Throughout the novel, Piggy is shown to be the smartest/wisest character. He often advises Ralph on his decisions and what to do.
In the book, Piggy says "Life...is scientific. In a year or two, when the war's over, they'll be traveling to Mars and Back" (84). This quote shows how he is thinking about escape, and how to do it. At this point in the novel, the other kids already forgot about escape. Piggy never forgets this goal.

He is the voice of reason among the group and he keeps Ralph focused.]]> 2019-05-14 14:02:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/359907219 Simon vs. Lord of the Flies https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/359907736 1. Simon and Lord of Flies
2. White (Peace) vs. Black (Evil)
3. Simon innocene is threatened by the Lord of the flies. This shows the common fight between evil and innocence, however he remains innoccent even though he is the only person on the island that actually "talks" to the lord of the flies.

In a way it is similar to mixing paint.If you start out with white and add black, it takes more black paint for it to become black than if you started with another color. If the other boys represent different colors, then they can mix together to create the evil, where as white lightens the other colors and is harder to corrupt.]]> 2019-05-14 14:03:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/359907736 Ralph and Courage henry_holloway https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/359908045 Ralph is a representation of Green, as he develops courage throughout his role as a leader.

-Simon is the representation or symbolism of God or religion. This brings a sense of hope or "light".
-"Then amid the roar of bees in the afternoon sunlight, Simon found for the fruit they could not reach, pulled off the choicest from up the foliage, passed them back down to the endless outstretched hands."
- he represented the goodness in society, and his death by the hands of the boys represented the destruction of purity/hope by society]]> 2019-05-14 14:07:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/359909467 Piggy: Fire https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/359909573 Piggy represents fire because he carries the only thing to start fire on the island and he is the most intelligent on the island.

He constantly kept reminding the boys of the fire and what it represented (rescue). He was knowledgeable throughout the whole book and the fire represents this. He considered things carefully and uses he knowledge to help the boys survive. He used the fire to do this.
"We haven't made a fire," he said, "what's any use. We couldn't keep a fire like that going, not if we tried" This quote shows Piggy's obsession with the fire and what is stood for.

-Red (Passion, blood
-Jack has white and red face paint, the white represents his old self and his innocence with the world. The red represents the passion he has for hunting and killing, but slowly over time the red takes over and exchanges passion for bloodlust.

Jack wears a Black cape in the beginning of the story. This represents his evilness and mysteriousness. Over the course of the book, the reader sees Jack develop into a controlling leader who has savage ways. Black represents the evil and savage ways of a person. It represents darkness and mystery. "Their bodies, from throat to ankle, were hidden by black cloaks," This represents the evilness of Jack.]]> 2019-05-14 15:03:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/359943058 Piggy and Fire archetype https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/359943076 Piggy is a symbol of logic in the story, and also literally provides fire with his glasses.
Fire as an archetype represents knowledge and rebirth, and knowledge applies more directly to piggy.
"Piggy's specs!" shouted Ralph. "If the fire's all out we'll need them." - this quote shows how Piggy's glass provide fire for the boys, and also give them a chance of rescue.

Archetype : Fire
Quote: "We don't want another night without fire."(162)
Explanation: Ralph represents rebirth and knowledge in this story just as fire does as an archetype. This is true because by the end Ralph is the only one who has kept his knowledge of civilization and is the only boy to be rescued. This rescue can be seen as a sort of rebirth for the character due to the circumstances surrounding him.

