text: the lord of the flies? i just have two questions about chapter one of the lord of the flies. easy 10 points for the fastest, and most accurate answer.  first, why is the chapter's title significant?  and two, how is piggy indirectly responsible for the blowing of the conch? well, the lord of the flies, later on in the book, is in a way, in a metaphor, showing the "meaning of the book", it shows the message the book is giving in the scene later on.  i'm not sure what that message is though lol.  (i think that pretty much it's an anology of some war, w/ government etc.)  secondly, wasn't it piggy who found the conch?
