Well, honey, the author, William Golding, had Roger stick a spear up that poor pig's butt to symbolize the boys' descent into savagery and the loss of civilization. It's a brutal way of showing how power and violence can corrupt even the most innocent minds. So, next time you see a pig, maybe give it a little extra respect, yeah?

What is the stick associated with in Lord of the Flies?

I'm assuming you mean the double-sided spear? The double sided spear symbolizes good and eveil, one side of the stick being Ralph, the other being Jack. Also, when Samneric first tell Ralph about the double sided spear, its kind of a revelation for him. When Jack's tribe killed the sow, they used a double sided spear, one to stick in the ground, one to stick the pigs head on top. When Samneric tell Ralph that Roger has a two sided spear, it is a realization that the boys in Jack's tribe are going to do to him what was done to the sow.
