• "The thing is - fear can't hurt you any more than a dream."

• "The conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist."

"Roger stooped, picked up a stone, aimed and threw it at Henry- threw it to miss. The stone, that token if preposterous time, bounced five yards to Henry's right and fell in the water. Roger gathered a handful of stones and began to throw them. Yet there was a space round Henry, perhaps six yards in diameter, into which he dare not throw. Here, invisible yet strong, was a taboo of the old life. Round he squatting child was the protection of parents and school and policemen and the law. Roger was conditioned by a civilization that knew nothing of him and was in ruins."

WHY?

• The writer wrote this to display true human nature
• To show order, versus savagery
• To show fear in dire situations
• To make readers question society, and how it trains people
