The boy with fair hair lowered himself down the last few feet of
rock and began to pick his way toward the lagoon. Though he had taken off his school sweater and
trailed it now from one hand, his grey shirt stuck to him and his hair was plastered to his
forehead.
This is how begins, and
already we can see a few different examples of figurative language. There is a rhyme in
"fair hair," evoking the sing-song quality of a . There are multiple examples ofin
which the first letter is repeated: in "few feet," "school sweater," and
"shirt stuck."
Golding uses lots ofin the text, especially when
first describing the setting in the first chapter:
The
beach between the palm terrace and the water was a thin stick, endless apparently, for to s left
the perspectives of palm and beach and water drew to a point at infinity; and always, almost
visible, was the heat.
He uses ain calling the water a
"thin stick," and helps us picture the endlessness...
