These are pretty good in relation to the relationships between the boys and such etc but try to look at the quotes that aren't from the dialogue. Those types of quotes usually when studied at can help you read between the lines at what William Golding is really try to make the reader understand when reading his novel. For example "Simon became inarticulate in his efforts to express mankinds essential illness", "Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of mans heart and the fall through the air of the wise, true friend called Piggy".  "Not even Ralph knew how a linked between him and Jack had been broken and fastened somewhere else" this quote is especially useful for describing and looking into the relationship between Jack and Ralph and how it relates to the main themes of the novel, e.g. Good and Evil, Law and Order against Crowd mentality, etc.

I hope that helps to make the work you've done even better have any Q's just ask. I quite like this book. :D

Well Done though x :)
