Pig's Predators

-swine is holy and must be sacrificed to the ancestors and eaten on all important occasions (mairriage, funeral, etc)

The classic book Lord of the Flies written by William Golding is a story of a group of schoolboys being stranded on a tropical island during World War II. The three main boys are Jack, Ralph, and Piggy, but there are other boys with them on the island. As the book progresses, our group of protagonists slowly lose their morality and become wild savages. In the story there are three specific pig hunts the group has that canonize their steps to insanity. On the first hunt, three boys come across a piglet caught in the vines. The boys attempt to kill it, but the piglet escapes. During the second hunt, a larger group of boys run into a wild boar, which also escapes. On the third hunt, the groups hunters find a sow feeding her piglets. The boys slaughter the pig and put its head on a pike. Ultimately, the piglet, boar, and sow hunt slowly show the boy's madness progress. This helps to portray Golding’s theme that there is a darkness in every man’s heart.

As children make transitions throughout their life, they can determine what kind of person they want to be. They are given the frame work from their parents or parent figures, but ultimately they have to make choices that will determine who they become. As children grow up their parent figure won’t always be there to tell them the right choice to make or how to act, but they can use what their parents have taught them to think about those choices. The actual choice which is all that matters is up to them to make and even if they make the choice that their parents had taught them to make they still made it and therefor are creating their own identity. The author of “Babe the Gallant Pig” uses a pig and a dog as the child and the parent figures to show the dynamic on how children are responsible for creating their own identity and why they are forced to do it with little help from their parents.

In the book, Lord of the Flies, William Golding wants us to believe that the reason for savagery in most of the characters is because of the lack of civilization. Piggy is the only civilized one left and is trying to keep everyone else civilized. Piggy believes that if adults were on the island with them, than all civilization would be restored “but a sign came down from the world of grown-ups… there was a sudden explosion and a corkscrew trail across the sky” (95). Piggy expresses his hope for a sign from the adults to straighten things up, but the sign was a dead parachuter. Piggy tries to make rules for everyone to follow but no one does because there will not be any consequences for breaking the rules, so “Jack was the first to make himself

From the time we are able to talk until the day that we die, we are constantly being warned about the realities of this world. Sexual offenders are one of those realities that no one really wants to talk about, but being informed can help prevent this disturbing reality from coming true. Sexual Assault is the highly most reported crime in America today. The rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network statistics show that “every 107 seconds, another American is sexually assaulted” (Statistics). If we cannot prevent these heinous acts, the least we can do is speak up for the voiceless and declare that sex offender registries stay in place.

and on page 141, the other animals can’t tell the difference between the pigs and the humans. “Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the face of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was

I just read a story called The Pigman. It was a very well written story. The story was 15 chapters from start to finish. Within this story you have three main characters Lorraine, John, and Mr. Pignati. They go through a good bit throughout this whole story and I am going to summarize things that happened in the story The Pigman written by Paul Zindel in a few chapters at a time.

The Pigman is about John, and Lorraine making, an unlikely friend. It starts off telling how John is a rebel like person, and how Lorraine is a more serious person. John and Lorraine first met on the back of the bus, Lorraine thought that he was laughing at her and asked him to stop, soon after that they became best friends. One night John and Lorraine went over to Dennis’ house and began prank calling and it was Lorraine’s turn and she just so happened to pick Mr. Pignati. Mr. Angelo Pignati was a nice old man who thought that he would just be donating to a charity, but what he did not know was he was going to make good friends.

The beginning of the pigs’ evolution starts with the pig being a food source for the boys and, what helps keep them alive. Jack is head strong about proving himself as a leader so, he makes killing the pig a priority for him. Golding shows the importance of the pig to Jack when he states that “there is food...there is everything”(35) at a meeting; bringing up the pig as a main subject in their discussion. The only idea the boys categorize the pig with at this present time in the novel is for food, which displays the importance of the creature at the beginning. Because the boys are not yet familiar with killing, Jack and his hunters have a difficult time bringing back a kill within the first few tries; almost as if they are already fearing

This clearly expresses how they didn’t care about the pig at all. The perception of kids being nice, kind, and cute is changed to kids being violent and destructive because of

Let’s get the obvious out of the way the alien would have only killed one person if he would have followed quorenee.

A widow and mother loses her job consequently she slowly loses her car, house, kids, and mind. While down the street a single mother loses her job but doesn't lose her car, kids, or mind as a result of her facing the hardship head on and making the best of it. Hardships can strengthen a person by ingraining a “push through” attitude.

The game our group created was called the Pig Extravaganza. This game is based off the virtual game, Angry Birds. The goal of the game is to get as many points as possible throwing the balls at the pigs’ noses. The balls are supposed to be the angry birds in this game. This was tricky, but very entertaining. The board we created showed some of the different pigs in the game. The sizes of the nose (of the pig) represented the difficulty of each pig. The most difficult pig was the chef pig; the next difficult pig was the king pig. Following the king was the medium pig, the joker pig. The last pig, the easiest, was the queen pig. I learned that some of the carnival carnies will rob you when playing their games. They will take your money, even

A pig is any of the creatures in the variety Sus, inside of the Suidae group of even-toed ungulates. Pigs incorporate the household pig and its predecessor, the normal Eurasian wild hog, alongside different species; related animals outside the variety incorporate the peccary, the babirusa, and the warthog. Pigs, similar to all suids, are local to the Eurasian and African landmasses. Adolescent pigs are known as piglets. Pigs are omnivores and are exceedingly social and insightful creatures.

On a beautiful Saturday morning on a Kansas farm,which smelled strongly of manure and hay there was a massive commotion.What was the cause of the commotion you may ask, it was feeding time, the day where all the farm animals got fed corn and vegetables and occasionally decent people food such as pudding and Peter the pig’s favorite bread.Peter was a pig, he was a very bright pig too,all the farm animals thought pigs were greedy,foul smelling and easily manipulated,but of course it was not true.Even though pigs are not as horrendous as the farm animals suspect,the farm animals still think pigs are inferior,for the fact that long ago pigs were the most unfavorable farm animal they did horrendous things, for example, stealing, going to the bathroom on the floor not in buckets and being inconsiderate to the other animals needs and feelings.Due to their misjudgment of pigs thinking they have not changed, pigs are oppressed by the other farm animals due to the farm animal’s false sense of superiority.
