Chapter 1: Ralph-has leadership and is smart, since he came up with blowing the conch when there is a meeting and went exploring on the island. In the future I think Ralph will continue to show his intelligence and be a great leader. Piggy-Piggy seems very nice and is eager to become friends with Ralph and is very trusting. I think Piggy will be made fun of since they found out from Ralph that his name is Piggy. Piggy seems to be an outsider since he wears glasses, has asthma, and is overweight.
On page 42 the boys are engaged in a dispute. During this argument, Jack says “A fat lot of you tried. You just sat”. This comment is directed towards Piggy. This causes a rise of emotion in the reader because the boys are mean to Piggy frequently even though he has also done nothing wrong.

People should become aware of the realities about the foods that they are eating because while eating fast food instead of having to take the time to cook a meal may seem like a good idea, the body things otherwise. In Wendell Berry's article,”the pleasures of eating,” Berry claims we do not pay attention to the foods we eat, making us eat foods that are quick and processed more often than we should. In his article, Berry lets us know that it is crucial to know what our food is made up of and where it comes from, he explains that instead of consuming processed foods, it may be a better choice to grow food instead.(Berry) Michael Pollan in “When a Crop Becomes a King” addresses the fact that nearly the entire food industry uses corn and corn
The woman, along with the other book-lovers of her society, feels ostracized from everyone else for not being allowed to do something she is passionate about. She is afraid of what she would do if she completely lost all access to books, and makes a statement because of it. Ralph and Piggy feel exiled from the rest of the boys in Lord of the Flies because they do not agree with Jack’s methods of leadership. This causes Ralph to dread any possibility of Piggy dying. Thus, Piggy’s death terrifies Ralph, and when the boys are finally rescued, “[he weeps] for the end of innocence… and the fall through the air of a true, wise friend called Piggy” (202).
There are three main characters of the book: Jack, Ralph, and Piggy. Jack is where the immorality on the island originates from, and it spreads to the other boys. Jack is very reckless and careless in his decisions. Ralph was the leader of the island, until Jack took control of the tribe and turned all of them into savages. Ralph was an image for the boys to follow but spoke Piggy’s words.
After a quick vote, Ralph was elected leader of the stranded boys, leaving Jack jealous and vengeful. Golding expresses in the novel how people can be made powerless and put in danger due to their self image. As a way to express this, Golding uses the character, Piggy, to give the audience a sense of what it feels like to have problems and conditions that create a separation between people. Piggy is a character with more of a sensible appeal to the problems that arise in this novel, but he is dramatically weakened after being caught time and time again envying Jack and Ralph. Piggy is described as a "fatly naked" (13) boy as he and Ralph are first scoping out and entering the pool, whereas when Piggy was exiting

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.
Lastly, in the end of the book, Piggy, Ralph, and Sam and Eric, a set of twins, are the only ones who have not joined a new tribe created by Jack. The other older boys raid what they have left and leads Ralph, Piggy and the twins to confront Jack. While Jack and Ralph are yelling at each other and fighting, a large boulder rolls down a hill and strucks Piggy, who falls off of a cliff and quickly dies. On page 181, the narrator states, “Then the sea breathed again in a long, slow sigh, the water boiled white and pink over the rock; and when it went, sucking back again, the body of Piggy was gone. This time the silence was complete.
After waking up, he remembers that a plane crash occurred. The plane that he was on crashed on an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean.

Golding portrays Piggy as the outsider to teach readers about the impact that logic and reason have and that they are necessary in order for a society and its inhabitants to thrive. Piggy’s advocacy for acting properly and civilly teaches readers that a people will become primitive when they do not act logically. Piggy’s expression of how logic is exchanged for desperation in times of war tells readers to be conscious of the motives behind the actions they are taking. Piggy’s role as an outsider while still having some effect on the boys shows readers that logic and reason can preserve morality, and lack thereof leads to chaos. Through the characterization of Piggy, Golding stresses that readers should put logic and reason at the forefront
The Communist Manifesto Marx and Engels oppose the bourgeois because according to them‚ the modern bourgeois has generally established led to the establishment of new classes‚ new conditions by which oppression has been promoted‚ and some new forms of struggle that have only replaced the ones that existed before the up rise of the modern bourgeois society. One of the ways in which they oppose the bourgeoisie is that is has torn apart the ties that bound men to their natural superiors. In so doing‚ man has been turned into a being that only have self-interests in whatever they do. An individual personal worth has generally been resolved into some form of exchange value in the modern bourgeoisie society.
