One of the symbols
is the conch shell, the conch shell is something that they hold whenever they
want to talk. They must all be quiet and listen to the person talking with the
conch shell. Another thing the conch shell is used for is to cause meetings. Since
Ralph is the leader whenever he wants to have a group discussion he will blow
into the shell and that will let everyone know to get together.
Another symbol is
the glasses, Piggy uses his glasses to see but Jack uses the glasses to set the fire. They would take the lenses
and focus the sun on them to create the fire. The glasses broke because of Jack
so now he only has one lenses left to make the next fire.
The fire symbolizes
hope, because they hope someone will see it so they can be rescued off the
island. Jack is the one who Is in charge
of the fire. When the fire is rising they are hoping that they will be seen and
then get rescued. They were close to getting rescued, but the fire went out
last time.
Remember that the conch symbolizes civilization and the glasses symbolize vision (both physical vision and mental vision).
