Ralph sees the conch and immediately thinks that it's something special. Ralph is the one to spot the conch and use it. Piggy explains how to blow through it, but Ralph is the one that blows it and brings the boys together, because of the conch and Ralph's leadership he becomes the leader of the boys.]]> 2016-10-26 20:55:52 UTC https://padlet.com/bacondude214/ybwjx6k7a5l5/wish/133480085 Chapter 1 B.S. brsco190 https://padlet.com/bacondude214/ybwjx6k7a5l5/wish/133480243 "His ordinary voice sounded like a whisper after the harsh notes of the conch" (Golding 21).]]> 2016-10-26 20:57:01 UTC https://padlet.com/bacondude214/ybwjx6k7a5l5/wish/133480243 Ch.2 tylermiller895 https://padlet.com/bacondude214/ybwjx6k7a5l5/wish/133480445 "He can hold it when he's speaking and won't be interrupted" (Golding 45).

It represents all the boys being able to come together. Even while being on giant island they can meet in one spot and discuss. It also signifies power since while someone holds it the group is suppose to show respect and listen to that one person.

"'And another thing.  We can't have everybody talking at once.  We'll have to have 'Hands up' like at school.'


He held the conch before his face and glanced round the mouth.


'Then I'll give him the conch.'


'Conch?'


'That's what this thing is called.  I'll give the conch to the next person to speak.  He can hold it when he's speaking.'"

It represents getting rid of all authority and control. The reader can guess this is being foreshadowed right after it occurs. Which is accurate considering all of the boys seperated and turned against one another. There is now no control, plans, or authority]]> 2016-11-30 20:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/bacondude214/ybwjx6k7a5l5/wish/140967376 michaelnorton12 https://padlet.com/bacondude214/ybwjx6k7a5l5/wish/140968784 "The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee; the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist" (Golding 260).

This shows how the conch was destroyed, Piggy was holding the conch and was then smashed by a boulder and fell off a cliff holding the conch. The conch was shattered immediately. The meaning of the conch being destroyed is that it will ruin order and authority.]]> 2016-11-30 21:03:11 UTC https://padlet.com/bacondude214/ybwjx6k7a5l5/wish/140968784 michaelnorton12 https://padlet.com/bacondude214/ybwjx6k7a5l5/wish/140969357 2016-11-30 21:06:43 UTC https://padlet.com/bacondude214/ybwjx6k7a5l5/wish/140969357 brsco190 https://padlet.com/bacondude214/ybwjx6k7a5l5/wish/140969522 2016-11-30 21:07:35 UTC https://padlet.com/bacondude214/ybwjx6k7a5l5/wish/140969522 bacondude214 https://padlet.com/bacondude214/ybwjx6k7a5l5/wish/141107375 The conch represents order. This is shown by two main things, when the savages attacked the boys, they left the conch. Also, when piggy dies and the conch breaks, that is the moment that everyone turns savage and animalistic, Samneric get tied up, and Ralph flees, relying on his instincts to keep him safe.]]> 2016-12-01 14:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/bacondude214/ybwjx6k7a5l5/wish/141107375 bacondude214 https://padlet.com/bacondude214/ybwjx6k7a5l5/wish/141109022 2016-12-01 14:27:56 UTC https://padlet.com/bacondude214/ybwjx6k7a5l5/wish/141109022 esgod337 https://padlet.com/bacondude214/ybwjx6k7a5l5/wish/141226923 2016-12-01 19:04:33 UTC https://padlet.com/bacondude214/ybwjx6k7a5l5/wish/141226923 esgod337 https://padlet.com/bacondude214/ybwjx6k7a5l5/wish/141230290 "the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist."
