The Pigman Summary

In the novel ‘The Pigman’ there are 2 teenagers Lorraine and John who play a prank on an old lonely man named Mr.Pignati. They soon realize after meeting Mr.Pignati in person, that he is actually a very nice man. They find out that he is very fun and cool to hang out with, and they find out about his sad past. They nickname this man The Pigman. Both John and Lorraine have a bad relationship with their parents so they like avoiding them and they just go to Mr.Pignati house. Since day one, Mr.Pignati has treated Lorraine and John like his children by giving gifts, wine, food and more. One day, while Mr.Pignati was at the hospital because of his recent heart attack, John convinced Lorraine to have a little party at the Pigman’s house. Lorraine who agreed, invited their friends and soon the “little party” turned out to be out control, causing them to break Mr.Pignati wife’s collection of porcelain pigs. When Mr.Pignati finds the house a mess, and that the collection of porcelain pigs that belonged to his wife who passed away was broken, and that John and Lorraine were responsible, he was hurt. To make up for being irresponsible they go see Bobo, but when they find out that Bobo died, Mr.Pignati passes away as well. In my opinion I think the cause of Mr.Pignati’s death is John, Lorraine and Mr.Pignati’s fault for several reasons. There are a lot of reasons why I blame John for what happened to Mr.Pignati. John is the type of guy who is lazy and just wants to have fun. He does not like school, and slacks off every day. He is a bad student because he also stink bombs the boys bathroom. So you would you say, he is an irresponsible guy. His personality is one of the reasons why he caused Mr.Pignati’s death. First, in the book it says that John and Norton started the prank calling game, which lead to Lorraine and John even meeting with Mr.Pignati in the first place. So, if John didn’t start the game, they wouldn’t have even met Mr.Pignati and he wouldn’t have died. Also
