Taken literally the gift might be the sow's head and guts left as an offering to the beast by Jack. Symbolically the gift is probably Jack himself. By giving credence to the imagined beast and treating it as a primitive god Jack has in effect given himself over to the real beast, the darkness or evil within himself.

∙ 14y agoThe shell and the glasses both act as important metaphors throughout the novel. The shell represents the chance of law and order on the island (as it is used for meetings and it is a rule that whoever is holding it may speak). It is the boys' only symbol of adult order and authority. The glasses are a symbol of voice and reason. They are used to solve problems, like the lighting of the fire, the boys' only chance of rescue.
