Taking their cue from the innocent Johnny, they sat down on the fallen palm trunks and waited. Ralph continued to blow short, penetrating blasts. Piggy moved among the crowd, asking names and frowning to remember them. The children gave him the same simple obedience that they had given to the men with the megaphones (Golding 17-8).AIM - The first act of the children stranded on the island without adults was to recreate society by providing them with leadership and structure. Ralph calls to the kids and they come as they would for adults they answer their questions and wait for directions. PURPOSE The conch sets Ralph and Piggy apart from the others the shell calls forward. It marks them as leaders. EFFECT - The conch symbolizes the society and order it allows them to recreate what they knew.RubricGenre map = 1 MAJOR GRADEMust be typed in Times New Roman but can be shrunk in sizeWill not be accepted without submitting to turnitin.comJournals = 1 MAJOR GRADEMLA (heading, header, font, margins, size, title,) = 5 pointsEach entry = 4 pointsThematic statement = 10 pointsMLA Citation of novel at end of journals = 5 points
