I know this because the first time he saw the pig he couldn't kill it and others were making fun of him, so then he started talking about how next time he wont show no mercy. after that he slowly started to lose his civility and started to become more of a savage. I also know this because in chapter four Jack made a mask to hide his identity for when he goes hunting]]> 2019-02-26 18:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jbrand8/lb9wmfdktf5w/wish/335534017 https://padlet.com/jbrand8/lb9wmfdktf5w/wish/335534311 In Lord of the Flies, the conch is symbolizes leadership and power. The role of the conch among the boys is to call meetings. In each meeting, they person who holds the conch has the right to speak. For instance, in the text, it states, ¨None of the boys would have found good reason for this; what intelligence had been shown was traceable to Piggy while the most obvious leader was Jack. But there was a stillness about Ralph as he sat that marked him out: there was his size, and attractive appearance; and most obscurely, yet most powerfully, there was the conch. The being that had blown that, had sat waiting for them on the platform with the delicate thing balanced on his knees, was set apart¨ This shows the conch symbolizes leadership because here Ralph was chosen as the leader mainly because to he was the one holding the shell. ]]> 2019-02-26 18:05:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jbrand8/lb9wmfdktf5w/wish/335534311 https://padlet.com/jbrand8/lb9wmfdktf5w/wish/335534524 The Mask symbolizes evil. When mask paints the mask it shows a different side of him. When Jack puts the mask on he's a blood thirsty killer ready to kill something, whatever a pig, a human, anything he can get his hands on. one example of this is that Jack is determined to kill the pig not for survival but for the fun of it.]]> 2019-02-26 18:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jbrand8/lb9wmfdktf5w/wish/335534524 ashishir2020 https://padlet.com/jbrand8/lb9wmfdktf5w/wish/335534633 The mask that jack is wearing symbolizes power and his want for blood and violence. it also represents anonymous, or like a new person, when Jack puts it on, its almost as if he's a whole new person. As stated in the text after Jack "planned his new face", "He looked in astonishment, no longer at himself but at the awesome stranger".]]> 2019-02-26 18:06:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jbrand8/lb9wmfdktf5w/wish/335534633 https://padlet.com/jbrand8/lb9wmfdktf5w/wish/335534807 In Lord Of The Flies the mask symbolizes something,especially for Jack. This mask is hiding Jack's identity but the others are scared and shocked by it. This mask has shown power and his wants to kill and violence. For example in the text it states, "Beside his sinewy body held up a mask that drew their eyes and appalled them." This shows that this mask had power out of all of the boys and it's impact to control them. It also states, "Bloodthirsty snarling. The mask compelled them." This indicates that Jack has become obsessed with killing and that all of the boys are too scared to not follow him. This represents what the mask symbolizes.]]> 2019-02-26 18:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jbrand8/lb9wmfdktf5w/wish/335534807 https://padlet.com/jbrand8/lb9wmfdktf5w/wish/335535121 Piggy's glasses symbolizes survival because they need Piggy's glasses to survive. In the text it states "Piggy's specs!' shouted Ralph. If the fire's all out, we'll need them. This shows survival because without Piggy's glasses the fire won't start, without the fire there will be no signal that there are people living. So, they need Piggy to survive, yet they think he's useless. Piggy is trying to make ideas but, no one is listening to them.

In the story it says " i tried to get over that hill to see if there was water all round. But your shell called us." Ralph smiled and held up the conch for silence. This shows that how important the conch is to call mettings while needed. ]]> 2019-02-26 18:07:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jbrand8/lb9wmfdktf5w/wish/335535318 https://padlet.com/jbrand8/lb9wmfdktf5w/wish/335535328  The Conch symbolizes leadership, because Ralph was the one that blew the conch in order to call a meeting, as the story continues, the group picked Ralph as the chief since he is the one to hold the Conch. The Conch actually controls the people to come to whoever is blowing the Conch. For example according to the article it states "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; and partly because they enjoyed the entertainment of the assemblies". This shows how the purpose the conch was to gather up and create a meeting, this may not always work, however, it works when they are nearby.]]> 2019-02-26 18:07:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jbrand8/lb9wmfdktf5w/wish/335535328 https://padlet.com/jbrand8/lb9wmfdktf5w/wish/335535603 The Conch represents power. The conch represents power because Ralph can call a meeting at any moment and people would come. It kind of controls them because they listen to it and follow it. Also when everyone is there at the meeting people have to hold the conch to be able talk, and everyone else listen. It gives that person talking power for that moment because they are able to talk and everyone listens to them. In the text it says, "Ralph smiled and held up the conch for silence" That means that everyone there at the meeting shushed when he held it up. That shows leadership and power. Everyone respects the conch and whoever is holding it. In the text it also says, "The smaller boys obeyed the summons of the conch" That shows that the smaller boys obeyed/listened to the conch which means they respect it and that gives power to the person holding it. ]]> 2019-02-26 18:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jbrand8/lb9wmfdktf5w/wish/335535603 https://padlet.com/jbrand8/lb9wmfdktf5w/wish/335535894 In Lord of the Flies the Conch symbolizes power because who ever holds it can call meetings and is the leader. For example it says "Ralph smiled and held up the conch for silence". This shows how the others respects Ralph because he holds the conch. Also it says "The smaller boys obeyed the summons of the conch". This shows how even the smaller boys respects him because he holds the conch.

The Mask helps readers distinguish between when groups of characters are good or bad by showing which characters are more violent than others and which characters are more peaceful.

For example in the text it states "the mask was a thing on its own, behind which Jack hid, liberated from shame and self consciousness. The face of red and white and black swung through the air and jigged toward Bill. Bill started up laughing; then suddenly he fell silent and blundered away through the bushes.
