Character Analysis Piglet From Winnie The Pooh
The character I am diagnosing is Piglet from Winnie the Pooh. Piglet is a pig who lives in Hundred Acre Wood in his own little home inside the beech tree where all of his friends – the other characters in the series – reside as well.

    Piggy the tritagonist in the novel “The Lord of the Flies”, has a name that has many different meanings. The most stereotypical and assumed meaning of his name would be “fat” or “obese”and it is known that many people who are obese or fat in books are usually discriminated against. His name gives insight into his character since his character is left out a lot. An example of Piggy feeling left out is when Jack says “Shut up.”(Golding 11) and does not allow him to talk. This makes him feel powerless and unworthy to be in their society. This also occurs in other books such as “Freak the Mighty”. Freak the Mighty are discriminated against because of their disabilities and the way the look. They are considered to be outcasts just as Piggy is.…

    The final turn to complete savagery occurs late in the novel, when Roger blatantly murders Piggy. Piggy goes to the rest of the group with conch in a final effort to return to civilization.

    In the beginning of the novel, Lord of the Flies, Piggy is timid. Piggy changes from being timid to being confident to feeling free. Here are some examples of Piggy changing. In chapter one, Piggy felt embarrassed when Ralph told the boys his name. The boys laughed then “for the moment the boys were a closed circuit of sympathy with Piggy outside: he went very pink, bowed his head and cleaned his glasses again” (Goldberg 14). In chapter two, Piggy got enraged because of Jack, Ralph, and the other boys. Piggy said, “Like kids!” he said scornfully. “Acting like a crowd of kids!”(Goldberg 30).

    Throughout the novel Lord of the Flies the character Piggy was often looked as the overweight, four-eyed, physically unfit member of the group that had no value other than as punching bag. Rather than being a valued member of the group, Piggy was often taken advantage of and all of his ideas were shadowed by the fact that he was overweight. Piggy's ideas were often overlooked by the fact that he was overweight despite that many of his ideas would bring great benefit to the group.

    I am stranded on a desert island with a group of rude and immature boys, and no responsible human being knows I am here. The atmosphere of the island is not very good for my asthma. It is hot and humid, so it's hard to breathe, and I can't even go swimming to cool off, because my Auntie says I can't on account of my asthma. The first boy I met on this island was Ralph, who seems completely disinterested in everything I say. The only thing that caught his interest was when I told him of my loathed nickname, "Piggy." After I warned him that I didn't want people to call me that, he went and blurted it out to the other boys, and since then I have been mocked and tormented to no end. Ralph used the conch that I found to gather all the boys together, and he was appointed leader. Whoever wants to speak has to hold the conch, but whenever I am holding the conch, Jack interrupts me and sometimes he even makes fun of me. If Auntie was here, none of this would be happening; she would take care of me and give me all the sweets I desire. For now, Journal, you are my only friend; the only thing in which I can confide. I am going to go find something to eat now.…
