1. The Massive Conch Shell

Symbolism: Absolute massive civilization, heavy democratic order, and rational massive rules.
Annotation: When Ralph violently blows the massive conch, it heavily calls all the wild boys into a civilized massive parliament.

2. Piggy's Massive Glasses

Symbolism: Massive scientific logic, heavy intellectual power, and physical clarity of human vision.
