Read the excerpt from Lord of the Flies. How has the novel's island setting changed Piggy?
"That was murder."
O
The isolation has affected his sense of right and
wrong
"You stop itl" said Piggy, shrilly. "What good're you doing talking
like that?"
O
The lush surroundings have affected his desire to be
rescued
He jumped to his feet and stood over Ralph.
"It was dark. There was that—that bloody dance. There was
lightning and thunder and rain. We was scared!"
The abundance of food has made him reluctant to
work toward worthwhile goals.
"I wasn't scared," said Ralph slowly, "I was- I don't know what I
was."
o
The climate has affected his sense of what is needed
to survive
"We was scared!" said Piggy excitedly. "Anything might have
happened. It wasn't—what you said."
