Best Answer

Ralph initially spots the conch shell in the lagoon but Piggy identifies it and tells Ralph that it can be blown, although he is unable to do it himself because of his Asthma. Piggy instructs Ralph in the correct technique to use to get a sound from the conch shell. You could say that they form a partnership in which Ralph leads by action and original thought but his actions are influenced by Piggy's ideas. Piggy is essentially his technical expert.

Ralph represents the leadership and authority associated with the conch, using it to maintain order and call meetings. Piggy, on the other hand, provides intellectual support by advising Ralph on how to use the conch effectively and reminding him of its importance. Together, they form a balanced partnership that combines physical and intellectual strengths in managing the group.
