Lord Of The Flies Piggy Book Report

All i see is a bunch of savages of you all. First Jack and you bet poor Simon to death, tearing him apart. Then now a friend of mine who you all may not have respected, one who was smart, and cared about us, Piggy! Jack isn't here to get off the island he is here to play, he has not done anything for you all, just pushes you around and hunts all day.

Simon has a heightened perception, even more so than Piggy. Simon is unique because he can actually hear the voice of the beast. He realizes that the beast is not something one can kill because it 's inside the boys. Simon is seen as a Christ figure. He gives up his own life in an attempt to tell the rest of the boys about the beast. Jack wants to take control over the whole society. Jack is the leading support of anarchy on the island. Jack is the leader of the savage tribe which hunts the pigs. Opposed to Ralph and Piggy on almost all matters, Jack represents the identification of one 's personality— he supports the notion that one 's desires are most important and should be followed, regardless of reason or morals. Jack is the kind of person that is believed everyone would eventually become if left alone to set one 's own standards and live the way one naturally wanted. In this novel it is believed that the natural state of humans is disordered and that man is inherently evil. When reason is abandoned, only the strong survive. Jack personifies this idea perfectly.

"Piggy saw the smile and misinterpreted it as friendliness. There had grown up tacitly among the biguns the opinion that Piggy was an outsider, not only by accent, which did not matter, but by fat, and ass-mar, and specs, and a certain disinclination for manual labour." (Golding 68)

Jack and his chosen group of hunters all follow Jack and fail to follow Ralph’s command to keep civilization under control. Simon and his natural behaviors contrast with Jack as he sees the positive interests and goodness in civilization. Simon’s actions reveal his shy, yet kind, and non confrontational attitude which makes the importance of his character hard to notice. Simon is the mediator on the island, as he will never decline a request from the little children for food, an order from Ralph to help build shelters, and tries to keep the peace between the hunters and the civilized boys. Simon can be seen as the most compassionate character on the island as displayed in this quote: “Simon sitting between the twins and Piggy, wiped his mouth and shoved his piece of meat over the rocks to Piggy, who grabbed it. The twins giggled and Simon lowered his face in shame” (Golding 74). Jack, on the other hand, is most malicious towards Piggy as he eventually becomes consumed by evil and and will attempt to destroy all points of civilization and innocence left on the island. Innocence is bestowed upon nearly all the boys trying to keep civilization alive on the island and is despised by Jack and his highly influenced choir boys turned hunters.

     Piggy in the beginning of the book was using his common sense, he was intelligent, he knew what was right from wrong, and he could condone things that made him angry easily. In the beginning of the book, (pg. ) Ralph told everyone his name was Piggy even though Piggy specifically told Ralph that he didn't like to be called that name Piggy later condoned Ralph's action with great ease. Piggy's action's and behavior depended on his glasses. Piggy and his glasses symbolized intelligence, he represents the rational side of civilization. With the glasses it seemed as though Piggy made all the right choices, and he helped Ralph know what needed to be done with the tribe. Without his

Dear Diary, I’ve had to leave my parents because of the war. On the way to safety our plane was shot down. We have landed on an island and have a small group of boys stranded here. Oh how rude of me?! I’m Noah just in case any nutter would find this out here in the middle of nowhere. In case you’d need a description of me I am about 4’8, have brown hair, green eyes, and weigh 93 lbs. When the plane was shot down I went unconscious, after a while I woke to the sound of a high pitched noise. That I later figured out was the conch that Ralph and Piggy have found. After our first meeting we explored some of the island, but I wasn’t allowed to go cause I’m just a littlun even though I’m 8 and a half years old! The older boys went out and caught a pig for us. Jack is the leader of the hunters I like him a lot. He is very deft. I think Ralph is batty to be our leader, but that’s just me. The plane that crashed on the island is known as the scar of the island, because before anyone had been here it had no damage done to it. We have taken a unwanted jeopardy by being stuck here. This is all I have to say for now. I just hope I’ll get back to mum and dad soon…

us how Piggy is sectioned from the est of the group due to his social

This is my 739th day on the island. My hair is past my neck and I have almost lost all hope of ever leaving here. I miss my family and am loosing my emotions. All that matters is surviving. If we do ever get rescued which I doubt, I know I will never be anything like the boy I used to be. My only freedom here is talking to Piggy. Even if I didn’t know him before the crash, I know I have made a brother I would be the biggest train wreck ever if I lost him. About 20 days ago Jack left the group and everyday there are less and less boys. But I’ll always have Piggy. I’m glad Jack isn’t doing anything bad. Day 740. We are doing a pretty good job of keeping it civil. Jack invited us to a barbecue today. . . it would be nice to eat meat

