In Lord of the Flies, the conch shell is the first discovery, and it brings the scattered boys together, beginning as a mystical symbol of leadership and order. Ralph uses it to assemble the boys after they are stranded on the island, and as a result, he is elected chief.
The conch shell is a symbol of civilization and authority. When Ralph blows it and the boys hear they all gather together for meetings. Then they get a chance to talk if they are holding it. ”I’ll give the conch to the next person to speak. He can hold it when he’s speaking.” But when Piggy gets knocked off the cliff by the boulder, he's holding the conch.
