In chapter one of “Lord of the Flies,” the conch shell is a major symbol for something. What does the conch shell represent and how so? Use two pieces of evidence from the text to support your answer.

It symbolises Power and Authority.

Explanation:

The representation of power is shown when the boys have to vote for a chief and the majority vote for Ralph because “yet most powerfully, there was the conch” that Ralph was holding.

The representation of authority is shown through the line “We're having a meeting. Come and join in" where Ralph blew the conch and all the boys had to assemble for a meeting.
