9. Write a STRONG PARAGRAPH about who is responsible for Piggy’s death and why.

I believe that Roger is responsible for Piggy’s death because he is the one that pushed the great rock off the cliff. Roger was delirious and didn’t know what he was doing but he did it and that’s all that matters. All Piggy wanted was his glasses back, he was trying to be civilized but Roger ended his life truculently. It was no accident because he put all of his weight into it and the rock fell down onto Piggy, who was holding the talisman trying to restore order. There was a cessation of talking as Piggy fell. He is responsible for murder in the first degree and should be punished. Jack didn’t kill Piggy, Roger did.
