Piggy doesn't ask for the names of the choirboys in "Lord of the Flies" because he is more focused on the practical aspects of their situation, such as organizing themselves and building shelters. Additionally, Piggy may not see the significance of knowing their names in the context of their survival on the island. He values order and structure, so he prioritizes tasks that contribute to their overall well-being rather than personal introductions.

In lord of the flies why are names so important to piggy?
well it shows that the boys have turned into complete savages and no longer care about civilization. therefore, they are struggling to survive (like Darwin's survival of the fittest) and are not worried about being saved anymore.
What is Ralph's attitude toward Piggy in the first chapter?
Initially Ralph viewed Piggy as an uninvited and unwanted intrusion on his pleasure at finding himself on a tropical island. Ralph walked off when Piggy was forced to asnwer a call of nature, he didn't wait for the fat boy. Ralph didn't ask Piggy what his name was, probably because he wasn't in the slightest bit interested. Ralph probably felt that he had nothing in common with a fat asthmatic boy who wore a greasy wind-breaker, dropped letters from his words and who didn't know how to swim. Gradually however Ralph's attitude to Piggy began to change. When Ralph found the conch in the lagoon it was Piggy who identified it and told him that it could be blown. Piggy also suggested calling the rest of the boys on the island. Over the course of the book Piggy was constantly on hand to remind Ralph, when he lost track of what he was saying probably due to Petit Mal epilsepsy. Piggy was the voice of reason who suggested lighting a signal fire on the beach when it seemed that the beast was preventing the boys from relighting the fire on the mountain. Slowly Ralph's attitude changed from indifference, through a period where he simply made use of Piggy's abilities, to companionship and finally to the realisation that Piggy had been his friend.
