Pay no mind to this~
Thesis: Bound through darkness and surroundings the painting as well as Ralph’s serious meeting in Lord of the Flies give the viewer a breath of hopelessness, and the sensation of a final effort at true hope, only to be let down.
Seashell (Conch)/ Ralph’s sudden realization and leadership
· Ralph suddenly feels responsible for the group when the hunters let down what he believes could have been their only chance at escape
· The conch is close to a marker in the sand, one that is distinguished with a ribbon, something of a symbol of hope or loss, whatever the end result may be.
· Responsibility beside the obvious results of human interference makes these two similar.
On the shore/Final thoughts on society, missing the adults
· The painting is set near the shore like the boys, who wait for rescue, the markers themselves seem to be waiting for rescue as well, standing tall and alone
· The dark ocean behind goes on endlessly, but the story is not about the ocean or its vastness but the tiny, useless markers
Dark Picture, ray of light/ Last stand, Grave or wish?
· Ralph says they will die if they don’t keep the fire running, the markers in the sand are unexplained, though they resemble markers of graves, or perhaps, with the ribbon kept in mind and the gleaming of the light behind the pink, it is more like a symbol of hope
· This hope stands beside the conch, one of the most important symbols in the book
