Just pages before this passage Ralph is being brutally chased through the forest with the intentions of being killed. The savages are not longer acting like humans until all of a sudden they are all standing together on the beach by the officer.
Alan Bradley includes a variety of literary elements and concepts in order to get his point across. He creates an intriguing protagonist in Flavia de Luce, who propels the plot and brings the novel to life. In The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, Bradley’s use of youthful idealism, eloquent imagery, and dynamic tone emphasize Flavia’s positive attitude to contradict traditional ideas of intelligence. To begin with, Bradley conveys Flavia’s always-positive attitude many times throughout the story. For example, when Flavia’s investigation to find whether her father is innocent or not keeps failing, she sticks with it.
The author’s foreshadowing, irony, and symbolism help convey the idea that family is more important than money or material possessions. The author uses irony of saying their life is happy because they have a lot of money, although they are not living a happy life shows that you do not need money to live a happy life, money cannot buy happiness. The children acting wild and powerful is because they symbolize the lions that killed their parents. If the children get to carried away and not pay attention to their family, they will shut them out of their lives. Also, when the parents found a wallet with lion saliva on it, that foreshadows there will soon be danger, which was their death.

However, she absolutely finds it romantic how her mom and dad met, contrary to her mother who felt she had to marry the guy.

The presence of a child in Stephen King’s novels must be understood as a collapse of American family structure. King uses them to show the imperfection of adults. They hold diverse positions when it comes to being the instrument of evil and destruction. In his other books children are depicted as the little zombie animals, in some others as the helpless victims of a malevolent entity or the adults and in some as the innocent creatures controlled by malicious spirit itself.
