Piggy was the fat guy and the most mature of the entire group; he found the conch that Ralph uses to call an assembly and for talking because the person that has the conch can talk, otherwise he can’t. Finally Simon was a member of the choir that always helped everyone. These characters are symbols in our society; each of them represented something. Ralph by being a civilized leader that put rules labors so they can survive.
Piggy is one of the first characters introduced in the novel, and he is described as "the fat boy", which encourages the reader to like him and sympathize towards him, even if nobody else does. Piggy proves to have a great deal of importance as his knowledge and common sense is profound compared to the other boys among him. For example, he is the first to recognize that their chances of rescue are very slim, he knows very well that the beast isn't real, and his ideas of survival surpass the other boy’s plans.

Ralph is fair when it comes to making decisions; he does not choose himself and uses a voting system like democratic leaders. Jacks way of leading in lord of the flies is very different to Ralphs.

He doesn’t fear it, which shows that Piggy is different from the rest of the boys. Later on in the novel, Piggy is one of the very few boys who are not savages.
The boys in Coral Island are very good at heart, compared to the boys in Lord of the Flies where the boys are complete savages at heart. Ballantyne’s protagonists Jack, Ralph and Peterkin are all honourable and have a special bond which they keep throughout the novel and remain close. However Golding’s characters are all his interpretation of British boys (Yobs which if they roam away from adult control, plunge into savagery).
