They are afraid because they think there is a beast out to get them on the island.
Who are the two littluns who hold the conch and speak about the beast at the assembly in the Lord of the Flies?
There are actually three littluns who mention the beast during assemblies. The littlun with the mulberry coloured birthmark on his face spoke at the second assembly. Piggy had to kneel next to him and relay what he was saying to the rest of the boys. He mentioned seeing a snake-thing and asked what they were going to do about it and whether it would return the next night. In chapter 5:Beast from Water two littluns also spoke about the beast. Phil spoke confidently of seeing something big and horrid in the trees. The littlun Percival cried and his words were relayed to the other boys by Piggy and by Jack. He told the boys that the beast came out of the sea.

In Lord of the Flies what rule does Ralph lay down at the first assembly?
Ralph lays down the rule that only the person holding the conch shell has the right to speak during the assembly. This rule ensures order and fairness in discussions among the boys on the island.
What rules does Ralph introduce to the assembly in chapter two of Lord of the Flies?
Ralph introduces the rule that whoever holds the conch shell during assembly has the right to speak. He also emphasizes the importance of order and organization in the group, and encourages discussion and collaboration to address their common problems. Overall, Ralph's rules aim to maintain civility, respect, and communication among the boys on the island.
What does the conch symbolise?
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.
What did Ralph find how was it used?
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!
When do the boys get to speak out - Lord of the Flies?
The boys are able to speak out only when they have the conch in their hands. The conch was found by Piggy and Ralph in the beginning of the book in a tidal pool. The conch represents democracy and order in the Lord of the Flies. The conch is destroyed when Piggy is killed. This is symbolized the madness of society when the conch breaks.
In Lord of the Flies how does the conch become a symbol of authority?
When Ralph is voted as leader the reasons he is picked are "his size, and attractive appearance; and most obscurely, yet most powerfully, there was the conch." (22) its a symbol of authority because in the beginning it is agreed that when somone has the conch in their possesion they have the right to speak and because Ralph blew the conch and found it he is also seen as an authoritative figure making the conch athoritative ;)
