Everyone has a part of them that keeps them from doing the bad things that they are capable of. Sometimes it lies within them, where they somewhat have control, sometimes it lies somewhere that can not be controlled, it could be in friends or people around you. When they do not have control, For the boys in Lord Of The Flies, by William Golding, Piggy is the slightest chance of hope that keeps the group from letting their id completely take over their sanity, therefore turning into complete and utter savages.

When there is information, there is enlightenment. When there is debate, there are solutions. When there is no sharing of power, no rule of law, no accountability, there is abuse, corruption, subjugation, and indignation.” This is a quote by Atifete Jahjaga. This quote, in a way, represents another one of Piggy’s philosophies in life. In Chapter 2, Piggy continuously repeats the fact that he has the conch so he has the right to speak because it was a rule that they established. He’s restating it multiple times because, like in England, you have to obey the rules there and he’s attempting to push those laws there onto the island. Without these rules, there would be the “abuse, corruption, subjugation, and indignation” that the quote is talking about- but in the story’s case, savagery.

The Conch showed the unity of the boys too. Ralph used it for calling an assembly, and communicate with others and keeping the peace between the boys.

Throughout the novel “lord of the flies”, symbols are commonly found and used as an influence on the attitude of the character towards a civilized behavior. Author, William Golding who wrote this novel, had decided to use it for different types of purposes, showing how the attitude of the characters will develop towards civilization over a period of time. At the beginning of the novel, the conch symbolized as democracy, played a very important role in the story which had a huge impact on the boy’s behavior due to it being used as an object to command and demand the characters, showing that they still have respect to the rules of a civilized community. An example from a quote would be, “I have the conch, I have the right to speak”, said Piggy including, “Jack doesn't throw it or smash it; he sets it down carefully.

Golding uses personification to paint a picture of an out of control fire. The fire starts out small and quickly spread from tree to tree, burning a large portion of the mountainside.

“We have disharmony in our natures. We cannot live together without injuring each other “

The novel Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding is a very iconic book in my opinion. This novel consists mostly of symbolism. Lord of the Flies talked about the relationship of teenage boys who survived a plane crash together. The boys are all on their own and struggling. They encounter many incidences that comply symbolism. A couple of the acts of symbolism are the beast the boys kept imagining, Piggy’s glasses, and the conch. The boys are all afraid of the beast, Piggy’s glasses demonstrate the fact that he saw everything more clear then the boys and how he started the fire. Lastly, the last of the most important symbolisms in the novel is the conch, showing the civilization and order.

William Golding's Lord of the Flies is a novel about a group of English school boys who are stranded on a tropical island after their plane has been attacked and crashes during World War II. In the beginning, the boys like being on their own without adults. The boys separate into two groups, led by Jack and Ralph. Jack is obsessed with hunting, and he and his group pay do not pay attention. Ralph is concerned about keeping a rescue fire lit so they will have a chance to be rescued, but no one else seems too concerned about it.

Thesis: Three essential symbols that have a negative impact on the story are the conch, Piggy’s eyeglasses and the impaled pigs head.

Throughout the story, the conch is used to call assemblies and keep order. When a group of boys crash and end up stranded on an unknown Island two characters - Piggy and Ralph find a conch. Ralph later uses the conch to develop a sense of democracy within assemblies. Rules have been made pertaining to the proper use. When holding the conch you are granted a right to speak without interruption. Upon hearing the call of the conch the boys gather together for a meeting. Golding writes, “He faced the place of assembly and put the conch to his lips [...] The others were waiting and came straight away” (Golding, 78). This quote proves the conch provides stability and power because the boys drop everything they are doing when hearing the call. Golding also writes, “The booing rose and died again as Piggy lifted the white, magic shell” (Goulding, 180). This quote shows how everybody is respectful towards the conch and the rules that follow.

When scenes from William Golding’s novel, The Lord of the Flies, have been deleted, the story becomes packed with nonstop fascination. Because The Lord of the Flies is way too long, cuts need to be made. William Golding incorporates many scenes into the book that are unnecessary; therefore, several scenes are to be deleted from the book to bring out the overall importance of the story. However, there are certain scenes that are to be left alone to preserve the meaning of the book about how society falls apart without adults.
