Conch shell

The conch shell symbolizes civilization and fairness. The conch is important because without it the children wouldn’t've established the authority they have also because it keeps the assemblies fair. Ralph is the main user of the conch. It is used when something goes wrong or Ralph feels like there should be a group discussion about something, also when someone is speaking and they do not want to be interrupted. The conch is blown into, to make a loud noise to catch everyone's attention and gather them in a group.

    Yes, I did understand the symbolism of the conch shell. The picture helped me understand better of what the conch shell looked like. I think that it made the blog post better because it gives that clear visual image of what the conch shell in the book may have looked like.

chapter 3 huts on the beach      I got to lazy to continue to help build the shelter or do anything really, so I decided to sit back and watch everyone. I know getting lazy isn't a real excuse to stop helping but its what did. I don't know about this Jack is becoming obsessed with hunting and Ralph is frustrated.      There is a lack of work but its hard to work when there is so much disagreement. How can I tell the boys how I feel with out them laughing or brushing me off? Like about the Beastie I know they don't believe but I can feel one of what ever it is presence and it makes me quezzy. I overheard Jack say he would rather catch a pig before being rescued..... he's going to mess this up for all of us he only cares about himself, why doesn't anyone else see it.      I was laying flat looking at the water but I heard every word of what the other boys were saying. I know they feel like we do...

     William Golding was affected by being a part of D-day because   of the trauma he experienced. Golding was lucky enough to survive even though most of his friends were killed. I think Golding questioned the goodness of mankind because they were at war. If mankind were all good there would have been no need for war. He wouldn't have been fighting for the Jews to be freed if mankind were good because they would have never been captured to begin with.      I think mankind is born with goodness   but their environment is was makes them develop barbaric behavior. I think this because I believe it is impossible for a new born baby is born with selfishness and the ability to be evil because children are born with innocence they don't know any better than what they are taught.

Chapter 1 Dear journal, Its me Piggy, something tragic has happened.     Me and all the other boys from school were in a plane crash. We're stranded on and island with no adults to help us survive. I've met this one boy named Ralph I told him he can call me anything except Piggy because that's what they used to call me at school and I hated it! He started laughing at me and calling me Piggy. I really hate that name.      After getting to know Ralph he isn't a bad kid after all I kind of like him. He came up with a plan to gather all us boys with his conch and it worked. I really wish I wasn't on this island with them, they make fun of my asthma and weight and barely let me talk, why does it always have to be this way? This one boy named Jack never wants to hear what I have to say and I'm sick of it sick of all the boys treating me this way.       We have been trapped here on the island for a couple a days an no ...
