We get to know more about Littluns. What are the correct reason for why they obey the conch. (LORD OF THE FLIES)

1 answer

1. Fear of the unknown: The littluns are scared and intimidated by the chaotic and unfamiliar environment of the island. The conch represents order and authority, providing them with a sense of security and structure.

2. Desire for leadership: The littluns look up to the older boys, particularly Ralph and Piggy, who are seen as the natural leaders due to their possession of the conch. The littluns obey the conch as a way of following the instructions and guidance of these older boys.

3. Social conditioning: The littluns have been raised in a society where rules and authority figures are respected and obeyed. The conch serves as a symbol of authority and tradition, leading the littluns to instinctively obey it without questioning.

4. Survival instinct: The littluns are vulnerable and dependent on the older boys for protection and guidance. By obeying the conch, they align themselves with the group and increase their chances of survival in the harsh and unpredictable environment of the island.
