What are some phrases which describe the scenery in Lord of the Flies?

From the
start, some of the phrases with describe the scenery of flora and fauna on the island sound
ominous. For instance, in chapter 1, a boy

was clambering
heavily among the creepers and broken trunks when a bird, a vision of red and yellow, flashed
upwards with a witch-like cry ...

Creepers, broken, and
witch-like are descriptive words which create an unsettling tone. In fact, the word
"creeper" is used 38 times in the novel to describe the thick jungle vines, as in

I cant hardly move with all these creeper
things.

In chapter 4, too, the scenery is described in
terms of a mirage:

Strange things happened at midday. The
glittering sea rose up, moved apart in planes of blatant impossibility; the coral reef and the
few stunted palms that clung to the more elevated parts would float up into the sky, would
quiver, be plucked apart, run like raindrops on a wire or be repeated as in an odd succession of
mirrors.

Words like "strange,"
"stunted," "plucked apart," and "odd" add to sense of the setting
as eery or off-kilter. It also contains "snapping sharks," while the sun is likened to
an "angry eye."

In chapter 9, the scenery continues to be ominous
and oppressive. For example:

revolving masses of gas piled
up the static until the air was ready to explode.

We
learn, too, of a "brassy glare" and that nothing "prospered" but flies.
There is a sense of foreboding in this description of setting:

Colors drained from water and trees and pink surfaces of rock, and the white and brown
clouds brooded.

By the end of the novel, after the huge
fire:

the island was scorched up like dead wood

There is much sense of desolation and foreboding in this setting,
which reinforces the theme that evil will explode and destroy in a natural, untamed setting.
