Conch

Lord of the Flies Plan Sheet v2 Thesis Statement: Throughout William Golding?s Lord of the Flies, the boy?s perceptions and descriptions of the conch change to reflect the struggle between Ralph and Jack, or between the traditional values of civilization and savagery. Paragraph #1: Initially the conch is colorful and vibrant. It possesses a commanding aura which not only gets Ralph elected chief, but also holds some sway over the boys. In color the shell was a deep cream, touched here and there with fading pink. P16 Described as a ?glistening thing? P16 Where?s the man with the trumpet? P20 But there was a stillness about Ralph as he sat that marked him out: there was his size?and most obscurely, yet most powerfully, there was the conch. P22-23
