Ultimately the conch shell represents all civilization and order on the island, It was found when Piggy and Ralph first arrived on the island and it was used to call assemblies. The conch was also used to assert power during these assemblies, whoever held the conch was the only one allowed to speak, share their thoughts and opinions. Because Ralph was elected to be chief on the island the conch was often in his hands and he was the only one who could use it to call assemblies.
