SEABEE Insignia In the midst of World War II, a construction battalion was created to support the Navy and Marines. This battalion was created to build in certain location of the war zone. By March 5, 1942 the construction battalion was official named the "SEABEE" by the Navy Department. The SEABEE were experienced plumbers, electricians, machine operators trained to fight at any moment. (Frank J. Lafrate), an artist from Rhode Island created a logo named "the Fighting SEABEE". The picture of the Fighting SEABEE is a cartoonish bee in the Navy uniform. The first thing is a enlarge picture of a bee, which is a small insect but with a large number of bees can do major damage.

There is a weapon that he is holding in front of him. But the bee is also a trained fighter using his weapon to fight or defend them. This means that the bee is ready to fight at a moment’s notices. I think that Frank (creator) want to show that the Seabee defending himself is most important at the time of World War II. Also, show to the enemies that beware of that the SEABEE was going to protect themselves, if attacked. On the side of the SEABEE arms, are the ranks of the Navy Petty Officers. The more work that SEABEE is put in the higher the SEABEE rank is. The hands are full with tools like pipe ranch, and hammer. It shows the SEABEE can still do his job or they came to do a job regardless if they have to or not. Frank would to subtext the SEABEE motto "WE BUILD WE FIGHT".
Another thing, to do is take a step back and look. The angle of the SEABEE is tilt down to like going flying toward something. Frank made it seem like the SEABEE was swarming around ready to work or fight. Also, making the SEABEE coming to help another SEABEE. Furthermore, the context “CAN DO!” is invisible seals or approval stamp saying that the SEABEE can do anything and nothing is going to stop him. The “CAN DO!” is a war crying, if an order is giving out by the Navy Chiefs and Officers. Finally, I can relate to Frank J. Lafrate “The Fighting SEABEE”. The SEABEE and I have to be a worker and fight at any time. Also, be ready to protect and serve the people we

Looking back on it now, I want to say the bees were sent to me.” From my point of view, this quote fits the novel well because of its contribution to the developing plot line. As the book opened, the author already added suspense. The quote is important to not only the plot line, but the overall novel.

    Each of these epigraphs show how Lily's life compares to that of a worker bee, as well as displaying her struggle to find a new life. As she journeyed to find herself and information about her mother, she developed into a different character, one who started with no mother figure, not knowing how to cope with her abusive, misunderstanding father, and ended with many of her inner battles settled and a multitude of mother figures to look up to and love. Kidd’s use of epigraphs aided the development of Lily’s character, comparing her life to the life of a worker bee, as Lily journeyed to find another queen bee, or someone to look up to, as well as dealing with immense emotional stress throughout the process. The epigraphs really took the storytelling to another level as it gave the reader something to think about, as well as a bit more insight into the challenges Lily went through.

These symbolic things include Piggy’s glasses, Simon’s epilepsy, the Lord of the Flies, and arguably the most important symbol, the conch shell. The conch shell was first found in the water by Piggy, who then comes up with the idea of using the conch as a blow horn to call for meetings. Throughout Lord of the Flies, the conch shell becomes not only associated with Ralph and his leadership, but with Piggy and his intuitive and wise ideas and Jack and his dictator-like, irresponsible authority. The conch shell, representing law and order, assisted in the election of Ralph as chief and ultimately determines the future of the island.
