squat was safe from all shame or egotism consciousness, behind the mask of his blusher (Golding-125). In the book Lord Of The Flies, The symbols of the Conch, and Piggies spectacles represent order, logic, and civilisation within the microcosm of the island the kids argon stuck on. But these two symbols, which argon at first originful motifs, are later on everyplaceruled by the evil within all of them. This evil is is triggered by the face paint they wear. What at first is a game turns into a type of camouflage cover, releasing the boys from all shame, allowing them to become savages. They are hidden from the values of bon ton and give in to their state of nature selfs.I observed that in the beginning, the conch holds the ultimate berth on the island. It dictates what has to be done, and allows Ralph to nurse control over the rest of kids simulating a mini society. This is displayed when Ralph is elected as chief Him with the shell. Ralph Ralph let him be chief with the trum pet thing (Golding page___). This quote shows how the kids think that the power comes from the conch, and is a sign of protection, order, and leadership.The Conch also illustrates order because you must have the Conch to mouth in an assembly or meeting similar to the rules in class.

The symbols of order in the book are overpowered by human nature and the lack of authority. We learn that society is held together by symbols of power.

Once rules are gone, revolt breaks out and the evil or beast within us comes free. civilised behaviour is fake, left on their own humans are violent. The human race is a cruel place and that the only person you can rightfully count on , and trust is yourself.
