Quotes from Lord of the Flies about the characters?

Answer 1

Roger, who was described as being a furtive boy who kept to himself with an inner intensity of avoidance and secrecy, said very little. Porbably his most characteristic remark was when Jack began to poke Sam rhymically in the ribs after the twins were captured. Roger edged past Jack and said simply "That's not the way." The implication being that he knew (from experience?) a much more painful way of questioning the twins. Later when at least one of the twins had disclosed Ralph's hiding place in the thicket Roger was heard to say, and I quote... "If you're fooling us---" Immediately after this, there came a gasp, and a squeal of pain.
