Of all the characters featured in Lord of the Flies who relates to the book’s overall meaning and purpose the most? Piggy. William Golding purposely wrote this as an allegorical story, meaning almost everything -including characters- alludes to or symbolizes something else. I choose Piggy because he is the strongest example of this.

Piggy and Peeta are both important characters in their respective stories, Piggy was Ralph’s sidekick, helping Ralph make decisions and giving smart ideas, and Peeta being Katniss’ sidekick who wins The Hunger Games with Katniss. Both Piggy and Peeta have their similarities, but they also have their differences. The first similarity that Piggy and Peeta share is that they both share a talent that is overlooked by others. Peeta is shown to have a talent of throwing things, which is overlooked by everyone, while Piggy has his intellect and good ideas, which no one realizes. The other similarity is how Piggy and Peeta both have a liking for their main character from the beginning, but Ralph or Katniss do not feel the same. This happens at the

In the year of 1999, in Baltimore Maryland, a teen by the name of Adnan Syed was arrested for the murder of Hae Min Lee. A friend of Adnan’s who sold weed to him, Jay Wilds, testified against Adnan admitting to be an accomplice, and to have seen most of the crime.
