THE CONCH

The symbol I chose was the conch shell. I believe it had a strong meaning in the story and represented quite a number of things. For one, the conch represented order in a society. It also represents democratic power. Lastly, when Piggy is crushed with the conch, the conch represented how civilization was eliminated in the boy's society.

It represented order in a society because it controlled the rules and laws for the boys. Before the conch was destroyed, Ralph depended on it as the structure of government for the boys. "They obeyed the summons of the conch partly because Ralph blew it, and he was big enough to be a link with the adult world of authority..." , said Ralph. This quote explains how the conch was respected. The conch represented power because whoever held the conch was the only person able to speak and no one else. "Whoever holds the conch gets to speak", says Ralph. The person with the conch was temporarily respected, but sometimes that rule was broken. When Piggy was killed with the conch, so was the structure and governing of the boys. Jack's clan became more savage and Ralph was the only sane one on the island.

The End !

I love you all.
