What brings Ralph into closer sympathy with Piggy?

Answer 1

In Chapter 5, Ralph says that Piggy can think things through, and how he has all his ideas lined up in his head. Hear is an excerpt:

Once more that evening Ralph had to adjust his values. Piggy could think. He could go step by step inside that fat head of his, only Piggy was no chief. But Piggy, for all his ludicrous body, had brains.

This shows that Piggy would be heard more if people could see past his weight.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Piggy is logical and has an adult attitude towards the problems which the boys face, it is also popularly believed that he is intelligent. Nevertheless I doubt intensely if the charismatic, attractive, tall, healthy, athletic Ralph would wish for any of Piggy's 'advantages.' Ralph is also pretty down to earth and sensible the only problem he seems to have is a tendency to lose track of what he is saying, which may be a a form of petit mal epilepsy.

Answer 3

The book of course, is open to interpretation from all.

As you have forwarded a question, I wish to answer it the best I can.

He was envious of the way Piggy was constantly reassured of his high intellect and impeccable thinking process. At that point in time, he must have realized that 'leading' required more than just charisma, good looks and the proper moral alignment.

Answer 4

I am not sure what you mean by this question.
