Several times, children ask where the adults are. Give two examples and explain why they are significant.

Several times, children ask where the adults are. Give two examples and explain why they are significant. '"Aren't there any grown-ups at all?" "I don't think so." The fair boy said this solemnly; but then the delight of a realised ambition overcame him... "No grown-ups!"' This example shows that the children are initially delighted to be free from their parents and the rule of grown-ups; they can do whatever they want for as long as they like. But soon the children realise they need to take action on their situation: '"Aren't there any grown-ups?" "No." ..."Then we'll have to look after ourselves." Secure on the other side of Ralph, Piggy spoke timidly. "That's why Ralph made a meeting. So as we can decide what to do."' These two quotations are significant because the boys have decided to take responsibility, and in doing so behave similar to grown-ups. |

They show the step the boys took into becoming more grown up themselves

These two quotations are significant because the boys have decided to take responsibility, and in doing so behave similar to grown-ups. The children have come to realise after they believe their are no parents around that their initial celebration was actually uncalled for. All the boys start to realise that they must take care of themselves from now on, which is obviously going to scare them a bit as presumably a majority of these boys have had an adult figure in their lives to take care of them. |

These two quotations are significant because the boys have decided to take responsibility, and in doing so behave similar to grown-ups. i agree that these two quotes show that the kids have taken some responsibility and are behaving a bit more maturely. they show that the first celebration was silly and they have to be grown up about the situation and not be happy that the grown ups are gone. |

These two quotations are significant because the boys have decided to take responsibility, and in doing so behave similar to grown-ups. These two quotes show first the childish notion that having now grown ups around means more fun and no rules. Then in the second quote it's clearly seen that the harsh reality has hit the boys, there's no grownups to look after them. How will they survive on their own? |

I think that the boys feels as though they don't need grown ups and can fend for themselves. They probably can fend for themselves to a certain extent, but I don't think they realise that they will soon miss having adults there to help them. |
