CHAPTER6---passage

"a knot of boys,making a great noise that he had not noticed,were heaving and pushing at a rock.As he turned, the base cracked and the whole mass toppled into the sea so that a thunderous plume of spray leapt half-way up the cliff."


This passage shows that as time goes on, the boys begin to forget their main task of exploding the monster and be rescued. They are too fond of play. They are still a group of kids and not mature enough to control themselves and do things in order.That's maybe the foreshadow of the tragedy happens at the end of the book.
