Quote from Lord of the Flies ...?
I flipped as much as I could through the book. I found: "What are we? Humans? Or animals? Or savages? What's grownups going to think? Going off - hunting pigs - letting fires out - and now!" Lord of the Flies, Chapter Five - Beast from Water, page 91. -------- "Grownups know things," said Piggy. "They ain't afraid of the dark. They'd meet and have tea and discuss. Then things 'ud be all right--" "They wouldn't set fire to the island. Or lose--" "They'd build a ship--" The three boys stood in the darkness, striving unsuccessfully to convey the majesty of adult life. "They wouldn't quarrel--" "Or break my specs--" "Or talk about a beast--" "If only they could get a message to us," cried Ralph desperately. "If only they could send us something grownup ... a sign or something." Lord of the Flies, Chapter Five - Beast from Water, page 94. I'm afraid that's all I could find. I hope I've helped!
What does "For Whom the Bell Tolls" mean?
The title "For Whom the Bell Tolls" comes from this statement written by John Donne in his book "Devotions upon Emergent Occasions":No man is an island,Entire of itself.Each is a piece of the continent,A part of the main.If a clod be washed away by the sea,Europe is the less.As well as if a promontory were.As well as if a manor of thine ownOr of thine friend's were.Each man's death diminishes me,For I am involved in mankind.Therefore, send not to knowFor whom the bell tolls,It tolls for theeThe parts of this statement that help to understand the context of the title have been bold-faced. It basically talks about how the entire human race is one entity and how we all are responsible for each other.The phrase "For whom the bell tolls" refers to the church bells that are rung when a person dies. Hence, the author is suggesting that we should not be curious as to for whom the church bell is tolling for. It is for all of us.

Please, What does " Partridge in a pear tree " means in the Christmas song " The twelve days of Christmas ?
The Twelve Days of Christmas is a children's rhyme that was originally published in a book called Mirth without Mischief in London around 1780. It was originally a memory and forfeit game and it was played by gathering a circle of players and each person took it in turns to say the first line of the rhyme. When it is the first player's turn again he says the second line of the verse and so on. 100 years later the game and rhyme were adopted by Lady Gomme (an English collector of folktales and rhymes) as a rhyme that "the whole family could have fun singing every twelfth night before Christmas before eating mince pies and twelfth cake" The verses are as follows: Twelve Drummers Drumming Eleven Pipers Piping Ten Lords a-leaping Nine Ladies Dancing Eight Maids a-milking Seven Swans a-swimming Six Geese a-laying Five Gold Rings Four Calling Birds Three French Hens Two Turtle Doves and A Partridge in a Pear Tree From: The Reader's Digest Merry Christmas Songbook, published 1981. A partridge is a bird and is sitting in a tree with pears.
