    Firstly he was killed by the very ones he wanted to help, and also everything he says has a great impact, negative and positive. Simon makes very controversial statements at the assemblies. These statements are not easy to swallow for most of the boys as he is usually confirming their greatest fears. He is a lot like Piggy, because he has the right motives, and the correct advice, he just doesn't know how to inform and persuade the others. Piggy obviously notices this and is a kind and supportive friend of Simons at the assembly. Simon returns this by only trusting piggy not to laugh at…

    There are several instances in the story where Ralph, the leader, goes against the majority. Ralph tries to put thought behind the things he does, much like Piggy. Piggy showed this maturity when he said “Acting like a crowd of kids!” and “What do they think they’re going to do on that mountain?”(Golding 38). Piggy said all of this in disgust because he, much like Ralph, thinks differently than the rest of the characters. Throughout the story Ralph was found trying to appease Jack, in one situation Jack had struck Piggy to vent his anger and Ralph replied “That was dirty trick”(72) but did not punish Jack . Ralph allowed Jack to hunt with the choir, his appointed hunters. Jack failed his task of keeping the fire going and Ralph further appeased…

    In the first few pages of the book we see that the boys are stranded on a uninhabited island. Thanks to Ralph’s conch, all the boys grouped up together. Once again as a group, they choose themselves a leader, which turned out to be Ralph, and once the formalities were over, who brings up the point that they’re stranded on an island with nobody’s knowing? Why none other than our loveable friend Piggy. “Who knows we’re here? Eh? Nobody knows where we are. Perhaps they knew where we were going to; perhaps not. But they don’t know where we are ‘cos we never got there.”(page 34) This shows Piggy’s more social side, because he expresses this idea to the entire group of boys, and showing the bond he has to civilization. We can see Piggy’s is a very civilized and sophisticated child, always remembering all the useful thing his auntie taught him. These two small yet very relative examples show the bond Piggy has to society.…

    Piggy was order. Jack is a savage. Unfortunately these two entities cannot co-exist in harmony. They fail. All throughout the book, Piggy has been subjected to derision from just about everyone on the island. Ralph took into pleasure teasing Piggy because it was fun, and frankly, he did really care about what Piggy had to say. He threw Piggy insults. But it just didn’t matter to Ralph. Jack shared a special fierce enmity with Piggy. Piggy ruined fun with his constant whining about the conch, his specs, etc. They would butt heads. Piggy became a bore to everyone. He…

    In the story Jack is innocent and behaves like he still in the world of grownups. When he first enters the story he makes the choir wear their school uniforms even though it is unbearably hot. As soon as he sees Piggy he says “Shut up fatty” (pg.21), which shows him becoming meaner and not acting like he would if he were with an adult. Jacks first attempt to become chief was dismissed and given to Ralph, which is most likely what began his dislike for Ralph.…
