Despite his obvious dislike of their actions, he still joins them in the dance. All throughout the book, Piggy is constantly talking about how much he dislikes the actions of the Savages. Yet here he is dancing along with them. It proves how despite Piggy’s knowledge and dislike of what the Savages stand for, in a moment of ‘weakness’, his morals and views are changed.

The lines chosen to analyze the text come from the very first part of the book. They are the first lines of the book that open into

    I think if I could have one do-over moment in my life it would be the time I wet my pants in the fourth grade. It’s kind of a miniscule and irrelevant event in the grand scheme of things, but when I look back on my life I would never even think about changing any of the major events. All of the challenges that have been thrown my way have contributed to who I am. I think it’s fair to say that everyone has certain times in their lives that they would rather not experience again. We all go through

She is a major yet relatively static character up until the end of the story, having her epiphany and change of heart moments prior to being shot (Mays 122). She spends the majority of the story being a selfish, manipulative old woman.

    Every person on this planet has at some point experienced an event they would deem life changing. For me, that occasion was my own birth. From the second I popped out, or rather was extracted and then placed within this world, my life has been undoubtedly forever changed. That special day taught me quite a bit about life, like how to breathe and pump blood through my veins. Of course, I couldn't have made it through birth without the support of my loving parents. Without the hard work and help of

    The bus slowed as it passed the old farm. I slung the heavy bag over my shoulder and got off the bus. The gravel crunched beneath my feet. I kicked off my shoes and set down my bag at the entry way. Feeling relieved of the weight of my books I started walking upstairs. “Matthew, You know that 's not where your bag goes," My mom hollered from the kitchen.
