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 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 walks

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. The face paint symbolizes savagery because

Dear Diary, So I currently died and I'm watching everything up in heaven. I see Ralph hiding in the jungle tryin to hide away from Jack. Ralph comes across the stick with the pig's head o the top. he takes off the head and uses the stick as a weapon to defend himself. he went passed the castle rock and saw the twins. They gave him food. They told him Jack's plans of what he's doing tomorrow. then he falls asleep. Ralph smells smoke and leaves his hiding spot.  He fights away Jack and his hunters on the way. He ends up at the beach. and Ralph sees a officer standing over him. he tells jack the he seen the fire and there is a ship to recue them. And Jack and his hunters came along too. the officer assumes that the boys were playing. He questions them how did they loose all the their respect for the rules of civilization in a short amount of time. The boys became so overwhelmed and embarrassed that they all started crying. And the boys started regaining their self-control
