The Conch represents order and democracy . Because Ralph is leader, he is the one who gets to blow the Conch. If the boys forgo the Conch that means there is no order and democracy.
Piggy's Glasses:
Piggy's glasses represent intellectualism and using reason. The glasses are used in the book to light the signal fire. If these are broken, then the boys do not have a way to get rescued anymore. The glasses are very important in the book, they keep the fire going and are their best hope for being rescued.
The signal Fire:
The signal fire is also important, especially to Ralph . This is used because if a ship or plane passes by it will see the fire. Ralph gets very mad if it's not being lit. Once, in the book Jack said he would keep the fire going and he instead went hunting. Ralph saw a ship pass by and ran up the mountain to see the fire. He noticed that it wasnt lit and Jack was there, holding a pig.
The Beast:
The Beast in the story is called "beastie". The beast represents a humans fear . Some of the kids think they saw it, but it could just be their imagination and fear. In one of the chapters when Jack is hunting, he says he felt like there was something watching him. Maybe the beast or maybe the rest of the hunters or maybe his instincts to kill. Who knows?
