the Conch is destroyed along with Piggy Page 181 " The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee; the conch exploding into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist." Piggy is holding it up for order, and then Rodger leans all his weight onto the lever, than causes a bolder to fall; killing Piggy, the symbol for the adult world, and destroying the conch, the symbol for civilization.

Lord of the files what happens to the conch and to piggy?

Roger toppled a boulder from the top of castle rock in a moment of 'delerious abandonment' and to quote directly from the book... ' The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee; the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist. Piggy, saying nothing, with no time for even a grunt, travelled through the air sideways from the rock, turning over as he went. The rock bounced twice and was lost in the forest. Piggy fell forty feet and landed on his back across that square, red rock in the sea. Piggy's arms and legs twitched a bit, like a pig's after it has been killed. The sea breathed again in a long low sigh, the water boiled white and pink over the rock; and when it went, sucking back again, the body of Piggy was gone'
