WELCOME STUDENTS!

This is a place for us to discuss openly and honestly the literature we are reading. Here we are all just communicating our thoughts on what we are reading. There are no right and wrong answers. However, you are expected to be polite, mature, and on topic.

Oh, Piggy!

Few people can read Lord of the Flies without getting attached or feeling kinship in some way to Piggy.  What does Piggy represent other than intelligence in the novel?  Why do you think so many readers select him as their favorite character or connect with him?  With that being said, why do you think Golding spends only two paragraphs filled with pig imagery to convey his death?  (The deadline to post a response to this blog question is midnight, Nov. 5th.  Please note there is another blog directly below this one that also expires on this date, so give them both a shot; you are already here.)
