The author introduces Piggy with dialogue to begin with before anything else. The first thing you find out about piggy is what he says, and what language the author uses for him. " 'Hi!' It said. 'Wait a minute' ". It's interesting that the author uses it instead of he. One of the reasons for this is because later on in the book the boys don't see Piggy as a person they just see him as a burden that they have to put up with. The boys don't really consider Piggy's feelings or what they say to him.
the first page didn't have any color description until the author described the bird. He said, "When a bird, a vision of red and yellow, flashed upwards". The bird is described like a fire. Fire's are red and yellow and go upwards. This is foreshadowing for the fire at the end of the book, but also how important fire is in the book. The boys depend on fire to survive. They built a fire so they could be seen and they depended on that and kept it going all the time. Also the fire when Simon get's killed the bird is foreshadowing towards that.
