In the novel Lord of the Flies (LOTF) by: William Golding, Piggy had the qualities of a good leader; however, not many of the boys were aware of this. They looked down on him due to his weight, which blinded them from being able to see these qualities which he possessed. For this reason, Piggy was treated poorly- being ignored, teased, and bullied throughout LOTF. If they didn’t judge him for his appearance and were more accepting, they would have seen the good leadership skills he had. His great skill of perception allowed him to see the faults of the group and know how to improvise their circumstances.
William Golding’s fictional, British novel, Lord of the Flies, presents a character that serves a two-part function as a “scapegoat” and a certain commentary on life. During WWII, a group of British boys are being evacuated via plane when they crash and are stranded on an island without adults. As time progresses, the innate evilness of human nature begins to overcome the savage society of young boys while Piggy, an individual representation of brains without brawn, becomes an outlier as he tries to resist this gradual descent of civilness and ends up shouldering the blame for the wrongdoings of the savage tribe. Up until his untimely death, Piggy is portrayed as the most intellectual and most civil character in the group of stranded boys. Right from the beginning, Piggy realized that “[they] got to do something,” (8) and he recognized the shell Ralph had picked up as a conch.
All throughout the book Piggy is faced with many challenges where most people would act in a bad manner, although Piggy is always responding very appropriately and does not act wrongly against the other. All these examples show how Piggy
George and Lennie have always dreamed about "Living off the fat of the land" this was inspiring to George and Lennie because they didn't want to be stuck working on other employers farms for their whole life. George and Lennie were going to have a little house with a neat fireplace, they would have a milking cow and when they milked it the cream would be so thick they could cut it just like butter. They would have a little garden, and five acres of land to live on, and when they didn't want to work they wouldn't. The most meaningful part of all of this was the rabbits, at least to Lennie, he would take care the rabbits and bring in alfalfa from the field to feed and nurture them. This dream was demolished when Lennie murdered Curley's wife.
A theme that arises around Piggy is the realists in the world are unheard when other people are overwhelmed by an inner evil. In the beginning, Piggy tries to make his name known but Ralph does not care and he calls him the one name he does not want to be called, which is Piggy. Piggy is seen as weak by the other boys because he is fat and has asthma. An example of Piggy being an unheard realist is when he is trying to get the attention of the boys and it is very hard when he finally gets their attention he tells them they need to build shelters and get rescued and points out that no one paid any attention to the ‘littluns’. Throughout the book, Piggy is a reminder of being rescued.
On Wednesday October 14th, 2015 I, Vanessa Francisco, had the privilege to go see the play Hana’s suitcase, along with my classmates. It was held at the young people’s theater downtown, and was written by Emil Sher, and directed by Allen Maclnnis. Hana’s suitcase was a drama, yet very mysterious and it was great.

Acts of immorality like eating your household pet Spot or Mr. Mittens, in reality, would have little effect on the people in Oryx and Crake. Instead, the scientists and Government support the acts in favor of money and human development. Pigoons, a pig, and a pigeon hybrid meant to grow organs compatible with humans, something that would end organ failure before it happens or replace grandma’s heart when she has a heart attack.

As a child Jimmy would visit the Pigoons at his father’s work and recalls how they looked at him, “They glanced up at him as if they saw him, really saw him, and might have plans for him later”(Jimmy, 26).
