The Power of Words Words are like snow. Individual snowflakes don’t amount to much by themselves. But when snow combines in large amounts, it can be beautiful, annoying, or destructive. Likewise, words don’t affect anyone very much when they are said or heard without being backed up by others in great amounts with great force. Words are some of the most powerful elements known and invented by the human race. Most world leaders, dignitaries, and managers of companies or movements never obtained…

Gaining power may seem effortless to certain people if they know how to effectively use the skill of…

As much as Ralan hated Karch, he didn’t want to see anyone die, so he pushed his horse to the edge of its speed and endurance. He wasn’t sure how he could stop Karch, but if he could just warn him, it would be something. As he sped down the road, Ralan again marveled at how smooth and well-maintained it was. It was paved in large flat stones and was wide enough for two wagons to pass each other without having to enter the dirt. He couldn’t imagine the labor it took to create it, as it extended…

lawlessness and disorganization that everyone but Ralph respects by the end of the novel. Both objects are used by the boys as a way to control their groups, but ultimately the sow’s head wields more power over the boys; the boys are entranced and infatuated by the power of the sow’s head. The power of the conch, a symbol of order that most of the boys only briefly and half-heartedly respect, cannot compare to the sow’s head, a symbol of evil,…

In all professional settings there is the conflict of power. Holding and giving power in any situation is a tough balancing act when it comes to the workplace. Due to the fact that it is a job and people will do anything and everything to keep a steady income, power distribution can lead to many types of conflict.

In the beginning of The Lord of the Flies, William Golding depicts the conch as symbolism for order and civilization; however, as time goes on, the shell loses the power it once had over the boys and eventually has no meaning whatsoever. The conch shell holds power over the boys on the island almost immediately after its discovery.
