One of the many symbols in Lord of the Flies is the boy's uniforms. As the boys are on the island, and time continues to pass, they are each losing bits and pieces of their school uniforms. This symbolizes how they are breaking away from the uniformity of the school and becoming their own people on the island. In the beginning they all had the same clothes and relatively no disagreements. The boys uniforms are changing and becoming more individualized as their opinions begin to differ from each other also. The uniforms symbolize how each person is becoming themselves and creating their own ideas instead of all being the same and thinking the same things.

I think that the most significant thing that i took away from this weeks EdCafe was that there are so many different viewpoints of how the book is and should be. Many people had similar ideas as me of what was happening and what was going to happen, but there were also many people that gave me a look into their minds and see the book so far in a different way. Something that I discussed that i think anyone that reads this book should discuss about is about Piggy being leader. I think that Piggy being a leader has to be thought when discussing this book because so many people have very different opinions on whether he would be a good leader or not because although he is very intelligent, nobody takes him serious enough.
