The Story Of The Three Little Pigs
The story of a wolf eating a trio of triplet pigs is widely known, but what about the story where the pig ate the wolf? In the short story “The Story of the Three Little Pigs”, the Littlest pig out of the three is the most admirable. The story is about three pigs that finally get to live on their own without their mother. The first two pigs build a home, but the Wolf blows away their homes and eats them. However, the third pig's home does not get blown away, so the Wolf tries to play tricks on the Pig so he can be his dinner. The three traits that contribute to the third pig being the most admirable pig is because he is brave, sly, and intelligent. First, a trait that makes the third pig the most praiseworthy is that he is brave. The third pig is first shown as brave when he scares the Wolf away. For example, the Wolf invited the third pig to go to the fair together so the Wolf can trap the pig and eat him for dinner. The pig is fully aware of this so, like all the other times, he shows up to the fair an hour earlier than the set time. When the pig is on his way home, he spots the wolf. Brooke writes, “...and was on his way home with it when he saw the Wolf coming. Then he could not tell what to do. So he got into …show more content…
The third pig is clearly the most admirable throughout the short story because he is shown being brave, sly, and intelligent. The third pig is displayed as brave when he decided to scare the wolf by rolling down the hill in a butter churn. Also, he showed he is sly when he snuck out to the turnip field where the Wolf and he were supposed to meet up but snuck away before the Wolf showed up. Lastly, the third pig shows his intelligence when he chooses to use brick as his house material because he knows it is more sturdy. To conclude, to be admired by others isn’t an easy task, but the third pig in this novel, with all his traits, certainly is the most praiseworthy

    Broken down, this shows that Piggy is a resource that the boys need to utilize, but fail to, and instead they treat him like a set-back, only because he is weak. He has a lot more to offer than just physical labor, and should be honed for using his brain to problem solve, or be inventive. It is quite obvious he was often bullied for his weight at school, due to the fact that kids…

    Piggy Lord Of The Flies

    Piggy is one of the main characters as well as one of the first characters we, the readers, meet. He is characterized by his glasses, asthma, and a level of decorum that direct decorum that any stereotypical Brit could envy. Within their community, he is seen as the voice of reason(see: direct). This makes his character particularly important as he is surrounded by other boys who would rather treat their crisis as a playground. However, this cynicism, on a deeper level, can be seen as a method of deflecting and a power play. On page 46, he looks upon the others with disdain as they rush up the mountain to start the fire. This separates him from the other boys, in case something goes wrong. And, of course, it does. Towards the end of chapter two, as the mountain is burning, Piggy scolds them for both not thinking, but also(and more importantly) not listening to him in the first place. These actions enable Piggy to pass the blame to everyone else and thus, allowing him to walk away with a free conscience even though their main hope for food just burnt and one of their own might be dead.…

    He remains in solidarity, rarely speaking and gaining trust of both Jack and Ralph, who fight for the position of a leader. Simon is never aroused into violence, and manages to remain the only boy who is truly, consistently good, partly because of his nature. He remains good because his human nature is not provoked into savagery; he is simply above all the others. As for Piggy, his intellect arouses in him, a want to be heard; to spread his new and innovative ideas, instead of concealing them like Simon. Piggy represents the rational side of society, which at times makes him cold and careless of everything, except for gaining acceptance. The two represent separate parts of the deteriorating morality amongst the other boys, Piggy and Simon possess the qualities that are disregarded in the tumult of survival; Piggy is rational and intellectual, while Simon is the purity and goodness in people.…

    The theme in the "Three Little Pigs" is that not doing your best will hurt you later. For example,“One pig built his house out of straw,”and “So the wolf huffed and he puffed and he blew the house in!!!!” This is important because, the pig is being lackadaisical and he is not fulfilling his full potential in building his house and making a living for himself. Furthermore, his attitude causes the pig to be in a bad situation. Another example of the theme is, “The other pig who had built his house out of sticks,” and “So the wolf huffed and he puffed and he blew the house in!!!!” This shows that, the pig was being passionless in building his house and that he did not make the house the best he possibly could. Moreover, the pig did not do…
