The importance of Chapter 1's title is that the sound of the conch shell brings all the boys to the same spot
Because in the end of the chapter, Jack's tribe attacks Ralphs tribe. Piggy thought they were after the conch (The Shell) but instead, they stole Piggy's glasses for fire usage (The Glasses)
In chapter 1, they find a conch shell and piggy relizes that the conch could be used as a horn to call all the other boys on the island. With that, they blow into the conch and many boys come to the beach.
the conch represents civilization and power.whenever the conch sounds the boys immediately runs toward it and respect whomever has it. eventually, power and civilization drops as the boys become less structured and more savage and therefore the conch loses it's power. the glasses symbolize a key to life and existence. the fire is used to start a fire and the fire bring heat to help them survive and hope of rescue. when they are stolen by jack, Ralph and piggy have nothing left to help them and therefore Jack retains yet more power.
