So far the most interesting character to me is piggy. He seems to be the only character who has feelings so far. He has good ideas but gets shut down by the other boys. He was vulnerable for telling Ralph what the people at school used to call him and he got betrayed but still tried to be friends with him after that. He didn't give up.

To me, Jack seems the most interesting. He is clearly very arrogant, but he did not throw a fit when Ralph was elected as leader instead of him. "[Jack] started up, then changed his mind and sat down again while the air rang. Ralph looked at him, eager to offer something. 'The choir belongs to you, of course.' [...] Jack and Ralph smiled at each other with shy liking" (Golding 16). In this excerpt, Jack is at first, embarrassed because Ralph was chosen instead of him, but does not say anything. After Ralph offers to let him stay in charge of the choir which Jack is a part of, Jack becomes more accepting of his loss. To be willing to step down and accept the share given by the winner of a competition requires acceptance. While Jack is very arrogant, he is also accepting of losses. This is why he is the most interesting to me.

So far the character I find the most interesting is Piggy. He is smart and shy. He has come up with some good ideas so far. He lets Ralph think that he thought of them even though he didn't. I like how he called out Ralph for telling everyone his name was Piggy. To me that showed that he can also be brave.

I think that the most interesting character so far is Piggy. He seems very honest and trusting. He trusted Ralph with his terrible nickname from the start. I don't know why he would do that. I would think that you would keep that to yourself and never mention it to anyone, especially someone you don't know at all. Piggy seems to be very smart, but doesn't say a lot because he knows that people will make fun of him. He seems like a nice person.

Jack is a pretty interesting character to me because he really stands out. He's got a face that's described as "bold" and "ugly", but it kinda works for him. He's got this air of confidence and authority that just draws people in. He's a natural leader too - he's able to get the choir together for a hunting party and he's definitely in charge when hunting.

But here's the thing - he's also got this hunger for power and control. He's already a little jealous of Ralph being in charge and I can't help but wonder if he's willing to get violent to take over. Or gather the boy's for a coup against Ralph

I find Ralph as the most interesting character. That is because he is just a good guy who wants peace overall. I love the way he represents and helps everyone and everything. "Ralph is the primary representative of order, civilization, and productive leadership in the novel. While most of the other boys initially are concerned with playing, having fun, and avoiding work." I love that Ralph has this mindset, that he shows some respect and has something to offer to the world and to help the kids have the life they had before the crash. -Kendall L

I think Ralph is fascinating because he seems to talk lead. and people already respect him. he was appointed leader. and went on a scouting mission i feel like he is a really good leader so far.

# data[].attributes.body
To me, Ralph seems like the most interesting character. He is appearing to be a natural-born leader and although Piggy has given him a lot of assistance Ralph is the most capable.

To me, piggy is the best character because I don't know he is just an interesting character and the fact he has asthma is interesting that he is the only one.

i found piggy interesting because hes smart simple and just wants to be there he doesn't want to be the leader or boss people around he just wants to be there to help. - kayla k

Piggy is the most interesting because he's not perfect he's chubby and very smart. Piggy is not as interested in becoming the leader like the others. He also becomes a victim unlike everyone else. The other boys like to pick on him. That is why I find Piggy so interesting. - Kary T

The character that seems most interesting to me is Piggy. He seems the most interesting because he talks about his life before the plane crashed on the island. He talks about how his family did not want him to do anything because he has asthma. He also seems to be self-conscious because of the nickname he has gotten. Piggy looks like he wants to help with setting up camp, but the others won't let him.

I think ralph has a lot of character development and will be the best story. I think that he is interesting. I think that he will find a way to make shelter and food. I also think that his dad will be the one to find them (the navy seal).

# data[].attributes.body
I think piggy is very interesting. I think he is because he is the runt of the group and I feel like he can help them emotional, rather then physical. He wants to make friends with everyone and be there for them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think piggy seems the most interesting because he stands out the most with his personality traits and his backstory. he seems smart. and is always doing something. i feel like he just wants to make friends while also giving his own ideas. -Areana F

Piggy is a more interesting character thanks to his level-headedness and intelligence. For example, when the boys are first stranded on the island, Piggy is quick to suggest that they should "make a list" and keep track of who is present. This demonstrates his organizational skills and his ability to think logically in a chaotic situation. Additionally, Piggy's backstory is briefly touched upon, revealing that he has a difficult home life and is frequently bullied by others. This information adds depth to his character and makes the reader sympathize with him. Overall, within the first chapter, Piggy is the character that stands out the most due to his unique personality traits and backstory.

I think piggy is the most interesting. He always is doing something. He has a lot going in, so I think it's going to keep the story going. I feel like he is the most interesting because he is going to have a lot of challenges to overcome, I feel like.

Right now I think that Piggy is actually the most interesting to me. All the other kids are kind of being jerks to him, but I feel like he is smart, and will prove to be useful later on. The fact that he takes everyone's names makes it feel like he is trying to make some friends, and get to know as many people as possible. He also wanted to go with the other boys to explore the mountain, showing that he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty, and help out the team. -Dylan D.

