Summary Of ' The Pig Who Learned On Read '

Without cloudy days the sun wouldn’t be appreciated as much. In Lord of The Flies, the character Piggy acts as a foil to Ralph, the main character, to accentuate how great a leader he is. This is shown through their appearances, how they interact with each other, and the state they are in by the end of the novel. The relationship the two share illuminates the the meaning the book’s meaning that / a person has to be the best to survive in society or lack thereof. / a person can’t have to many flaws otherwise You need to stay civilized to survive. Only the best of the best can survive in society.

"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)

Many times in a story what the main characters say can reflect their personality and lifestyle. This is shown effectively in the memorial epic by Paul Zindel, The Pigman. Throughout this stunningly truthful story, John and Lorraine consistently say things that show just what type of people they are.

     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.

The pigman is a story about two teens and an old man who all end up with each other at some point. The story starts up with an oath that two characters make named John Conlan and Lorraine Jensen sign that they will right the facts about their experience with someone called Mr. Angelo Pignati. Then that leads into a introduction where John tells us some backstory and how he had an avocation for pranking in his younger years. After that it tells us how Lorraine feels bad for some people and how her mother was antagonistic and always bullied her on every little thing possible. The background continues by Lorraine telling us how she met John and how she had anxiety about moving and making friends.

Jimmy was raised in a broken and unstable household where he developed feelings of guilt, repression and anxiety. These feelings he felt were deeply engraved into his memory and he was unable to escape them as they haunted him in his adulthood. It is made evident that his parents’ marriage is weak and falling apart because of their constant arguing. When Jimmy was a child, he decided to light a strand of his hair on fire. His father had blamed this incident on his mother because “the cigarette lighter wouldn’t have been there if his mother didn’t smoke” (Atwood 16). Jimmy’s mother fought back by saying “all children are arsonists at heart,

Some things that we talked about concerning the relationship between teenagers and older people that I didn’t know is how similar some older people are to younger people. In most of the stories and movies that we read/watched, the older people were as playful and energetic as their younger companions. For example, the Pigman was running around and roller skating with John and Lorraine. I have always thought of older people as being tired and cranky most of the time. Another thing that I had not realized is how much younger people look up to older people. I knew that older people had some effect on younger people’s lives, but I did not realize how much of an impact it really was. An example of this is in Where Pigeons Go to Die. Hugh grows up to be almost exactly like his grandfather was. He lives in the same house and flies pigeons with his grandson, just like Dodd did with him.

I agree with Wilde that miscue analysis is the best single tool teachers can use to understand readers and support their further learning because instead of focusing on what the students got wrong and the number or errors they made the teacher focus on what the child did right. This can help teachers plan what students read next in group settings or individually. Miscue analysis reveals students reading abilities and then gives the teacher the ability to focus on their weaknesses and strengths which can help teachers find strategies for each student to use.
