    Jack screams at Ralph that he will get exactly what Piggy did. He sees the destruction of the conch along with Piggy as a sign that he's the real chief now. Jack feels no remorse, and Piggy's death signifies the loss of civilization for Jack and his group. Order is gone, and Ralph must now run for his life.
