 * “They accepted the pleasures of morning, the bright sun, the whelming sea and sweet air, a time when play was good and life so full that hope was not necessary and therefore forgotten.” (60) **
 * "Piggy was mooning about, __aimlessly__ picking up things and discarding them." (64) **
 * The word aimlessly means: without purpose; without aim. So Golding makes Piggy seem like he's feeling hopeless and without a purpose by the way he scopes the island. **
