Lucky you.
miss how likely is it that the littluns come up? because i dont know hardly anything about them?
ReplyDeleteNot sure, but there won't be a question about them on their own as you are so limited... (I would think so anyway!)
ReplyDeleteYou could do a quick Google about them, but essentially they represent the masses and show the impact of tyrannical leadership on the masses (Samneric do this in more detail). They also function to give the boys elevated status; they are expected to look after them and give them a sense of responsibility. Furthermore, it could be seen that the boys may not have descended into chaos if it had simply been the biguns. The littluns make then seem like a tribe rather than a few boys...
Don't worry about what you don't know though! You've got the skills to do well at this now.
