1. The conch being inexpertly blown and the fact that Piggy has only one lens shows that society has begun to function poorly. The reason for this decline in society is Jack. Jack broke Piggy’s lens‚ and now Jack who has power‚ represented by the conch‚ does not know how to blow it properly. This tells us that Jack is an inept leader who misuses power and destroys knowledge. To become an expert at something‚ such as blowing a conch or leading a society takes time‚ so this is also significant because
