John's father
old Lady
In the book "The Pigman" by Paul Zindel, John refers to his father as "The Zeigler."
Mr. Conlan wants John to focus on his studies, get good grades, and eventually attend college to pursue a professional career. He believes that this path will lead John to a successful and fulfilling future.
Paul Zindel juxtaposes the Conlan dinner scene with the Pigman's living room scene to highlight the stark contrast between the chaos of the Conlan family and the warmth of the Pigman's home. The Conlan dinner, marked by tension and disconnection, underscores the emotional neglect and dysfunction within the family. In contrast, the Pigman's living room represents a space of acceptance and genuine connection, emphasizing themes of loneliness and the longing for belonging. This comparison illustrates the impact of familial relationships on personal well-being and the search for meaningful connections.
