Lord Of The Flies Holds The Conch Symbol

from great ones is an author s ability to use
concrete objects and have them represent abstract
ideas. This is called symbolism, and Lord of the

symbols throughout the book that stand for
intangible ideas, feelings, and conceptual
governmental systems. One of the most important
objects in the entire work is the conch. Ralph

through out the book by temptation. When on this
