Conch Shell


The conch shell symbolizes a way of civilization. If someone has it they can speak if they don’t they cant. This is important so the group is not out of hand and it is civil so they can get things done. The boys use it to talk and Ralph uses it to call meetings. It is used for talking without interruption and it is also used if there is an assembly needed so it happens at the time Ralph calls them.

Chapter 4

Today I was furious everything went wrong, so let me start off with that Jack is the one who is supposed to start the fire and make sure the fire stays lit. The hunters and Jack went out to go hunt that pig that he clearly can't stop till he kills it. So he went out to go hunting for it and it was the wrong day not to start the fire. Today a boat went by and sense the fire went out the could not see us. This got me very upset because this could be the only chance we could have went home.   So now you can image I'm am furriest at Jack because all he cares about is that dumb pig and it is more important to be rescued the n to kill the pig. Then later on him and his hunters come back covered in blood chanting this bizarre chant about them killing this pig. Then I told Jack what happened and he really didn’t seem to care and now I'm very mad that I always have to do everything. So then I took a walk and decided that I was going to call a meeting but in this meeting things a...

chapter 6

Dear diary, Today there was a dog fight over the island. So me and Simon walked the kids to bed. We had Sam and Eric on the look out to see what was going on but they were no uses because they had fallen asleep. Then Sam and Eric woke up and came running to me saying when they were trying to keep the fire up they saw the beastie.  I called a meeting immediately after they said that they saw a beastie. So we went looking for it with spears. We went on a part of the island that we have never walked on before. This time I lead the hunt me and Jack went in the cave searching for the beastie while the rest of the boys went to the hillside and started to climb. But all it was is a dead person with a parachute.

chapter 5

Today is the day I call the meeting. I was just walking across the beach and thinking about how I was not such a great leader that I thought I was. So the meeting today will be about me being not such a good leader and how we can get are group into line. So I will call the meeting later on in the day. Now it is time for me to call the meeting. So I'm blowing the conch shell. Everyone is here now. He goes my big speech. There is nobody working no one is getting water, no shelters are built, no one uses the bathroom area. This is getting out of line. There is also no monsters or beast on this island. A few of the littluns spoke up and said that they saw the beast themselves but I don’t believe it. Then Jack runs away and the rest of the boys ran after him. The only people that are left is piggy, Simon, and I. this is no good so Piggy told me to blow the conch shell but it was ignored. Then I had a plan we have to find the and restore civilization and leadership.
