Piggy's Glasses In Lord Of The Flies By William Golding

In my book Lord of the Flies by William Golding, we learned the importance of the conch and the importances of Piggy’s Glasses and the fire. The things I learned about these objects were from the context clues in most of them and from Ralph explaining some of the reasons why he thought the conch was important. The reason why the fire was so important because it was a part of survival. The reason why Piggy’s glasses were so important because it showed the importance of Piggy and the way people would think of him.

Either way, he wouldn’t be useless but of course he cares what everyone else says, Piggy is kind of the go with it guy unless he know it’s wrong or stupid whatever the other boys are trying to do that they think is smart but is not. As it starts to go on in the book, the glasses break but it is not to make them think Piggy is useless because he is way more than they think. The glasses symbolize more of a way to show the boys they are doing good for being deserted on island by themselves without civilization. “The chief led them, trotting steadily, exulting steadily in his achievement..” This shows that even though the glasses were broken, Piggy felt accomplished
