LOTF Notes
 * Piggy has finally taken a stand now that everything has fallen apart. He relies on the conch to do so, and says that things need to be done for the sake of "what's right's right."
 * As more things go wrong, Ralph's confidence lessens and is often needed to be reminded on what needs to be done.
 * Jack's savagery - "Got to? Who says?" - If there isn't anyone to tell him not to steal, he'll do what he likes. Golding is saying that if there are no rules people will be savages and do as they please.
 * The death of Piggy is the end of the conch. The conch "ceased to exist", meaning that Democracy and rules has gone as well.

Esasy Ideas - How does Piggy's character change depending on certain situations? Is there a trend? - How does Piggy's character compare to Ralph's after the death of Simon ? - Which situations in the book forebode the reason for Piggy's name ? - What is the significance of Piggy on the island ? - Who does Piggy's character represent in society ?

Final Essay Topic Who does Piggy's character represent in society ? //Cissy - this is similar to what we will be examining for the debate which is fine. What is important is to keep the focus on the language and avoid big generalizations about "society" The word "society" is extremely vague. Perhaps you could focus on Piggy's characteristics and the ways in which those characteristics (negative and positive) affect the group of boys. Extend the idea beyond the text in your conclusion, but stay close to an analysis of the words on the page for the body of your essay.
