"You let me carry the conch, Ralph. I'll show him the one thing he hasn't got," says Piggy. Explain the irony in these words. The irony in these words is that the one thing Piggy values almost as much as his glasses, the conch, is the one thing Jack actually has no interest in. What Piggy doesn't realise though, is that Piggy is not only showing him the conch as something he doesn't have, but by showing up to Jack's camp, he shows something else Jack doesn't have. Intelligence, and revenge on Piggy more having something he does not. I agree, and I think that Piggy bringing the conch also shows that he still has civilization left, while Jack only has savagery. |

"You let me carry the conch, Ralph. I'll show him the one thing he hasn't got," says Piggy. Explain the irony in these words. This displays the symbols. Piggy feels the conch, like the glasses, is one of the things the leader needs. The irony in this that Piggy sees the conch as the one thing as important as his glasses, but Jack doesn't care about it at all. Piggy is also showing that this tool, the conch, makes he braver, maybe showing that with this he feels the confidence to stand up to Jack. |

The irony in these words is that Piggy believes that Jack still desires carrying the conch and having it's 'power', but really Jack has no desire for the conch and is only interested in savagery.

"You let me carry the conch, Ralph. I'll show him the one thing he hasn't got," says Piggy. Explain the irony in these words. i think it is ironic in the way that Jack, although he doesn't have the conch, he already has what it gives to the person who holds it. He has become the leader and already has the conch in a the sense that he has the right to speak whenever he wants and that he doesn't care about the conch. |
