"Things are breaking up. I don’t understand why. We began well; we were happy."

This phrase in chapter 5, is meaningful for me because it shows no matter how perfect you may think your life is it could always go to shambles while this is a sad quote, it helps realize that not everyone is perfect. It's also showing to me that you don't have to be perfect.

This is the last voice of absolute reason on the island's final attempt at saving the boys from devolving into absolute savagery. It's a beautiful quote that perfectly sets up Piggy's death and the destruction of the conch which represents law and order on the island. It's special to me because I now understand the message Golding was attempting to convey through the novel Lord Of The Flies.-Brian Valencia

This passage describes the beginning of Roger's cruelty to the younger boys. Roger felt an urge to torture Henry by throwing stones at him. However, the influences from his old life in a civilized society stopped him. This happened before Roger and the other boys lost their respect for civilized life and became savages. (Audrey J)

This remark means a great deal to me now that I've read the novel because it depicts a reference point for society's influence over Jack, the moment in which morality triumphs over barbarism. This comment strikes me as ironic, given that Jack is the same person who tormented the boys and exploited their terror to coerce them into doing what he wanted. It's the foundation of who he was before he morphed into a chaotic beast.

I like this quote from this novel because it means that Piggy is struck (and killed) by the rock and the conch is destroyed. Symbolically, it means that the talisman, that represented order and civilized behavior has also been destroyed. The conch initially established order on the island. And Ralph had used it to summon the boys to meetings which needs to happen in order for the boys in future parts of the novel. (Brooke Huebner)

This quote was my favorite because it is the Piggy's final attempt to talk sense into the boys.
