This relates to the bigger story because this is how everyone got together and finally became a group or civilization. It is the beginning of their new adventure. They started out all separated and scattered around but when Piggy suggested to Ralph to use a shell (conch) to call the other boys that's when it all started with the groups of the littluns and bigguns. The conch symbolizes the law and order of the adult world which Piggy is trying to keep in the boys minds. It is also authority.
Ralph: "There’s another thing. We can help them to find us. If a ship comes near the island they may not notice us. So we must make smoke on top of the mountain. We must make a fire."
This was the start of hoping to be rescued. When Ralph said that the other boys agreed and hurried off to get it ready. When they made the fire they had high hopes of being rescued and not staying on the island for long. The fire symbolizes the last hope of the guys being rescued. To Piggy and Ralph the fire is the moral influence of their life in England.
