Piggy stood outside the triangle formed by the logs as a sign of disapproval, indicating that although he was listening to the meeting he did not intend to speak.
Piggy is Ralph's best ally but he does not stand up for Piggy.
After Jack leaves to go to Castle Rock, Piggy becomes more confident with himself, and starts to stand up for himself. This happens because Jack stole Piggy's glasses, and now he can no longer hide behind his disability of not being able to see.
At the end of chapter 5: Beast From water Piggy tells Ralph that Jack..."He hates me. I dunno why." A little later he adds... "I tell you what. he hates you too, Ralph---." Piggy suggests that Jack hates Ralph because.. "You got him over the fire; an' you're chief and he isn't." he also thinks that Jack hates him because, "He can't hurt you: but if you stand out of the way he'd hurt the next thing. And that's me."
He makes a stand against Jack and the choir boys because they had not acted upon their responsibility of keeping the fire going.
Jack's attack on Piggy and the breaking of one of the lenses in his spectacles symbolize the degeneration of the group because at one time the group was whole and all together and then they started to break away from the big group just like Piggy's glasses once were one full piece of glass and then they got broken apart.
