This picture and caption relates to when Piggy first saw/met Ralph on the island.  This was when they first crashed and were searching for anyone they could find.  Piggy first finds Ralph and they exchange names but Piggy only tells Ralph that people at school used to call him Piggy because he is overweight.  When Piggy shares this with Ralph, Piggy specifically tells Ralph not to spread the word.  Next thing you know Ralph tells Jack along with Jack’s choir boys.  This is why he is known as Piggy and I believe this is a big part of the story for Piggy because I shows he is the odd one out and the nerdy one.

This picture and caption relates to how Jack always thought he should be chief rather than Ralph.  This picture portrays Jack and his choir boys with their spheres, only wanting to hunt pigs rather than building important things like shelters or fires.  Piggy was very focused on surviving and had many good ideas when it came to trying to get rescued.  Piggy’s caption shows how he disagrees with Jack.

This picture relates to Simon who was killed by Jack and the rest of them.  Simon was one of the only civil ones left, including Piggy.  So, Piggy posted this picture in memory of him.  Even though Piggy was involved in the murder, Piggy is paying his respects and realizes how wrong it was.

This picture relates to when Jack decided to leave to make his own group and just hunt pigs.  Piggy gained more confidence after this moment in the book and I feel as if he had refocused and felt more hopeful since Jack was gone, and Jack would never let Piggy say a word.  Now Piggy has a voice.

This relates to when Piggy first met Ralph and Piggy found the conch and knew that if you blew n it, it created a loud noise.  This was the turning point of the whole story because Piggy telling Ralph how to use it summoned a group of kids from the forest.

This post is supposed to represent how intelligent Piggy is.  Piggy had many great ideas and was not always listened to.  He suggested there is no beast but if they were so scared why not build the fire on the beach?  He had many solutions to problems and this is why Piggy was such a pivotal character.

The post below shows Jack and Piggy’s relationship.  Jack breaks Piggy’s glasses for no reason and expects that Piggy will continue to want to help.  Piggy is too insecure to stand up for himself so e just goes with the flow.  Throughout the book Piggy is always treated unfairly by Jack.  Ralph soon realizes this and Piggy and Ralph become close friends.
