Well... things haven't been looking good for Piggy for a while. I mean, aside from the whole "dying" thing.
For one thing, his glasses got stolen. His distress is apparent on page 168: "I know. They didn't come for the conch. They came for something else. Ralph - what am I going to do?" His glasses were, really, the only thing that made him useful, in a practical sense. Also, he comes across as being kind of a jerk after Simon dies, on page 157: "...he hadn't no business crawling like that out of the dark. He was batty. He asked for it." I know he was trying to make Ralph feel better, but... jeez.
Then, there's the "falling-off-a-cliff" thing. It happens on page 181: "The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee... Piggy fell forty feet and landed on his back across the square red rock in the sea. His head opened and stuff came out and turned red." He was basically thrown off a small mountain, with his brain matter oozing everywhere as he lay in a crumpled heap on the edge of the ocean. It's a pretty gruesome death if you ask me.
Your wallpaper is so distracting. Also great tone, made me chuckle multiple times, and keep it up.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Terrel, what up with the background yo? You sound pretty unenthusiastic about the death of Piggy from the way you describe how he dies. It's told in a nice tone but just a little too nice you know? Either way, yea, that part when they are trying to make Ralph feel better was just a little too degrading.
