In this novel John allows you to explore the 40 developmental assets, caring, other adult relationships, and honesty. In the beginning of the novel John does not really fit either of those, but as he grows up, he starts to fit into those assets. He was a very bad kid until he met Mr. Pignati, Mr. Pignati was a very kind man who cared for John very well. I think that the caring of Mr. Pignati started to rub off on John. I think that because as John spent more and more time with him he started to become more of a man, and stopped doing the bad things that he was doing.

With The Pigman is a very good book that has a lot of detail, and that explains what is happening really well. John was one of my favorite characters in the book. I really like him because he was a kid that started out rough, and doing bad things, like fireworks in the bathroom, etc. Then towards the end of the book is started to pull it together, because he had that other adult relationship with Mr. Pignati. It was not only that that made him change into a gentle man. He also was very caring for others. Like John fought Norton Kelly to keep Norton from breaking all of Mr. Pignati’s glass pigs. At that point in the novel that is where John really started to become a man, because that was after the party that he had. And after that party he felt bad, and did not want to have that feeling. John was not honest at all in the beginning of the story. He would lie about everything, like when he let a fireworker off in the bathroom he said that he did not do it. There wa one part in the story that he was completely honest. At first Lorraine, and John had prank called Mr. Pignati an told him that they were charity workers, but then later John had the guts to tell Mr. Pignati that they were not charity workers. The book The Pigman was a great book, i like it alot, and I recommend it to anyone that likes to

To the friends in his life, the persons of acquaintance, and the extended family of the fallen: several weeks ago, a young boy perished in the midst of incertitude and chaos. Piggy, his apparent alias, was someone who made a definite impact on our lives. He graced the earth with his intuition, his compassion, his civil-nature, and his will to create a better world for you, me, and just about everyone. I remembered acquainting with Piggy over a decade ago in 1952. It was a time where we commemorated the rise of a new queen, Elizabeth II, it was a time where we still treasured the end of the horrendous world war, and it was a time before life twisted into dismay.
In the novel Lord Of The Flies, by WIlliam Golding, Piggy is characterized as intelligent. For example Piggy is shown as intelligent in LOTF such as in chapter 1 when Piggy told Ralph who had the conch that, “ ‘ We can use this to call the others. Have a meeting. They’ll come when they hear us ‘ “ (Golding 16). This is an excellent way of showing that Piggy is intelligent as he thought of something Ralph didn’t, which is a large foreshadow of what is to come.

A Brave New World book journal Chapter 1 The first chapter begins with a scary laboratory tour. The first paragraph seems a bit overwhelming with its use of references to the ”world state”.

There is a common expression that says men are pigs, and in Animal Farm, Orwell shows us how pigs turn into men. For example, “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which” (Orwell p. 141). Orwell portrays the pigs as leaders that control the animals into believing that what they as pigs are doing is right which leads to corruption. So people’s ignorance contributes to social oppression in that quote from Orwell.
