The kids on the island are deciding who is going to become their chief, "'Him with the shell.” “Ralph! Ralph!” “Let him be chief with the trumpet-thing.” Ralph raised a hand for silence. “All right. Who wants Jack for chief?” With dreary obedience the choir raised their hands. “Who wants me?” Every hand outside the choir except Piggy’s was raised immediately. Then Piggy, too, raised his hand grudgingly into the air. Ralph counted. “I’m chief then.”' (22 Golding).

At the start of the song One Love, they talk about coming together, and this quote is when Ralph and the conch make the kids unite under him. The conch gives leadership and connections.

Ralph is calling an assembly with the conch so that he can tell everyone on the island what needs to start being done, "'The thing is: we need an assembly.” No one said anything but the faces turned to Ralph were intent. He flourished the conch. He had learnt as a practical business that fundamental statements like this had to be said at least twice, before everyone understood them. One had to sit, attracting all eyes to the conch, and drop words like heavy round stones among the little groups that crouched or squatted. He was searching his mind for simple words so that even the littluns would understand what the assembly was about. Later perhaps, practised debaters—Jack, Maurice, Piggy—would use their whole art to twist the meeting: but now at the beginning the subject of the debate must be laid out clearly. “We need an assembly. Not for fun. Not for laughing and falling off the log”—the group of littluns on the twister giggled and looked at each other—“not for making jokes, or for”—he lifted the conch in an effort to find the compelling word—“for cleverness. Not for these things. But to put things straight."" (78-79 Golding).

The song, Happy Together, is about people joining together and having fun, and the conch brings the kids on the island together so that they can talk about things that they need to get done or do.

Ralph and his group are trying to get back Piggy's glasses but the rebellious group won't give them back, "“I tell you, I got the conch!” Surprisingly, there was silence now; the tribe were curious to hear what amusing thing he might have to say. Silence and pause; but in the silence a curious air-noise, close by Ralph’s head. He gave it half his attention—and there it was again; a faint “Zup!” Someone was throwing stones: Roger was dropping them, his one hand still on the lever. Below him, Ralph was a shock of hair and Piggy a bag of fat. ... By him stood Piggy still holding out the talisman, the fragile, shining beauty of the shell. ... High overhead, Roger, with a sense of delirious abandonment, leaned all his weight on the lever. Ralph heard the great rock before he saw it. He was aware of a jolt in the earth that came to him through the soles of his feet, and the breaking sound of stones at the top of the cliff. Then the monstrous red thing bounded across the neck and he flung himself flat while the tribe shrieked. The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee; the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist. Piggy, saying nothing, with no time for even a grunt, traveled through the air sideways from the rock, turning over as he went. The rock bounded twice and was lost in the forest. Piggy fell forty feet and landed on his back across the square red rock in the sea. His head opened and stuff came out and turned red. Piggy’s arms and legs twitched a bit, like a pig’s after it has been killed. Then the sea breathed again in a long, slow sigh, the water boiled white and pink over the rock; and when it went, sucking back again, the body of Piggy was gone." (180 Golding).

This song, Appetite for Destruction, is a song about how they want to destroy things and kill people, and Robert kills Piggy and destroys the conch. The conch loses its meaning and no one respects it anymore.

The kids on the island are having a meeting and one of the littluns says that they have seen something in the forest, “He wants to know what you’re going to do about the snake-thing.” Ralph laughed, and the other boys laughed with him. The small boy twisted further into himself. “Tell us about the snake-thing.” “Now he says it was a beastie.” “Beastie?” “A snake-thing. Ever so big. He saw it.” “Where?” “In the woods.” Either the wandering breezes or perhaps the decline of the sun allowed a little coolness to lie under the trees. The boys felt it and stirred rest- lessly. “You couldn’t have a beastie, a snake-thing, on an island this size,” Ralph explained kindly. “You only get them in big countries, like Africa, or India.” (Golding 35-36).

The song Somebody's Watching Me connects to the quote because the littleluns are scared because they think that something is watching them, and the song talks about how he feels like someones always watching them.

The kids are scared because they think that they saw a beast in the woods, "Far beneath them, the trees of the forest sighed, then roared. The hair on their foreheads fluttered and flames blew out sideways from the fire. Fifteen yards away from them came the plopping noise of fabric blown open. Neither of the boys screamed but the grip of their arms tightened and their mouths grew peaked. For perhaps ten seconds they crouched like that while the flailing fire sent smoke and sparks and waves of inconstant light over the top of the mountain. Then as though they had but one terrified mind between them they scrambled away over the rocks and fled." (98 Golding).

The song Scared of the Dark connects to this quote because they both say they're not scared but deep down they are and don't know what to do.

Jake and his group are dancing in a circle then Simon runs in, "Now out of the terror rose another desire, thick, urgent, blind. “Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!” Again the blue-white scar jagged above them and the sulphurous ex-plosion beat down. The littluns screamed and blundered about, fleeing from the edge of the forest, and one of them broke the ring of biguns in his terror. “Him! Him!” The circle became a horseshoe. A thing was crawling out of the forest. It came darkly, uncertainly. The shrill screaming that rose before the beast was like a pain. The beast stumbled into the horseshoe. “Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!” The blue-white scar was constant, the noise unendurable. Simon was crying out something about a dead man on a hill. “Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood! Do him in!” The sticks fell and the mouth of the new circle crunched and screamed. The beast was on its knees in the center, its arms folded over its face. It was crying out against the abominable noise something about a body on the hill. The beast struggled forward, broke the ring and fell over the steep edge of the rock to the sand by the water. At once the crowd surged after it, poured down the rock, leapt on to the beast, screamed, struck, bit, tore. There were no words, and no movements but the tearing of teeth and claws." (152-153 Golding).

This song connects with the quote because it talks about how this girl is murdered and Simon is murdered by Jake and the savages.
