“You’ve got some great toys there” and “But it might be more fun… if we both played together” • music in language: This is a lovely rhyming book with lovely rhythm in it’s words. The first part of the book starts off quite fast paced with short words and sentences. When Pig loses his temper the words are capitalized, bolded and marked with exclamation points to bring emphasis to their shortness. The pivotal point in the story where Pig falls out the window marks a change in the tempo of the book. It slows and almost feels calm and quite pleasant. A real contrast to the first part of the story, it still has rhyme and rhythm, however the sentences lengthen out with softer language being used. • understatement : The majority of this book is rather overstatement than under. Usually this is from Pig whilst he is proving his character matches his name. The line “yes, Pig shares his toys now,” is the only understatement clearly identifiable. Pig doesn’t have much say about sharing his toys as he is too broken and bandaged up to stop Trevor from

There is a lot of symbolism in the Pigman writing by Paul Zindel. The three monks symbolism means Lorraine, John, and Mr. Pignati friendship. One example of the friendship of Lorraine, John and Mr.pignati is when he has a heart attack Lorraine and John skips school to go see him. The three monkeys symbolism you can find it in the Pigman. My conclusion is that the three monkey symbolism is in the Pigman.
Piggy was a moral person and an uncorrupted person for his time on the island. he was moral because he believed in guidelines and weighed each decision he made with what the rest of society would say. He was moral because of this and never would he stray from what was moral or good in society so he would be mostly correct. Piggy had very strong ideas. when everyone else was starting out on the island, the rest of the worlds rules were with them. everyone slowly was drawn away from
Piggy is lower class. Later on in the book it shows that Piggy is
The first verbal exchange of this novel only requires 17 words of Cole. The first twelve words tell us a great deal considering the limited number of words used:
throughout the novel allows the audience to gain a better understanding and personal compassion for both the character and the author. 	The novel is written in a short, choppy sentence structure using simple word choice, or diction, in a stream of consciousness to enable the reader to perceive the novel in the rationale of an eleven-year-old girl. One short, simple sentence is followed by another, relating each in an easy flow of thoughts. Gibbons allows this stream of thoughts to again emphasize the childish perception of life’s greatest tragedies. For example, Gibbons uses the simple diction and stream of consciousness as Ellen searches herself for the true person she is.
In Golding’s book, Lord of the Flies, Piggy learns to stand up for himself and have more self-confidence which is a positive change. Piggy is shy and weary of his actions in the beginning but as the story progresses the troubles and responsibilities of being stranded on the island causes his self-confidence and self-esteem to grow.
His name is John Conlan. John is a guy that is always causing conflicts. In fact, I think he is that way because he doesn’t get along with his father. For example, the contributors for BookRags explains ¨ Both John and Lorraine have poor relationships with their parents, who regard them as disturbing burdens…” (http://www.bookrags.com/studyguide-pigman/themes.html#gsc.tab=0 ) Further, after John’s long day with his dad, he decides to go buy some alcohol and hang out with his friends.

...don’t call me what they used to call me in school”(6). However, the boys totally discard Piggy’s one wish by calling him by the hurtful nickname “Piggy” throughout the entire book. This goes to show that they don’t see Piggy as enough of a human, to give him the basic respect of learning his name. Therefore, the three boys that stay true to themselves are abused.

In the stage being the first stanza of the poem Child and Insect the reader meets a little boy who is excited and euphoric because he has managed to catch a grasshopper. The rhythm of the poem is very fast and lively. An evidence for that is the onomatopoeia “clockwork fizz” which describes the insect’s movements as sudden and quick, comparing its legs to the hands of a clock too. It also illustrates its desperate attempts to escape the small palm of the boy described by the opening line of the first stanza “He cannot hold his hand huge enough.” Furthermore, not only the grasshopper’s movements are swift but the boy’s motions as well, shown by the run on line “He races back, how quick he is, look”. This line further emphasizes the rhythm of the poem and the energetic mood it creates. The run on line could also be interpreted as a representation of the child’s speech which is cut and uneven because of his cheerfulness and need for a breath. Moreover, the word choices of the author particularly words such as “snatched”, “quick”, “look”, “sudden” help to reinf...
...People respond to the three pigs because either they have been in the pigs’ position, or they are ready to learn from the pigs’ experience. Everyone faces his own personal “wolf” that bares its teeth and threatens to blow away his foundation, but “The Three Little Pigs” offers hard work and determination as a solution to any problem that seems insurmountable. Proper preparation prevents poor performance regardless of the situation, and the three pigs show that sometimes, a poor performance might be the last one.