I believe the most interesting character is Jack. This because of the way he stands out, compared to the rest of the boys. He also is very ambitious and prideful, so I am interested to see how these character traits affect himself and others on the island. I'm also interested to see if his obvious desire to be a leader, is going to be a conflict.  "I ought to be chief," said Jack with simple arrogance, "because I'm chapter chorister

and head boy. I can sing C sharp." This quote shows jacks arrogance and how he believes that a leader should be the most talented or powerful, instead of someone who should help others and bring people together.  He doesn't really understand what a leader is he just wants control and power, to be a dictator. - Madison B.

Normally when I watch movies or read books, I'm more interested in characters with antagonistic features—so naturally I was more drawn to Jack Merridew. I assume Jack will be a pretty prominent character throughout the story based on how much he stands out at the beginning of the story. I'm interested to see how his actions and beliefs will affect the rest of the characters or even the outcome of the story. He clearly plays the role of the tough, almost pompous type of person within the group and I guarantee we'll be seeing more than the surface of his character.

I really seem to like Ralph. He seems to take on the responsibility and authority role. He made fun of piggy but made it a goal to keep his friends close and help them out.

# data[].attributes.body
Ralph seems interesting because he seems assertive and ready to lead everyone and help them live.

I believe that ralph is the most interesting character because he seems like he has a lot of authority even from the beginning. When he first meets piggy he decides to make fun of him to make him seem like he is not scared . But once he sees piggy is hurt he makes it his responsibility to help him. Joseph p.

# data[].attributes.body
Ralph thought of him trying to take back what he said to piggy to keep their friends close or insult him to seem tougher so he has more leadership and give him interest.

I believe that a interesting charater to me was Jack. He seems to want to be in charge of everyone. He may be the antagonist for this story. He may and try to take control of the group and keep anyone from opposing him. That is why I believe the most interesting character is Jack. Dean. H

Who do I think is the most interesting character in the story? I think the most interesting character is Ralph. "Stillness descended on them. Ralph, looking with more understanding at Piggy, saw that he was hurt and crushed. He hovered between the two courses of apology or further insult." This quote shows that he had an internal battle about whether to be a jerk or to be nice. I feel like this is an interesting battle because it can tell you a lot about his character. So, in conclusion, I think Ralph is the most interesting character.

The character that seems most interesting to me is Ralph. He seems like a natural leader and I am interested in how he is going to lead all the boys on the island. The other boys selected him as leader because he blew through the conch, so Ralph was appealing to them. He also interests me because I still can't figure out if he's going to be a good guy, or turn out selfish and deceive the others.

The character that caught my interest is Simon. He is very interesting to me because of the way he is. He seems very genuine, honest, true, and real. The description of his looks also caught my attention. "Now that the pallor of his faint was over, he was a skinny, vivid little boy, with a glance coming up from under a hut of straight hair that hung down, black and coarse," (page 12). This to me is like a hint at something that is yet to come. The author doesn't seem to describe any other characters except for the important characters. I feel like Simon is going to have a big role in this book and have a big impact on the other boys. I think that Simon may not have been well taken care of, but I also think that he is very knowledgeable for a kid his age. By the sounds of it, he sounds mature but is also a young child. I'm thinking 10 or 11 years old. I also believe that he is one to solve problems when some seem impossible to solve. I feel that Simon is going to become some type of role model to the others, at least to the younger kids who need someone to look up to. But I honestly believe that Simon is going to be one of the most reliable characters in this book.

Emma i agree with you. I feel like with how much he is used to leading people he might overstep ralph as the leader. But I am excited to see his what becomes of his character.

# data[].attributes.body
The character jack seems the most interesting to me. As weird as it sounds I like his sense of arrogance so far, it tells us how he is most likely used to get what he wants and people listening to him. We can tell that people listen to what he says when he is commanding his group to do his group immediately does what he says. I am interested to see what become of his character.                                                         Isabella W.

MJensen- i agree, i feel like seeing his character progess and possibly become more extroverted will be a real chnage of pace. i also thingk seeing his relationship with ralph and jack progess will be very interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
i think jack sounds the most interesting. i feel like throughout the book we will see a more soft version of his character. He seems pretty hard headed and wants to take control over everything. Once he realizes what is truley going on i feel like we will see how much he will truley cares. Also, i want to see jacks relationship with ralph progess. i feel like it will be really rocky but in the end they will be best freinds. - Ashlynn Wild

MJenson, yes!! Piggy is a very interesting character. Even though is name is a little silly, it'll be cool to see what problems he has to work through and what he will go through for his character to develop! I have to agree, Piggy is a very funny character. I especially love his personality!

I think Jack is the most interesting because he is the leader of a group of boys who are in black uniforms. I want to know how that group got there and why they are all dressed in black. Jack seems like a very important character because he leads that whole group and must have a good amount of training to do so. He seems brave, adventurous, and independent. I can't wait to see how his character develops!

Piggy seems the most interesting because there's never a dual moment with him his kept the book funny with his expressions an was funnier then I assumed he'd be all of them keep the book going but he just keeps the story going in my opinion, his name isn't the only reason why i picked him to be the most interesting I choose him because in the story his character has so much going on and is always doing something funny. I definitely feel like later on in the story even though his not the leader he'll be a big part of the story. (MJensen)
