Piggy

Your homework before our next class will be to approach the novel from Piggy's point of view. Before you can do this, you need to understand the "role" that Piggy serves in the story.

He is the kid on the island that everyone picks on. He is reminded of this every time they say his "name". Think about these questions:
Why are kids so cruel to each other?
What about when you are on the receiving end of the cruelty?
Have you ever stood by and watched the cruelty or teasing without stopping it?
Should you do something to stop it?
Or is it even possible ????
