LOTF

       An important seen in LOTF was the seen where Piggy is killed. This is important because one of the main characters are killed, but also the conch is destroyed. First off Piggy, he has been a very logical character. He has represented intellect, reason, and, logic. He has tried to maintain order through out the book. When he is killed it represents the death of all of theses traits. Next is the conch, it represents order and them working together. It gets shattered into pieces and that represents the breaking of everyone working well together.
         Another thing to look at is the person who killed them which was Roger. Earlier in the book Roger is seen throwing rocks at at little kid but not being able to actually hit him. Now Roger pushes a boulder onto Piggy. This shows the progression of savagery from Roger and how he's become a sociopath. Also this shows how people are changing and how if this keeps going on they may all get killed.

  1. I agree that the scene where Piggy was killed is an important one. I think the conch being destroyed shows he unity of the island also being destroyed. Great post!
