Piggy likely pretended that the idea to call with the shell was Ralph's because he wanted to avoid confrontation or conflict with the other boys. By giving credit to Ralph, Piggy may have hoped to maintain a sense of harmony within the group and avoid being singled out or further marginalized. Additionally, Piggy may have recognized that Ralph's leadership position made his ideas more likely to be accepted by the group.

What is clip earrings?

Clip earrings are for those who do not have pierced ears. Instead of placing a backing through the hole, there is a bracket on the earring that connects the front and back and it, literally, clips into place. Pretend a clam shell was the earring. The top shell would be in the front, your ear lobe would be in the center and the bottom of the shell would be in the back holding it from falling off. Hope this was helpful...

What do Ralph and Piggy find in the lagoon in Lord of the Flies?

Ralph spots a large shell and leverss it out of the lagoon by using a small sappling. Piggy correctly identifies it as a conch shell and tells Ralph that he knew a boy who had one on his garden wall, "It was ever so valuable and he could blow it and make a noise." Ralph, following Piggy's instructions, manages to blow the conch and upon hearing it several more boys appear from the jungle.


What does Piggy believe can still bring all the boys together in Lord of the Flies chapter 11?

Piggy seemed to think that the presence of the conch would help to restore common sense and order to the boys who had become part of Jack's tribe. He hoped that by reminding the boys of the sensible course which Ralph had tried to adopt he might persuade them to give up their 'savage' ways. Unfortunately Piggy's manner of speaking simply infuriated the boys, who objected to being spoken to as if they were naughty schoolboys being chastised by an elderly fat school teacher.
