Lord of the Flies – Piggy, Ralph, and Jack

Lord of the Flies gross, Ralph, and Simon During English class, the eighth graders read Lord of the Flies. It is an chivalric novel about a group of school boys trying to survive on a lonely island. Each of the boys has their own personality and goals. While assay to survive on the island, the boys personalities show. My favorite image is Piggy. Piggy is a fat boy and wears glasses. He was raised by his aunt who owns a candy shop. Piggy represents the scientific, reasonable side of society.Although he is quite smart, the other boys like to make fun of him. All of the boys, that is, except Ralph. Ralph is another boy who is stranded on the island. Ralph is the athletic, captivate character in the group. He is the first person Piggy runs into when they get to the island, and one of the few boys who do not make fun of him. Because of his kindness, he is elect leader of the group of boys. Ralph represents human beings civilizing instinct. Another one of my favorite characters is Si mon. Simon is the shy, sensitive boy in Lord of the Flies.He behaves kindly toward the other kids. He is the only character whose sense of morality seems to stay the same. Simon represents a kind of natural goodness, as opposed to the evil of Jack and the imposed morality of Piggy. As all triple of the boys are trying to survive, each of them have their own ideas, proven by their different roles. Each of them have their own thoughts, proven by the many arguments mingled with each other. As every boy has his own personality, Piggy, Ralph, and Jack are my favorites.
