The conch shell really represents control and a governing
hand. However, it also represents justice because whoever holds the conch is to have
the right to speak. So this "justice" only lasts a few chapters. After growing tired
of all of the rules, Jack and his group don't care about following the conch any more.
They speak when they want to--and feel that only those who SHOULD speak will speak. So
at this point, justice is gone. There is no equality and only a handful of boys are
following the rules.
