1. Piggy - appearance Shorter than Ralph Fat: “The naked crooks of his knees were plump… He was … very fat” Thick glasses Has asthma

2. Piggy – before arrival Was called “Piggy” at school and he did’t like it. “I don’t care what they call me,” he said confidentially, so long as they don’t call me what they used to call me in school Brought up by an aunt: who owned a sweet shop “She kept a sweetshop. I used to get ever so many sweets. As many as I liked” Father dead … doesn’t know about his mother

3. Piggy - thoughts about island Worried they won’t be rescued Realizes that nobody knows where they are “They’re all dead … Nobody don’t know we’re here. Your dad don’t know, nobody don’t know ----”

4. Piggy - actions Very friendly towards Ralph Shows Ralph how to blow the conch He can’t swim He moved amongst the boys asking their names trying to behave like and adult

5. Piggy – language Not as well spoken as the others “You told ‘em,” he says to Ralph

6. Relationship Not really accepted by Ralph Made fun of by Jack Is sympathetic towards the little ones Tries to act like a responsible adult

7. Anything else? Already stands out as a “loner” and as an outsider He has made sensible suggestions that Ralph has followed but he isn’t given any of the credit for it Seems strangely proud of the fact he wears glasses and has asthma (p3)
