Today, Alexander T. Wolf and the Three Pigs will be guests in our room. They have traveled afar (even came back from the dead), just so they can tell you more of their side of the story. Before their arrival, you need to make ready questions that you could ask them that would quench your thirst of knowledge about their experiences. Your job is to generate five questions, varying them where you get additional information where you don’t already know the answer. You are encouraged to ask questions of any or all of the guests.

Golding uses the word pig in the beginning of the story to show a peaceful creature who shows the slow descent into savagery with the lack of civilization . In an article written by Hussein Tahiri, he writes about how at the loss of civilization, people can become more wild-like than normal, which can be seen throughout their actions. As Jack, Ralph, and Simon explore the forest, they see a pig stuck in the creepers. Jack raises a knife to kill it, but hesitates and the pig runs away. Ralph asks Jack why he did not kill the pig, to which Golding writes, “[he] knew very well why [Jack] hadn't; because of the enormity of the knife descending and cutting into living flesh; because of the unbearable blood” (Golding 31).

The rulers of the farm take advantage of the low reading skills that the rest of the animals possess and use that weakness against them, as the animals just believe whatever the pigs tell them to, as they have no reason not to. The pigs’ goals seem intact and they do

On the first hunt, the boys failed to slaughter a pig, but still know that, “Next time there would be no mercy.” Then, to assure the group had the idea even clearer, “[Jack] looked around fiercely, daring them to contradict” (P.31).

Shortly after hunting, and succeeding, the boys return with a pig shouting “‘Kill the pig. Cut her throat.

Fill your glasses to the brim. Gentlemen, here is my toast: To the prosperity of The Manor Farm! " (10.32),The pigs did not actually work, but directed and supervised the others. With their superior knowledge it was natural that they should assume the leadership.

They all see a pig tangled in vines and decides to try to hunt it. But when Jack is about to stab the pig, “ There came a pause... the

Jack’s group lost their innocence. They began shouting “Kill the pig! Cut his Throat! Kill the pig! Bash him in!”

The boys have now developed a daily routine and are talking about the “beastie” lurking around the island. Jack is now obsessed with the idea of killing a pig, so he paints his face and approaches the jungle chanting, “Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Bash her in.’ Ralph watched them envious and resentful.

The pigs, who are more intelligent, tricked the animals into thinking they have a choice when in reality they do not. Even more, as the story progressed, the animals lost their voice in debates. Every Sunday, the animals held Meetings in the farmhouse to discuss the work and plans for the week.

Once upon a time there was a bunch of not so little pigs. They had terrorised the entire city by ransacking the families that did nothing to them and they were know to set fire to houses and watched them burn to the ground.
