Quote | Response | “I don't care what they call me, as long as they don’t call me what they used to call me in school...They used to call me Piggy!”(Page.11) | Piggy is one of the smaller characters in this story. He is called piggy by the boys because that’s what he reminds them of. Early on in this point the boys show a sence of hate towards piggy because he is little. This emphasizes of what he will be known as throughout the entire story. The boys bother and threaten him because he doesn’t do much about it. Piggy shows positivity as they are trying to survive. I think that it was very mean to call him that because of what he looked like. He should have stood up for himself more than what he did. The author is showing us how much calling someone names can bother a person. | “They knew very well why he hadn't: because of the enormity of the knife descending and cutting into living flesh; because of the unbearable blood” (Page.31) | Being from a strict military school the boys had discipline and this is resembled here. This passage occurs after Jack sees a piglet stuck in vines and pulls out his knife to kill it. He hesitated and did not kill the pig because it had the chance to free itself and flee. Jack said he didn't kill the pig because he didn't know where to cut it and says that he will kill the next pig he sees. But here, that wasn’t the truth. This passage is significant because it shows that Jack was not a savaged but a disciplined, civilized person, who would not kill a pig without regret for wrongdoing. He simply did not want to kill it because he wasn’t that kind of person to kill the living. We are given an example about how we shouldn’t threaten to kill mother nature in our living world today. | | | | |
