There were many things to take note of about
Piggy in chapter one. He is clearly the weakling. He is out of shape and has
medical conditions (asthma) that would prevent him from things like running our
being too active. “’My auntie told me not to run’, he explained, ‘on account of
my asthma.’” (Golding 7). Him being overweight also contributes to this. This
is a really bad physical condition to be in while stranded on an island trying
to survive. Piggy is also mentally weaker. He tells ralph that he was bullied
in school and that his parents have died. This makes him mentally weaker and
more sensitive. My prediction is that Piggy won’t survive, or at least won't survive as long as some of the other boys.
