This fits into the theme because it is when the boys realize that they can have power over themselves on this island and start to ignore the rules of the conch. The fire they unleashed represents the chaos that the society will eventually fall into. Piggy, as he represents law and order, glances into the fire and foreshadows what is to come. I really like the use of describing the noises of the fire as “a drumroll that seemed to shake the mountain.”

A treacherous wolf is waiting outside the pigs home, growing more and more impatient to gnaw down on him and satisfy his hunger. He threatens to demolish his home and tear him apart if he does not let him in. What would you do in a situation like this?The first two pigs in “The Three Little Pigs” could not adapt fast enough to this scenario which resulted in their death, but the third pig managed to work his way around the wolf's tactics and give him a taste of his own medicine.

When I think about the story, “The Three Little Pigs,” I think about an angry wolf blowing down the houses of two sweet little innocent pigs, trying to eat them, and how they had to run into their brother’s house made of brick and order to survive.

traces the changes in the production of time and space from the medieval period through the Enlightenment. For medievals under feudalism, space was sensuous and direct, and individual locations were situated in an unknown, "weakly grasped" cosmology; medieval maps emphasize the sensory qualities of space rather than the rational and objective qualities (240-2). The Renaissance instituted a number of changes that affected the production of space -- artistic perspectivism; mathematical developments; rationalized, "objective" and "functional" mapping according to a Ptolemaic system; Newtonian optics.
