He can catch his own pigs. Anyone who wants to hunt when I do can come too.” Being angered because Jack’s tribe stole Piggy’s spectacles and because no one was listening, Piggy goes off to Jack’s side of the island with Ralph and the twins to show who’s boss around here and to retrieve his glasses. Once arriving there, Jack and Ralph have a mini battle. As this goes on, Roger tries to interfere, and ends up killing Piggy with an extremely large boulder. Piggy’s death signifies that all intelligence on the island has ended.
Along with bribing people, he used violence and the fear of the beast to control the group. "I painted my face - I stole up. Now you eat - all of you- and I -" (Golding ) The conch was a powerful symbol from the beginning. It was the first thing to gather all the boys together to a group. The conch also gave each individual boy the power to talk while holding on to it.
Then Ralph said the words that ‘struck them into silence’ “There was a ship.” When it had finally sunk in (no pun intended) that although they finally had food, they let the chance of rescue slip though their fingers. Another point in which Ralph shows good initiative is on the second page where Jack attempted to give an excuse about how they needed the food, Ralph turned and said, “You could’ve had everyone when the shelters were ready”. By saying this, Ralph made it clear to Jack and the other boys that they had no excuse for what happened. Ralph stood his ground when he would have normally just let Piggy take the conch then take the abuse afterwards. Similarly, Golding used characterisation to develop the reader’s perception and opinion of Jack.
His crew had abandoned him on the island and let him die to the Indians. Now would he have been worth defending, I would have defended him because he was a noble captain, had firm discipline but was not cruel, and he died fighting till his last breath for his beliefs. Although he lost sight of his mission and by doing so, put his whole crew in danger.
Robert and Roger talk about Jack going to beat up one of their tribe members, “‘He got angry and made us tie Wilfred up.’”(159). They find this cruel act funny and exciting. Their humaneness is disappearing and they are taking pleasures in the most twisted things. Moreover, the disappearance of their humaneness leads them to killing people. Piggy went to talk to them in a civilized manner but they ended up killing him.

In the novel, Lord of the Flies, a group of boys are stranded on an island. There are no adults to watch over them, so they have to create rules and distribute roles. One rule that the group has decided on is that whenever they blow the conch, a meeting is being called and whoever is holding the conch is the speaker and no one else should be speaking. Ralph is the leader of the group, he assigns roles and watches over the whole group.
The sow’s head and the conch shell do wield their own certain type of power over the boys , but their powers are two different types of power. The conch shell is the first of the two symbols to be introduced to the reader. The conch shell represents various civilized circumstances such as order, reason, civilization, law, and just the overall principle of good. That is why the author of this novel makes ralph and piggy find the conch. Ralph and Piggy both represent the greater good inside of people and humanity.
A typical conversation goes as follows. Master Drill: Everyone get out their sheet music and report to
Working as part of a group was not as easy as I had expected it to be. The first meeting was organised as a brainstorming session so that everyone in the group was able to discuss any questions that they had. We also discussed various methods of analysis which could be used. It was decided that the entire group would sign up to the Dropbox website and we all exchanged numbers and email addresses with each other also. This was done so that the whole group could keep in contact with each other at all times.
Which shows that Tuckman’s theory even in forced conversations still occur which shows that we must have learnt from the previous meeting how a conversation is to be held. Forming has already taken place previous to this conversation as all the staff and attendees know each other. Storming was involved because after reminding and discussing the rules of ‘The Warren’ people were able to build confidence and express their own ideas.
