Piggy is overweight, wears glasses due to his poor eyesight, and has asthma. Despite his physical shortcomings, Piggy is quite intelligent and rational. Piggy is often alienated by the other boys due to both his physical and intellectual differences.]]> 2017-03-21 19:07:50 UTC https://padlet.com/george_porter/sample/wish/161636326 george_porter https://padlet.com/george_porter/sample/wish/161636362 "Life is scientific...I know there isn't no beast, but I know there isn't no fear either. Unless we get frightened of people" (Golding 84).

This quote exemplifies Piggy's rational nature, even while the rest of the boys are irrationally speculating about the existence of "The Beast." This quote also shows Piggy's understanding of the role fear might play in creating a "beast."]]> 2017-03-21 19:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/george_porter/sample/wish/161636362 george_porter https://padlet.com/george_porter/sample/wish/161636384 2017-03-21 19:08:01 UTC https://padlet.com/george_porter/sample/wish/161636384 george_porter https://padlet.com/george_porter/sample/wish/161636411 Piggy serves both as Ralph's advisor and as the voice of reason and rationality. Not only does Piggy provide Ralph with good ideas, such as using the conch as a tool for organization/order, he acts as a counter-balance to the influence Jack has on Ralph. While Ralph doesn't always show Piggy respect, he is the closest thing Piggy has to a friend on the island.]]> 2017-03-21 19:08:05 UTC https://padlet.com/george_porter/sample/wish/161636411 george_porter https://padlet.com/george_porter/sample/wish/161636439 Thanks for the advice Piggy.
