What does piggy attempt to call the groups attention to in lord of the flies?

Answer 1

At different points in the book Piggy attempts to attract the other boys' attentions to a number of issues. Perhaps one of the important ones is that when the fire gets out of control on the mountain. Piggy wants them to realise that the boy with the mulberry coloured birthmark has gone missing.

Answer 2

After the fire has gotten out of control on top of the mountain Piggy trys to draw the attention of the other boys to the additional fires which have sprung up further down the mountain from flying sparks. Later he draws their attention to the fact that the little'un with the mulberry coloured birthmark is not to be seen.

Answer 3

Probably because Piggy had spoken to the boy at the meeting, trying to find out what the boy mean't by taking about a "beastie." This interaction with the boy and also because the boy had a memorable mulberry coloured birthmark on his face meant that Piggy quickly noticed his absence when the fire went out of control.

Answer 4

The speech which Piggy makes to Jack's tribe when he is standing on the causeway leading to Castle Rock shows just how little he relates to or understands the other boys. All through the book the other boys have viewed and treated Piggy as an outsider who doesn't fit in, who talks different and acts different. Now Piggy proves how right they were. He talks to them as if he were a school master scolding a group of badly behaved pupils. He appeals to their civilised upbringing forgetting that they have wilfully thrown if off in favour of the very savagery which Piggy dismisses. Instead of persuading the boys to rejoin Ralph he simply serves to further alienate himself, and by association includes Ralph in that alienation, from his audience.

Answer 5

At the end of chapter two: Fire on the Mountain Piggy first tries to draw the attention of the other boys to the fact that sparks from their huge signal fire have set light to a pocket of jungle further down the mountain. Minutes later Piggy suddenly realised that the littlun who told the boys about the snake-thing is no where to be seen and he brought this to the attention of the other boys. The littlun with the mulberry coloured birth mark on his face was never seen again.

Answer 6

There is a general air of conflict between Piggy and the rest of the boys over the entire course of the book as most of the boys see Piggy as an outsider who doesn't fit in.

Answer 7

He tells them that they need to leave the abandoned island and they need to not argue haha jk that's not true
