Answers
Explanation:
Ralph declares that, at meetings, the conch shell will be used to determine which boy has the right to speak. Whoever holds the conch shell will speak, and the others will listen silently until they receive the shell in their turn.
Answer-
Ralph and Piggy look around the beach, wandering around wondering what has happened to the rest of the boys. Piggy sees a large pink and cream colored conch shell and thinks that it would make a good trumpet.
The conch shell is one of the most important symbols in the book, it represents law and order. It is Piggy who comes up with the idea to use the conch shell to summon the boys together for a meeting.
At the meeting, Ralph takes the idea one step further, saying that since there were no adults on the island, they would have to look after themselves.
In Chapter Two, as the boys assemble for a meeting, Ralph says:
"We can't have everybody talking at once. We'll have to have 'Hands up' like at school." (Golding)
The conch becomes a symbol for authority among the boys.
