Representation Of Piggy

A rope is a very strong symbolisation of Piggy because they both hold things together. This representation is true because people use rope to tie or hold things together much like Piggy does during the story. A quote from the text to show this is “The first thing we ought to have made was shelters down there by the beach” (Golding 35). In addition piggy exemplifies a rope because he supports the group. A key way Piggy supports the group is taking care of the little ones. In conclusion Piggy symbolises a rope because he ties everyone together and helps to support the group.
Another symbolic relation is Ralph embodying a toolbox because they are both useful for many different things. This representation holds true because a toolbox holds many different items, thus making it useful for many different tasks or projects. One piece of evidence from the story is “That’s why Ralph made a meeting, so we can decide what to do” (Golding 15). Additionally Ralph is like a toolbox because a toolbox is the main thing you need when fixing something. This is shown in the story as Ralph is the main leader of the group. To conclude, Ralph symbolises a toolbox because they are both useful for many different things and are both the main thing in either leadership or fixing things.
This representation is valid because much like a saw Jack can make things worse if used wrong. One way this is shown is in the quote “We’ve killed a pig… you let the fire go out” (Golding 52). Another way that Jack exemplifies a saw is because a saw can be used to fix something, but not by itself. This is shown in the reading when Jack comes up with a way to light the fire, but still relies on Piggy to get it going. In conclusion, Jack represents a saw because both can quickly make matters worse if used wrong and cannot directly fix their problems without the help of someone or something
