At this point the boys are getting sick of Piggy trying to be in charge of all just because of his brains. The boys couldn’t put up with it much longer. Piggy’s passing captured a reluctant on what was going to happen next in the story as well. "The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee; the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist." (pg.
This has brought them to the point where they began to seperate because of their disagreements. As the conch become less valuable, they began to act less civilized. They began to act less civilized by not listening to one another and not following the rules that was established when the boys first arrived on the island. Golding reveals the importance of the conch and why is it needed. He shows this by showing how the boys become out of hand and dont listen to one another.
He would hurt but then would ignore my pain as a consequence to what he did. He is used to it. He has done it before. I sometimes burst in this feeling of frustration because I cant do anything about it. It has already done its damage.

He was successful in the beginning of the novel with his attempts but could not maintain that same success throughout the whole novel.

I hate the feeling of failure especially when I knew that I had tried my very hardest. My parents always told me try your hardest or don’t try at all, so anytime I lost at something I felt like I was letting them down.

When I am inside of a new environment it takes me time to warm up and allow people to see the true me. My reasoning is because most don’t understand me, and they take my demeanor as cockiness.
If only I had seen this coming, maybe I could have helped you. I could see you weren’t well and that you were suffering with work and not having enough money, but I left it.
