Answer 8

Piggy realizes from the beginning on how valuable the conch is, piggy's IDEAS are valuable as well for survival on this island but the boys don't respect the value of the conch and piggy's IDEAS. So at Castle Rock when he has the conch cus he wants to speak and the conch breaks and he dies, in a way it's sort of saying the conch was valuable and piggy's IDEAS were too but the boys didn't respect either of them.
