"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.

chapter4--Important quotes
Important quotes in chapter 4
"Now though, there was no parent to let fall a heavy hand, Maurice still felt the unease of wrong doing," "here invisible yet strong, was the taboo of the old life." These quots are important because they tell us that the boys still remember there old life and feel guilty when they do stuff that wasn't allowed.

Chapter3~Important and Interesting Passage
"Ralph-I'll split up the choir-my hunters, that is-into groups, and we'll be responsible for keeping thr fire going-, This generosity brought a spatter of applause from the boys, "
This passage gives the forshadowing of Jack trying to win the crowd's heart. I think this is a very interseting place, because the desire of being a leader or celeberity. The image is quite funny, the way Jack is trying to obey Ralph but also getting the position of controlling.

Chapter2----Important and Interesting Passage
Piggy lost his temper.
"I got the conch! Just you listen! The first thing we ought to have made was shelters down there by the beach. It wasn't half cold down there in the night. But the first time Ralph says "fire" you goes howling and screaming up this here mountain. Like a pack of kids!"
-----p45
From this passage, we can see Piggy's scientific and intellectual aspects of civilization. He has good logical and intelligent.Although Piggy has a great deal to offer the boys' fledgling civilization, they see him as a whiny weakling and therefore despise him and refuse to listen to him, even when his ideas are good. But at last, they still have to do what Piggy suggested before ,like light a signal fire, and they also begin to make huts in chapter3. That are things which Piggy suggested at the beginning, but the boys all ignore him. Only when Ralph , Jack or someone else mentions, they begin to think about it and do it.
