Piggy lost his temper.
"I got the conch! Just you listen! The first thing we ought to have made was shelters down there by the beach. It wasn't half cold down there in the night. But the first time Ralph says "fire" you goes howling and screaming up this here mountain. Like a pack of kids!"
-----p45
From this passage, we can see Piggy's scientific and intellectual aspects of civilization. He has good logical and intelligent.Although Piggy has a great deal to offer the boys' fledgling civilization, they see him as a whiny weakling and therefore despise him and refuse to listen to him, even when his ideas are good. But at last, they still have to do what Piggy suggested before ,like light a signal fire, and they also begin to make huts in chapter3. That are things which Piggy suggested at the beginning, but the boys all ignore him. Only when Ralph , Jack or someone else mentions, they begin to think about it and do it.
