Analyze pg. 31
In this passage imagery is widely used. "They found a piglet caught in a curtaing of creepers, throwing itself at the elastic traces in all the madness of extreme terror. Its voice was thing, needle-sharp, insistent". The effect of the use of this literary device creates and sets a mood for the reader allowing them to clearly visualize the situation. This makes it better to understand the situation, which is a dark and gloomy part of the story.

Good example of imagery and it is certainly true that the imagery allows us to visualize the scene. What, ultimately, is the effect of this visualization? Why do you think Golding makes a point of putting us in the position where we can picture what's happening?
