    Blowing The Conch makes the atmosphere of the story orderly and powerful. The Conch was powerful because whenever Ralph would blow it, the boys would listen up and become silent. Later in the story, Ralph mentions how if he blows the conch and nothing happens then all hope is lost. The conch is Ralph's hope for an orderly community on the island. It foreshadows ciaos, panic, and lack of order since the conch slowly looses it's power over the boys. The boys at first listened and settled down when the conch was blown, but as it started to loose it's power, the boys became more and more wild.
