Lord of the Flies – Piggy, Ralph, and Jack

Lord of the Flies Piggy, Ralph, and Simon During side class, the eighth graders read Lord of the Flies. It is an adventurous novel about a group of school boys trying to survive on a unfrequented island. Each of the boys has their sustain personality and goals. While struggling to survive on the island, the boys personalities show. My preferent character is Piggy. Piggy is a fat boy and wears glasses. He was raised by his aunt who owns a candy shop. Piggy represents the scientific, bonny side of society.Although he is quite smart, the other boys like to make merriment of him. All of the boys, that is, except Ralph. Ralph is another boy who is stranded on the island. Ralph is the athletic, appeal character in the group. He is the first person Piggy runs into when they draw to the island, and one of the few boys who do not make fun of him. Because of his miscellaneaness, he is elected leader of the group of boys. Ralph represents human beings civilizing instinct. Another one of my favorite characters is Simon. Simon is the shy, sensitive boy in Lord of the Flies.He be kick ins kindly toward the other kids. He is the only character whose sense of righteousness seems to stay the same. Simon represents a kind of natural goodness, as opposed to the evil of Jack and the imposed morality of Piggy. As all three of the boys are trying to survive, each of them have their own ideas, proven by their different roles. Each of them have their own thoughts, proven by the many arguments between each other. As every(prenominal) boy has his own personality, Piggy, Ralph, and Jack are my favorites.
