Piggy's Monologue

1902 Words8 Pages

They 've just told us we need to evacuate for World War II. I have mixed feelings about hsving to leave home. It might be fun to able to go to a new place, but I will also miss home greatly. I have just packed up all of my belongings to go on the plane. At least where we go there will be no war and everything will be safe, but I 'll still think sbout home every day I 'm there.

Everyone has just boarded the plane, some people are crying, while others seem optimistic about having to go to the new place. The war that we have to leave from isn 't in the new place. I wonder if anything there is like England? The thought of leaving home is scary to me, but the plane is cool with a real pilot and parachutes (not that we 'll need them).

I run out of the forest, full speed to see far ahead a pack of boys, most older some the same age, on a platform across the beach. As I run towards the platform the sun hits me. As I approach the platform I learn Ralph is the name of the boy who is msking the sound and Piggy is taking names of all the children. He doesn 't bother taking mine as they see me as no use, due to my lack of size and age. Just as the names were being called a group of boys in cloaks were approaching the platform the leader said his name was Jack Merridew the only one too give his last name. The sun seemed to be bothering the rest, but the leader tried not to show as the group of his group went to the shade. Ralph said he would be the leader, but Jack wuickly butted in with the support of his group. Ralph was nominated to be the leader and everyone moved forward with great excitement, eith the …show more content…

Ralph,Jack, and Simon have went off exploring the island to see what is psst the start of the forest and what we know. Piggy tried to go, but they didn 't let him go and made him come back. It is funny how on the first day Piggy was the one taking the names of everyone and no one has bothered to respect his. From the first day it was clear that Jack didn 't like Piggy or his ideas, but it was surprising to not see Ralph stick up for him. Ralph instead joined in with Jack, while Simon stayed quiet. I sometimes wonder about Simon he 's always so quiet and rarely ever talks to anyone. He is very well ores ted on the island, yet no one knows his opinions as whine the conch comes to him

    Today, Jack killed a pig. He and the other hunter boys painted their faces and danced to a war chant to get pumped up for the hunt. The group eventually found the pig, surrounded it, and stabbed it to death with sharpened sticks. Jack and the boys have become very aggressive and violent. They are constantly obsessed with killing pigs, rather than worrying about the fire like I do.

    Although he was only twelve years old, he believed that the boys had the ability to form a model utopia with happiness and harmony. Ralph was in need of constant words of advice from Piggy, the intellect of the island, because Ralph was more innocent than Piggy since he had not yet learned that people could be hurtful to one another. Piggy would have made the most effective leader on the island, but his asthma, overweightness, and insecurities restrained him from taking charge. Ralph and Piggy were the leaders that were aware of the isolation and possible outcomes if the measures to being rescued were not taken. Like Piggy, Simon was never specifically pointed out as a leader, but he represented the Christ-figure of the story.
