.... higher more money is allocated, than in a poor communities with lower property values.
The poorer communities tend to tax themselves higher than wealthy communities, yet they are still not able to reach the same quality of education.

Even though Jacks' group was separate, when Ralph blew the conch in chapter 10 the boys on Jacks side came out and looked to see what was going on, they still believed in the power of the conch: "He [Ralph] put the conch to his lips and began to blow. Savages appeared, painted out of recognition, edging round the ledge toward the neck. Ralph went on blowing and ignored Piggy's terrors" (175).

Critic On Huckleberry Finn

"Everything connected with Caraolas is neck deep in politics. I am certain that the British have their reasons. I don't wish to take sides" (Kitty Freemont,pg51)
Kitty is confused, and most likely doesn't understand anything at this point, so she decides to go along with the stupidity of the British. The first slight change that we see in Kitty's outlook .....
