This occurs because of the negative energy from the worlds that have been abandoned and Digory’s mom being the main conflict with her sickness. But the sickness of Mrs. Kirke makes their family stronger and grow closer together. This happens because Digory and Uncle Andrew did not use to be as close before as they were after the adventure to Narnia, and the only reason they had an adventure in Narnia was to get the magical apple back to their world to heal his mother. These series of events to get to and from Narnia caused the characters to never take for granted what they have, and if they get the chance to fix something, then take the chance to fix

First of all, the Third Little Pig is so admirable is because he is very hard working. As the text states, “Please, Man, give me those bricks to build a house with.” This quote proves that the little pig is hard working because building a house with bricks, from the ground up, requires a lot of manual labor. He could have just built his house out of materials that were easier to manipulate, but would create a weaker structure, like hay or straw, but he went the extra mile to create a sturdy house out of solid bricks. While the

“He wiped his glasses and adjusted them on his button nose. The frame had made a deep, pink V on the bridge.” Whenever, Piggy is talked about, there is always a description of the pig. “Button nose” refers to the button like nose, he and a pig share. The boys cannot look beyond his appearance demonstrating the idea that the boys do not accept him as a human being and shows his lack of identity and worth as well as the fact it is an animal that is hunted and killed on the island; a parallel to Piggy's fate. Pigs are slaughtered and eaten because they are inferior to us. They are inferior as they aren’t nice to look at and no one wants them. According to these points, Piggy cannot yet be classified as a hero as he hasn’t demonstrated any noble qualities but is just seen as a social outcast, almost a caricature of a school nerd. His attitude and disabilities often limit him to achieve his true

In Piggy's introduction, he is as a character no one takes seriously, ¨...better than fatty.” The audience knows him as a joke despite his ideas and willingness to help the group. The things his ¨auntie” told him are no use on the island where there is no higher authority.

Alice: Well, I’ve never seen anything like that before! Curiouser and curiouser! To think that a perfectly normal boy could turn into a pig seems quite incredible and indeed, mad! But actually, it probably was all the better for that poor boy. I mean, for one, it was able to escape from that horrible hag of a mother. But also, if it had grown up, he would have made a dreadfully ugly child: but it makes rather a handsome pig I think. (Chuckles softly to herself) Oh, I say, how funny it would be if one of the boys at school became a pig! Charlie Williams or Clive Lewis! I’d love to see something like that! They are such beastly boys, always calling me names like “Awful Alice” and pulling my hair until I can barely feel it. I wonder how one does turn into a pig…
By using symbolism to develop the story, Golding shows his readers that the island is a place of evil and changes the boys from civil to savage. The end of Golding’s story shows the order and organization on the island dying along with Piggy and Simon, causing chaos and destruction to Ralph and the others. Even after many years, Golding’s book still holds the same message, the human nature is the same in everyone and chaos and destruction can be caused by this human nature even in the most peaceful
