is the much-hated, overweight boy on the island who represents exactly what the boys are turning
away from: rational thinking. It is Piggy who determines that they need to count the number of
boys on the island. It is Piggy who decides to use the conch to assemble the boys. It is Piggy
who wants to learn everyone's name. It is Piggy who tells the group that the beast can't be
real. And it is Piggy who notes that the signal fire should be moved to increase their chances
of survival.
Piggy's ideas aren't valued because of his weight and physical
challenges; the other boys find him pathetic...
