Piggy

In the book Piggy is introduced very early on. He and Ralph find each other on the island and we find out that Piggy is obese in the beginning of the book. He also has asthma and wears glasses, which become very important pretty early in the book. The glasses are used to start the fires and are stolen later on by Jack and his boys. Piggy is very smart, which is shown when he speaks up with the idea of building the huts. He is easily bullied by the other boys, and Ralph and Simon are the only ones who are actually friendly towards him. He ends up not being rescued because he is killed by Roger when he drops a boulder onto Piggy and the conch shatters along with Piggy's body falling down into the water.