Jack is a symbol of a typical ruler craving power over everything else. He has no regard for the life or safety of those he is "leading". He can be represented by dark, wilderness, and black. He is often seen in the forest and adorning his face with a mask of red and black and even enters the book wearing a black cape.
"Power lay in the brown swell of his forearms: authority sat on his shoulder and chattered in his ear like an ape." (150) It shows his hunger for power and his need to control others.]]> 2019-05-14 15:03:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/359943418 Price and Ryanj https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/359944011 2019-05-14 15:04:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/359944011 Price, Owen, Corey, and Ryan https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/359944017 Roger has a red symbolic archetype. Red symbolic archetype represents blood and passion, and Roger is represented with blood because he likes to attack and kill living things. He is also represented with passion because he is passionate about doing wrong things. He is often compared to the devil himself because of all the bad things he does.
"Presently he stood up, holding the dripping sow's head in his hands." (136)
This quote shows that he represents blood and passion because he was holding the pig's head after he stabbed and killed the pig.]]> 2019-05-14 15:04:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/359944017 Piggy and White https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/359944748 Cooper and Lilly
-Piggy represents purity in the book because he never turns away from his moral values and stays true to himself.
-"Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man's heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy."
-Ralph cries when Piggy dies because Piggy is symbolically his hope. Piggy never gave up on the idea of being rescued and was always thinking of new ideas for being rescued.]]> 2019-05-14 15:06:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/359944748 Ralph and Dark https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/359944926 -Hayden Corbin
-Quote; "The fire’s the most important thing. WITHOUT THE FIRE we can’t be rescued. I’d like to put on war-paint and be a savage. But we must keep the fire burning. The fire’s the most important thing on the island, because, because—"
In the book, Ralph fears the dark. He relies on fire (light) to keep him and the others through the night. When they have no fire through the night, he starts to despair about their situation and starts to lose hope and drive to keep going.
In addition, Ralph is overall ignorant of the power that Jack holds. He neglects Jack and lets him do his own thing, to the peril of Simon and Piggy. Because of this, some could say that Ralph is responsible for the deaths of Simon and Piggy for being ignorant of Jack. However, they are just kids, and Ralph was doing his best to take care of the littluns.]]> 2019-05-14 15:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/359944926 https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/359946687 2019-05-14 15:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/359946687 Piggy and fire https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/360077990 Piggy's glasses start the fire in the book and fire represents knowledge.

Quote: "He capered toward Bill, and the mask was a thing on its own, behind which Jack hid, liberated from shame and self consciousness. The face of red and white and black swung through the air and jigged toward Bill"
Red represents Jacks bloodlust for hunting and his desire to kill pigs. White represents childhood and innocence. Even though Jack has very mature thoughts, he is still a kid and he has nobody to stop him from doing what he wants. Black signifies Jack's dark side and the beast that the lord of the flies says lives within everyone.

Archetype: Black/Ice/Red
Explanation: The reason why Roger exemplifies a red archetype is because the color red is symbolic of blood and passion which Roger illustrates. He kills for the fun of it and is always wanting to attack innocent things. Also, Roger is attached to the color black because he can be compared to the devil since he is simply evil. The ice as well can exemplify his ignorance because he seems to be in his own world when being told what to do.]]> 2019-05-14 19:28:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/360078421 The Littluns https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/360078507 The littluns are usually found playing in the water or in the bathing pool. Since water is viewed as life and birth, the littluns can be represented as babies or those closest to birth and the most ignorant. They are also the most rambunctious and lively of the group of boys. ]]> 2019-05-14 19:28:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/360078507 Piggy and Fire https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/360078687 Piper and Amelia

Piggy is the one who represents knowledge within the novel and he is also emphasizing the importance of the fire so that they can be found.
He also is the one with glasses so he is able to start the fire and is essential to fire efforts.

Textual Quote: "Ralph too was fighting to get near, to get a handful of the brown, vulnerable flesh" (Golding 115).
Explanation: Roger was acting as the boar during the mock hunt. His health and life was at risk during this hunt. As the savagery of the boys began to uproot and take hold of each individual, the amount of danger in which Roger was in increased. Thus, the boys hunting Roger represent danger, and Roger is in danger. ]]> 2019-05-14 19:29:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/360078703 Mikayla, Catherine, Jaelin https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/360079279 Archetype: Red
Character: The rock / Piggy
"Then the monstrous red thing bounded across the neck and he flung himself flat while the tribe shrieked... His head opened and stuff came out and turned red."
Throughout the novel, the red hue of the rock foreshadowed Piggy's murder and blood. It also represents Jack and Roger's blood-thirst. This can also be seen through their fascination for the rocks.]]> 2019-05-14 19:31:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jchickedantz1/8982y141sg64/wish/360079279
