Could you please help me with my research paper?

I'm writing a research paper on William Golding's Lord of the Flies and I wanted some opinions on my conclusion. My topic is the significance of the conch in the novel from it's uses a as a symbol of order and a symbol of power and as its representation of the end of civilization. This is part of my conclusion: "Their situation is much like that of any society. Most people posses their own “conch” which has its own various representations to that individual. Just as the conch is destroyed, personal conchs can also be destroyed and when they are people become psychological savages."


Please tell me what you think about it and if I should change this part or leave it. Thanks.

for an example You could say that the conch represents order on the island. At first it is used to call all the people together. Then at the end when the conch is crushed by the boulder, it represents the destruction of order on the island.





what you have so far is good too.
Reply:I always thought that the conch was more a symbol of mankind's need for order. With the conch, the boys had found a way to organize themselves. Without the meetings that the blowing of the conch preceded, there was utter chaos on the island, as each boy was off doing whatever he wanted.





The breaking of the conch was Golding's symbolic way of showing that all sense of order had broken down. In a sense, the boys were no longer English but brute savages.





I disagree that everyone "carries their own conch." I think things like the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the court system are our conches.
