You have a few questions here. This is only a short answer forum but I can make a general comment.

The conch's destruction represents the death of civilization and democracy. It is fittingly destroyed when Piggy was killed. Piggy revered the conch for what it symbolized. It represented the old world: the world of adults. Although most of the boys lost respect for the conch a long time ago, Piggy believed in it until the end.

Please submit your other questions one a t a time.
