Piggy is a chubby kid with specs who has asthma. He's basically the brains of the group, but nobody listens to him. He's always misunderstood and it's not fair for him.

Quote #1: "I don't care what they call me,' he said confidentially, 'so long as they don't call me what they used to call me at school.' Ralph was faintly interested. 'What was that?' The fat boy glanced over his shoulder, then leaned toward Ralph. He whispered. 'They used to call me Piggy' Ralph shrieked with laughter. He jumped up. 'Piggy! Piggy!'" (Pg 11)

Quote #2: Piggy clasped his hands in apprehension. 'I said I didn't want want-" (Pg 11)

Why these quotes: We chose this quote because in my opinion it shows how sensitive and underrated Piggy is because of his flaws. I don't think Piggy is appreciated enough in this book because nobody listens to him and they only focus on his flaws instead of listening to him and being understanding.
