He was arrogant and ungenerous to Doodle and only did things for himself.
And Simon is the one who discovers that it is only a parachute man instead of a “beastie.” But Simon would not be a good leader because he is a very small, weak boy. He is also rather shy, and to be a good leader they have to be social and loud. So in reality, neither Jack, Piggy, nor Simon would be good
at him, to which "Piggy wilted"(Golding 58). Piggy, who is a constant target throughout the length of the story, may feel powerless towards the rest of the boys. When he tries to assert leadership, he backs off timidly because he feels irrelevant. This position makes him an easy target. Through Kuther's definition of bullying, Piggy is classified as a hopeless
He has no understanding over the situation, and drinks just because he's thirsty. George quickly chastises him, explaining how the water could be "bad" and make Lennie "sick ". This shows that George cares for Lennie, as he is worried about him getting sick. As we've already seen, George tries to take care of Lennie. In their relationship, George is in control like a parent, while Lennie is just like a little kid.
George needs to blame somebody for his mediocre life; the truth of his mediocrity, however, lies in his enjoyment of alcohol and prostitutes, vices that prevent him from ever raising enough money to finance his dream of owning his own farm. George from Of Mice and Men, despite his shortcomings, acts admirably towards his helpless friend. • Lennie is big and dumb. His childlike innocence allows him to take an active role in George's dream of owning a farm. Lennie loves soft things and animals, which he accidentally kills because of his strength.
At first Mr. Duvitch has trouble being able to talk and connect with people because those around him wouldn’t talk to him and make rude remarks based on what he was wearing and because of where he worked. “ It followed that the Syringa Street young, meeting him on the street, sometimes stopped their noses as they passed him by—a form of torment all the more acute when Mr. Duvitch had to share it with the children that happened to be with him” (3). It took only one man for Mr.Duvitch to gain that freedom to become who he really was. Andy’s father gives him the opportunity to open up and I think that’s what Mr.Duvitch needed, “ As the host Mr. Duvitch was a man we were seeing for the first time. Overjoyed to have neighbors in his house, he was so full of himself that I was conscious of an invisible stature in him which made him seem quite as tall as Father” (14).
In the beginning this irritates him and he feels a bit beat. However soon after Ralph takes his side and openly defends him in front of Jack. Though Piggy does not have the looks ideal for the role of leader, he certainly has superior intelligence to all the other boys. Piggy is behind most of Ralph’s success. However if he has something to say, he rarely speaks out loud, instead he just mutters to himself or jack.
Simon calls it ‘the dirtiest thing we know’. He’s just batty- he spends too much time with Ralph and Piggy. I sometimes forget he’s even meant to be one of my hunters. But still, Ralph isn’t too bad anyways- this hunt is fun. Roger’s with us- I’m starting to like how he is.
The novel Lord of the Flies portrays an imbalance of power between characters, like Jack, Ralph, and Piggy. Throughout the novel, Jack and Ralph are constantly against Piggy because they believe they have a greater sense of authority. Piggy genuinely tries to help and give ideas but is always shut down because of the great imbalance of power between the boys. Jack additionally has no regard for Piggy's entitlement to speak and his tribe feels that anything Piggy says is humorous; they ponder "what amusing thing he may need to say.” Bullies most often tend to pick on the weaker children with poor self esteem or no way of defending themselves, thereby giving themselves more
Xaby interacts well with other children, but has a very hard time sharing. Whether it is his favorite cup, food, or his favorite toys, they are his and no one else can touch them. He is very egocentric and demands people to do things his way, and does not understand other’s point of
