no metal available to make the clock,this quickly evolved into the idea of a sundial ,they considered sheathing sticks into the sand and letting the sun tell them the time.”we could make a sundial.we could put sticks in the sand”.

Ralph believes Piggy to be a bore and that his only true purpose is that he is fairly gullible and can easily be tricked .”Piggy was a bore;his fat,his ass-mar and his matter-of-fact ideas were dull:but there was always a little pleasure to be got out of pulling his legs”.

There was a ship that had been sighted and all the boys that saw the ship ran over towards the ship as they were amazed by what they were looking at they contemplated creating smoke but to no avail did it succeed as when the ship passed the island Ralph whimpered.”come back!come back!”.

How does the speaker use nature to present symbols in porphyria sliver and I think of thee?

The author of the poem describes the narrators emotions in the poem in his use of hidden metaphors that are describing how he feels and how he is concerned about how porphyria had not yet arrived and was showing now clear Sign of returning to him yet one quote that back up my point is “it tore the elm tops down in spite”.This metaphor may be the narrator showing how he felt and what he was doing in my opinion I believe that the quotes hidden meaning was that he was tearing things up in the house as he was so stressed that she had not returned.

Perhaps the man that strangles the girl with her long blonde hair, “in one long yellow string I wound three times around her pretty little throat”,may have done it as he felt that he did not want her to have her innocence taken from her.

annother would be that the man is perhaps insain then after relishing in his deed relised that what he has done is wrong and is now horrified by his actions.

Perhaps also there is the idea of in a way the rain may represent the tears from the man that loves her and then kills her also the howling wind may represent the anger and love that the man feels for her.
