In this passage the conch is the main symbol. It stand for both order and how people can be told what to do for only a short amount of time before everything erupts into chaos. In the passage Golding writes "Hear him! He's got the conch!" Showing that they obey what the conch stands for but also in the same passage he writes "Shut up, you fat slug!" to Piggy because Jack is not pleased with Piggy's ideas and plans.
The theme of this passage was order and the way all humans will want all the power and abuse it if given the chance too.
