Third Little Pig

Improved Essays
To start, the third little pig is admirable because he is resourceful. In the beginning of the story, the three little pig’s mother sent them away. Each pig built a house out of the supplies that they could find. The first little pig built his house of straw and the second sticks, but these materials did not provide the necessary protection against the devious wolf. However, the third little pig was smart and built his house out of a strong material. “‘Please, Man, give me those bricks to build a house with; so the Man gave him the bricks, and he built his house with them’” (10). As demonstrated in the text, the third little pig used bricks to construct his house. Unlike his brothers, the third little pig used the materials that were available

    Piggy is overweight, short-sighted, and asthmatic. His physical inferiority to the other boys on the island makes him a representation of weakness. In this natural, wild setting where survival is key, it becomes clear to the reader that Piggy will not make it off the island alive.

    In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Piggy is the most mature of the boys, due to his intelligence and ideas and kindness to the others. Throughout the book Piggy’s ideas are shot down by the other boys almost immediately, even though it is obvious that he has the most intellectual ideas and thoughts out of all of them (Golding).Piggy’s intelligence shows his maturity, as it sets him apart from the others. His intelligence also helps him from resorting to savagery like the other boys, which shows that he is more mature and balanced, as not to resort to a primal nature. Piggy is also kind to most of the other boys, especially the littluns (Golding). He takes an almost parental role towards the younger boys due to always being left behind…

For this reason, the Wolf invited the third little pig to three locations. The first was a field of turnips, the second was an apple tree and the third was a fair in the village of Shankiln. Cleverly, the third little pig went to all…

    Every character in a story has a unique trait about them. Some characters possess great leadership qualities, others can think rationally and outside the box, and a few were power hungry and wanted dominion. In the Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, in which the boys are trapped on the island due to a plane crash, Piggy was classified as the sidekick of Ralph and acted as the adviser of the leaders. While the boys were fooling around and attempting to survive on the island, Piggy represents rationalism, loyalty and civilization. However, despite all of Piggy’s great qualities of being able to think big picture, he was very flawed, most likely the most flawed character in the book.…
