Outline speech for piggy lord of the flies

In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies there are many characters. Two of the most prominent and distinct characters are Piggy, and Jack Merridew. Both Jack and Piggy, are stubborn English boys of about 12 years old and symbolically represent groups of society and parts of the human thought, but Jack and Piggy’s similarities end there.

Piggy is the first to find the shell, and even states that it would be a great idea to use as a way of allowing everyone in the groups voice to be heard. This method with the shell is used throughout the entire novel, up until the falling action. Piggy is also the voice of reason during the debate about the beast.

Throughout Lord of the Flies, Piggy is an important character, because he tries to do what’s best for the boys, but he has no authority because the boys don’t respect him. The boys all together became uncivilized. Piggy, stayed the same strict rules obsessed, serious boy.

Piggy just called a meeting for all the boys on the island, so Ralph and he can learn all the boy’s names. This shows Piggy was mature. He was thinking ahead on learning the names of the boys and how many there are just in case something bad happens.
