In the Lord of the Flies what does Roger aim just to miss?
For all of his life Roger, like other boys, has been told by adults not to do certain things, such as throwing stones at people and things. So despite his genuine desire to throw stones at Henry, with the intention of hitting and hurting the littlun, the years of 'conditioning' caused him to subconsciously throw wide of the target. Later in the book Roger overcame his 'conditioning' and allowed his true nature to blossom, with fatal results for Piggy.
Who is affected by the taboo of the old life?
Roger when he threw stones at Henry. Roger really wanted to throw the stones directly at Henry, to hurt him, but years of obeying rules and conventions meant that he kept throwing the stones too wide and missing Henry.
Where is Henry Thomas today?
He is still acting and performing in a band, a link to his wiki page is below.
In Lord of the Flies which page has the word furtive?
In my edition of the book the word 'furtive' appears as part of the description of Roger on page 23 of chapter 1: the Sound of the Shell. In my copy (the one with piggy and the huge fly on the cover) furtive is on page 22 and 49.
Who sang the song 'Little Green Apples'?
The first version was sung by Roger Miller.The song was later recorded by Patti Page (in 1968); and then most successfully in a modified R&B version by O.C. Smith, which reached #2 on the Billboard Top 100. The song was written by Bobby Russell.(See the lyrics via the Related links. Also listen to Roger Miller singing his version of the song.)
