Current Search - Parachute in Lord of the Flies
1 Ralph remembered the ungainly figure on a parachute.
2 The parachute took the figure forward, furrowing the lagoon, and bumped it over the reef and out to sea.
3 There was a speck above the island, a figure dropping swiftly beneath a parachute, a figure that hung with dangling limbs.
4 Then as the blue material of the parachute collapsed the corpulent figure would bow forward, sighing, and the flies settle once more.
5 The figure fell and crumpled among the blue flowers of the mountain-side, but now there was a gentle breeze at this height too and the parachute flopped and banged and pulled.
6 Here the breeze was fitful and allowed the strings of the parachute to tangle and festoon; and the figure sat, its helmeted head between its knees, held by a complication of lines.
7 On the mountain-top the parachute filled and moved; the figure slid, rose to its feet, spun, swayed down through a vastness of wet air and trod with ungainly feet the tops of the high trees; falling, still falling, it sank toward the beach and the boys rushed screaming into the darkness.
