“We may stay here till we die. ” With that word the heat began to increase till it became a threatening weight and the lagoon attacked them with a blinding effulgence. (1. 125)
Piggy and Ralph don’t know if anybody else is on the island at this point Foreshadowing – though Piggy means that they will be there for along time, until they die, one can not help but echo these words when Piggy is killed. “We may stay here till we die. ” With that word the heat began to increase till it became a threatening weight and the lagoon attacked them with a blinding effulgence. (1. 125) Pathetic fallacy – the weather appears hotter – all of a sudden the boys feel the “weight” of the heat. The “weight” is a metaphor used to describe the pressure, fear and responsibility that is now cast upon the boys. The lagoon is “highlighted” here – it is so bright that rays of light seem to be shining out of it. This could symbolise the lagoon’s importance as a place of safety – they boys bathe there, cleansing themselves. It is also a place of beauty and the meetings take place next to it.

Quote for LOTF “We may stay here till we die. ”
Quote for LOTF It also shows Piggy to be worried about the future and how much he really wants to leave already. When Piggy uses the word “die” it brings the element of real fear that they think they will only leave when they die. “We may stay here till we die. ” Piggy and Ralph didn’t know if anyone else or anything else was on the island he was already. It shows that piggy isn't very optimistic about getting off this island. Also at this point both Piggy and Ralph didn’t know that where they were was an Island this shows when Piggy says “here”.
Quote of Blood Brothers The idea of the bogey man reminds the reader that they are still just boys "There's no such thing as a bogey man. It's a-a superstition" By saying superstition they are trying to comfort others. The use of the double “a -a” could show a sign of fright or they are trying to think of another explanation.
