Throughout the story John’s thoughts and words really bring him to life. While he is in a cemetery drinking and smoking, John says “I’m looking for anything to prove that when I drop dead there’s a chance I’ll be doing something a little more exciting than decaying.” This shows John’s curiosity about the future. John seems like the kind of person that is always eager to learn new things. At the very end of the story John says “They build their own cages, we could almost hear the Pigman whisper, as he took his children with him.” What John means is that many people in general build their own “cage” and they only let certain people in.

In the last part of the quote John is describing how when Mr. Pignati died he took John and Lorraine’s childhood with him. When the three of them were together they acted like children. Mr. Pignati was like the father they never had and when he died a part of them died as well.

Our families hiked up to the top of Nevada Falls and there we sat down to picnic, near this beautiful Falls. We broke out our box lunches, opened our soda's. A few minutes into enjoying our food, I looked up about ten feet behind the group and above the rest of the party. Here comes a Mother black bear over the rise with her baby cub. Seeing this instant trouble, I told every one to drop their food and back away. The Mother herself looked only to be not more than five or six years old. And to quote my girls the cub was "adorable." We all backed away and watched the mother sort through our lunch, and decide

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

Piggy along with the other British schoolboys are stranded on an uninhabited, Pacific island without an adult and are forced to survive on their own. Piggy steps up to the plate to make any moral or civil choices while other boys choose to go crazy or savaged.

Pigs' Role in Animal Farm by George Orwell At the start of the novel Orwell describes the pigs to be the "cleverest of the animals.

Pigs are unable to move in their cages. The baby pig ears, tails are cut off and their teeth are chopped off to prevent them from harming other pigs. They are castrated without any pain killer. The baby pigs are given antibiotics to promote rapid growth. Their body grows, so fast, the legs become crippled. Many pigs are ill, but are kept alive to be shipped off to slaughter to get a profit. The pigs that did not make it to slaughter are shot with a gun to prevent them from eating the farmer’s feed. Pigs are abused by beating them with a gate rod to be moved from one place to another.
