the power of finding all needles in hay stacks
In "Lord of the Flies," blowing the conch represents order, authority, and communication. It is used to gather the boys together, call for meetings, and establish a sense of structure and civilization on the island. As the novel progresses and the boys descend into chaos, the conch loses its power and significance.
The annual Conch Cracking Festival is held in Gregory Town on the island of Eleuthera in The Bahamas.
In a dictatorship or autocracy, power is held by one person.
The conch is a tropical marine mollusc, whose shell is much prized as an ornament.
Ralph's dilemma with the conch is that some boys, like Jack and his followers, do not respect its authority or rules. He struggles to maintain order and control within the group, as the conch represents democracy and civilization while its diminishing influence reflects the boys' descent into savagery and chaos.
Complete power held by a single person is called a dictatorship.
the person who held supreme power in a crisis is Augutus he was the (revered one)
Ralph found the conch in the beginning of the story and he blew it to gather all the other kids and he gave the conch a significant place which was whoever had the conch basically had authority and whoever held it had the right to speak!

The conch started out simply as a curiosity that Ralph spotted in the lagoon. Once it was retrieved from the water it became a tool, used to call the other boys to the location. During the first meeting Ralph indicated that the conch had the additional purpose of allowing its holder to speak uninterrupted by anyone else except himself. Because the conch called boys to meetings and was then used during the process of the meeting it became indelibly associated with the whole democratic process, whereby anyboy could speak, if he held the conch. The conch therefore came to symbolise the whole process which it was part of, the democratic ideal of the meetings, civilization, rule, law and order.
