Decent Essays
Simon showed kindness to others, Piggy cared for everybody, and Martin Luther King Jr. showed wisdom and love, all while their society was falling apart. Simon helped the littluns get fruit from the topmost part of the tree and warn Piggy about the beast when not another single person would. Piggy always taught others that violence was never the right way to go and keep calm since they could shortly be rescued if they work together. Marti Luther King Jr. consumed his whole life giving wise speeches and fighting for the whole nation to have same rights and treat everyone equally. To conclude, this shows that everybody in this world his good in them and it is possible to show it in every occasion nonetheless some people get mislead into mob mentality
