The conch shell

The conch shell symbolizes civilization. It's important because it makes things less chaotic. Things becomes  easier when they use the conch shell.  Any of the boys can use it. They mostly use it to speak without being interrupted for the expectation of Ralph. Ralph uses the conch shell to call a meeting or as they call it an assembly.

    The blog really helps to understand the symbolism of the conch shell. The picture also helps to add some humor and see what it looks like. The picture also helps the blog stand out more.

    I understood the symbolism of the conch shell. the picture helped me to understand the blog post better because it helps me to see what a conch is and what it looks like. the picture even added some color to it, and made it look more appealing.

    Greatly made me understand the symbolism of the conch. Not to mention the picture thoroughly shows how it is used. It goes greatly with your page.

    I like how you said that is they didn't have the conch shell there would be chaos, makes sense. your picture is a really good example of how the boys sort of obeyed the conch shell rule. really good job!

Chapter 3 Huts on the beach

Image
Dear Diary, While Ralph and Simon were making the huts by themselves jack and the hunters went hunting for the pig. Ralph is irritated because the huts keep falling down before they are completed and because, though the huts are vital to the boys’ ability to live on the island, none of the other boys besides Simon will help him. As Ralph and Simon work most of the other boys splash about and play in the lagoon. Ralph sees that few of the boys are doing any work. He says that all the boys act excited and energized by the plans they make at meetings, but none of them is willing to work to make the plans into work. And jack still  haven't caught the pig yet. Ralph says that Jack and the hunters are using their hunting skills as an excuse to avoid the real work. And all jacks says to that is we need meat. At the same time Simon was wandering through the jungle alone. And He helps some of the older boys have started to  “littluns”—reach fruit hanging from a high branch. He ...

Symbols

The first symbol is piggy's glasses. piggy wears glasses to see because without his glasses he cant see. And the boys also use it to start the fire.  It symbolizes vision (to see + think). The reason why symbolizes that be cause Piggy needs to see and it also can symbolize the fire so they can get rescued.

Jack uses the face paint to camouflage so he wouldn't be to attractive to the animals. ...

Dear Diary, Ralph and I were just sitting on our side of the island. Watching the liluns play in the water. Then Ralph decided to call a meeting to discuss things. shortly after Ralph went to Jack's side and came across Jack and demand Ralph to leave his tribe. Ralph asks for my glasses  They got into a fight and Jack ordered his hunters to go capture Samneric. They fought again. I tried to tell them about the plan of the rescue but no one was playing attention. next thing I know I see Ralph diving and a boulder hitting my head. Signed, Piggy
