"The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee; the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist." (Chapter 11, pg. 164)
This quote occurs when Piggy is being beaten and killed with the conch. This was the point in the book I knew would end everything for everyone because that conch was important to everyone and with out it every thing and everyone would go down hill from there. Having that conch shell to me brought everyone together and let everyone know that they were all equal and that they all had a chance to get off the island alive. In this chapter Piggy called a meeting even though there is not that many people left on the island. The four boys talk about the problems on the island and how they should all be blamed on Jack. Ralph immediately stood up for Jack very defensively and attacked Piggy with the conch shell. Striking Piggy with the conch to me was unnecessary because all Piggy wanted to do was help everyone out and he was nothing but kind to everyone no matter how bad they treated him, talked about him and took advantage of him. Killing Piggy to me ruined the books plot because Piggy was someone who I thought could be a leader and would continue to stay a live and because of hate he was killed.
