Read the sentence from Lord of the Flies.

They walked along, two continents of experience and feeling, unable to communicate.
Why might William Golding have chosen the phrase "two continents of experience and feeling"?
O to signal an unspoken understanding between Ralph and Jack
O to underscore the boys' isolation from civilization
O to foreshadow the boys' impending rescue
to emphasize the separateness of Ralph and Jack
