        even though the spectacles helped the boys through their life on the island to make FIRE

      - fat and asthmatic
        
        PIggy is often criticised by the other boys for his unfit appearance and his unfit body
        
        EXAMPLE: "sucks to your ass-mar"

        Piggy does not get respected by the boys just because of how he looks and this shows how one's appearance is more important than his character among the boys in their point of view

      - "Bag of fat"-Roger
      - "Shut up fatty"-Jack

        This sense of abandonment and isolation that piggy is facing evokes a sense of sympathy in the readers.
        
        It is very relatable and one of the crucial points to the readers as no one prefers to be alone in society and wants to be accepted to be part as a whole.

        It gives us a form of imagery that Piggy is INTELLIGENT enough to survive and protect himself
        
        this leads to us not giving him as much sympathy or pity when we hear about his characteristics even before we read the novel when compared with Simon
    - - In reference to the bible , Simon was like Jesus.Jesus was only trying to help everyone , just like how simon wants to help and warn everyone that the beast is unreal and only a fragment in their mind. But Jesus was mistaken,framed,accused as a demon. Just like how Simon was wrongly accused , and beaten to death by MISTAKE ......
        
        Simon's death was very pitiful as he was killed by mistake. Also he was a symbolism of pureness and innocence. This is actually ironic as the boys killed someone who was trying to help. Hence, we would feel a sense of pity and sympathy as the boys killed someone who was GOOD and actually helpful. Moreover, Simon builds a good relationship with the readers by his angel-like characteristics. The boys treat him sort of like a "friend" and would symphatize with him if something bad was to go wrong, whereas to us readers, we would sympathize with Piggy due to the fact that we can relate to his plight of being left out, treated like an outcast, hence feeling bad for him.

        he dies as a result of being made the scapegoat of the boy's unshakable fear of the beast as the boys mistook him for the beast
        
        When Simon's body is carrried off by the tide, Golding shifts the focus from Simon's body's movements to the sun, moon and earth as Simon represented a knowledge as fundamental as its elements

        unable to convey his message in the end and hence the boys never found out who the beast truly was which resulted to them carrying out many actions like killing one another as a result of their constant fear