Have you ever met someone like Jack? An aggressive, obsessive, intimidating, egotistical boy that wants to be better than everyone he possibly can be. He's all about violence and torture. Many are scared of him because of how he is. Piggy states "I'm scared of him, and that's why I know him. If you're scared of someone you hate him but you can't stop thinking about him. You kid yourself he's all right really, an' then when you see him again; it's like asthma an' you can't breathe." It's like Jack can't focus on anything else once he's committed to something. Jack thrives off the kill. On the island he won't stop until he gets the pig and becomes obsessed with hunting.

Uypeng Keo Mr. Wolf Honors English 10 29 October 2014 Chapter 2 Analysis The author’s purpose is to convey the theme of the true characteristics of human nature through portraying an accident when each person unleashes their true hidden nature or in other words the use of an allegory. In that Ralph represents strength, power, civilization, and leadership. While Jack represents selfishness and greed, Piggy represents intellect as well as the more advanced stage of civilization. Even though Piggy proposes logical plans for the entire the group for example lighting the signal flare, not a person responded.

I think that Piggy would be the best leader. I think it should be him because he is smart. The story tells us he is smart because of how he acts around the others trying to get them to not do stupid things like when they made a giant bonfire. He can help get them to survive. How he could get them to survive is by telling them things such as, what might be safe to eat and what isn’t. I think ralph isn’t a good leader since he isn't as intelligent. Ralph would be better helping instead of leading also because he would be more able to lift and do things that Piggy tells him to do. I don’t think jack should be leader because it shows that he is aggressive. If the leader is aggressive then it could mean trouble for the people he is leading when

Over the last short four chapters, all of the characters have adapted and changed in different ways to accommodate life within the island. To start, Ralph has changed since chapter 1 in the aspect of his leadership qualities. In the first chapter, he was elected as a leader, however, did not take as much action as he should have right away. over these chapters, he has stepped up and shown that he can lead this society. On the other hand, Ralph has still remained very firm on focusing to get things done, rather than abandoning it to hunt or play.

They continue with their savage ways of hunting and looking for a beast, rather than worrying about other responsibilities. Ralph tries to reason with Jack about many topics such as the signal fire being their only chance of rescue (Golding 176). Ralph knows that if they want someone to rescue them, keeping a signal fire lit at all times is their best shot. Jack seemingly does not care about this at all. He and his group abandon the fire and go hunting for pigs (Golding #). This is quite alarming as he has already lost sight of getting off the island. Roger kills Piggy with a boulder that simultaneously destroys the conch, leaving Ralph as the only representation of civilization in any form (Golding 180-181). Ralph is one of the few alive that cares and understands that civilization and order are important. He strives to save the group, but he cannot save the group unless they help themselves. Instead of being productive and unable to get their priorities straight, the remaining boys are more worried about killing Ralph than getting off the

Why did Piggy, the least liked of all of the characters, have such a large significance in the Lord of the Flies? The novel The Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, was written during the Cold War but the novel itself takes place in the earliest stages of World War II. World War II, the time that the book takes place, was a war when Germany, Japan, and Italy joined forces to take over the world as the Nazis. Piggy, a overweight 12-year-old, with a large amount of knowledge and intelligence, playing the role of the character taken for granted. By far, Piggy was the best candidate for chief of the island but, they went for looks instead, they intentionally ignore his advice, and laugh at Piggy leaving him angrier than before.

We are stranded on an island, or at least I am pretty sure it is an island. Ralph was the first person I found after awakening on the beach. We found a conch shell and used it to summon all the other boys from the plane. The boys and I voted for Ralph to be our chief. We chose Jack Merridew and his choir to be the hunters. I am very upset with Ralph, he told all the boys that my name was Piggy, even after I told him not to. I am sure I’ll forgive him soon because for my whole life I have been the subject of jokes, and I have learned to live with it. I already do not like Jack Merridew, and I know he does not like me. I am glad Ralph is chief and not Jack. Ralph, Simon, and Jack went to explore the island without me. My job was to
