A student is writing a paper and wishes to prove that Ralph is the first to cast off the vestiges of humanity and symbolically embrace the island. Which of the
following quotes from ch, 1 best support this claim?*
"He became conscious of the weight of clothes, kicked his shoes off fiercely and
ripped off each stocking with its elastic garter in a single movement."
"Ralph stood, hand against a grey trunk, and screwed up his eyes against the
shimmering water."
The sand was thick over his black shoes and the heat hit him."
"He was old enough, twelve years and a few months, to have lost the prominent
tummy of childhood and not yet old enough for adolescence to have made him
awkward."
