Shadows And Tall Trees

The boys chant and beat Robert.

The time period of the novel is stated to be the 1940's, indicating that the events and setting of the story take place during that specific decade.

Ralph gets the first shot at the boar when it turns.

The statement "Ralph misses the boar" implies that Ralph is not able to hit or catch the boar. Therefore, the correct answer is False, indicating that Ralph does not miss the boar.

The correct answer is Jack, Ralph, and Roger. This is evident from the given options where the only combination that includes all three boys is "Jack, Ralph, and Roger".

After finishing with Robert, Jack suggests using one of the littluns for their "game". This implies that Jack sees the littluns as expendable and views them as potential targets or participants in their violent activities. This suggests a darker and more ruthless side to Jack's character, as he is willing to involve younger and more vulnerable individuals in their dangerous games.

Ralph finally gets to go hunting.

Simon predicts that Ralph will get home alright.

After the pig gets away, Jack takes the attention away from Ralph by showing the boys a wound he received from the pig. This injury captivates and amazes the boys, diverting their attention from Ralph's failure to catch the pig.

The war paint on Jack and the hunters serves as a form of disguise, allowing them to detach themselves from their true identities and inhibitions. This anonymity gives them a sense of freedom and empowerment, making them more willing to engage in savage and violent behavior that they wouldn't normally consider. Additionally, the war paint also symbolizes unity within the group, as they all adopt the same appearance, further strengthening their bond and collective identity. Therefore, the correct answer is that the war paint makes the boys more willing to do things they wouldn't normally do.
