Piggy Foreshadowing Analysis

Schoolboys lose their innocence Lust and greed are more gullible than innocence by Mason Cooley. In the book Lord of Flies , schoolboys from England crashed on an island , near the Pacific. Their innocence starts to slowly drift away as the longer they stay at the island. The boys tried to keep their connection to the adult world , but the boys were losing hope. The schoolboys lost their innocence by killing a mama pig , killing another school boy named Simon and hunting down another school boy named Ralph, to the point of almost killing him.

Ralph moves out of the way, but Piggy, without glasses, cannot see it coming and the “rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee” leaving him to die (Golding 181). In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, a plane crashes on an island, leaving a large group of boys stranded with no adults. Ralph is chosen to become leader and Piggy becomes the brains behind him. Another boy named Jack slowly takes power over Ralph and creates a new tribe that paints their faces and lives more savage-like, rather than more civilized like Ralph. They hunt pigs, getting very violent and aggressive.

Roger showed it in small ways, such as knocking over percival and Johnny’s sand castle. Roger later on becomes even more evil when Jack and the hunters trap a pig, and Roger tortures the sow. Roger shows no remorse. He later pushes the boulder on Piggy and causes Piggy to die. Roger became more and more evil, showing no remorse for his evil

The man doesn’t think much of it, he calls the old man “woman-ish” and thinks he just can’t handle the weather. The man then gets another fire going but made the mistake of putting it under a tree. As he tries to build another fire, its gets extremely more difficult because the man’s fingers are very numb. The man then gets a brilliant idea of killing his dog, so he can get inside of it to stay warm. That idea doesn’t last long, because the man barely has any use of his hands.

After taking over, Jack and Ralph fight while Piggy stands off to the side, blind as a bat due to Jack stealing his glasses. In the middle of the altercation, a boulder is launched from a catapult-like contraption, hitting Piggy square in the face. Piggy’s “head opened up and stuff came out and turned red. Piggy’s arms and legs twitched a bit, like a pig’s after it had been killed” (Golding 181). This is the one quote where parents have some cause for concern, as the scene in which he dies is fairly graphic compared to others in the book.

Suurkula also analyze when the person becomes overwhelmed with SOB the person become emotionally unstable ,impulsive<,negative, Aggressive , irresponsible, very egoistic, self-assertive , and unempathetic . these feelings mirror Jack in LOF ; like when their game of “kill the pig” almost turned deadly and robert suggested they use a real pig next time Jack was empathetic to his feelings , laughed it off and said “Use a littlun” , also as jack starts to hunt more he becomes more numb to the killing of not only animals but also humans .the same goes for Elie in night , as his father was dying he became more numb and suppressed his emotions and loss empathy for the deterioration of his father . . greediness is also a trait of SOB and Elie showed his greediness by

I understand how he feels.” What is time earlier in the book when Julian wanted to be a hero, and how did that turn out for him?

In Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, insanity is depicted throughout the novel by Jack and his followers which later become known as “The Tribe”. Insanity is a form of mental illness which causes the inhabitant to be overcome with madness. In chapter 10 Golding tells of a horrendous attack against Ralph, Piggy, and the twins Sam and Eric. The attack was led by none other than Jack and the tribe to steal Piggy’s glasses for a fire to roast a pig that was hunted earlier. Ralph later confronts Jack at the “Castle Rock” to inform him that if he needed fire all he had to do was ask.

Piggy struggles for attention and for his voice to be heard, but the other boys never give that to him. At group gatherings especially, Piggy confronted by Jack and is told to “shut up” which leaves him feeling “wilted” and dejected, which he feels after he is involved in most conflicts (Golding, 42). Piggy is seen as unwanted because of his physical weakness; when Piggy suggests that he comes to explore the island with Jack, Simon, and Ralph, he is told

Simon, being one of the wiset boys, said, “Maybe there is a beast...maybe it’s only us…” (Chapter 5, page 80). Some boys believe that there is a wild beast roaming about and others think that it is nonsense. The boys are beginning to split up and divide themselves over the thought of a silly creature when in reality, they should be packing together. A dead parachutist lands on the island, stuck in the rocks and trees and the boys mistake it for the beast. The boys have officially decided that continuing hunting on the island is better than trying to get off the island which makes Ralph very angry.
