How much in common do you think Lorraine Jenson and John Conlan have? How many differences do you think Lorraine Jenson and John Conlan have? Well you are about to find that out. In the book The Pigman, written by Paul Zindel, there are two characters, Lorraine and John in which i am comparing and contrasting. Even though Lorraine doesn't seem like as though she has alot in common with John they can be alike and different in the littlest things possible, such as in physical appearance, in thier behavior

Who is most responsible? Everyone knows that in the book The Pigman, written by Paul Zindel, Mr. Pignati was a very important person for John and Lorraine. After his death, John and Lorraine were emotionally shaken and it helped them to understand that things like that happen. In a way, it helped them become and act more like adults.

He always had that fake, happy smile and big laugh. He never changed. Lorraine changed, though. When she first met the Pigman she was cautious and reserved. Now, she has learned to have fun and live on the edge. She roller skates in houses, has parties, and much, much, more. John has definitely evolved the most, though. In the beginning, he was obnoxious and didn’t know

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 first bit I am going to summarize is chapters one through five. At the start of the book Lorraine and John are

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

My Response~ While reading The Pigman, I found myself connecting with several of the novel’s themes quite well and, although I can’t say I grew with the characters as the pages went by, I can say that the book is a great read for someone grieving as the book deals quite a bit with death.

“Mortality is the most romantic story ever told. Just one chance to do everything you should. Then, magically, you move on”( author Lauren Kate). Everyone has one chance to do what they want in life, but soon it will come to an end. In the book, The Pigman by Paul Zindel, John and Lorraine suffer from mortality from their closest friends and family. This includes when Bobo the baboon dies, Mr.Pignati dies, and how John and Lorraine’s parents feel about their lives. Ones destruction may result in others’

In the Pigman the one symbolism I choose was to do Bobo the baboon. My representation of the baboon would be friendship for Mr. Pignati. Also I think Bobo served as some one he could grieve with after the loss of his wife. Bobo to me seemed he was Mr. Pignati only family that was still alive to be with him and for him to visit. Bobo might also be something that Mr. Pignati uses to remember his wife. In the story it said, “My wife and I both love animals” and then he would stop like it made him sad
