First, I think it's interesting how William Golding doesn't describe any thing about Piggy, all you know is that he is just a voice out in the jungle. Before he is described or even named the author has him talking which could also be foreshadowing the fact that through out the book he is always talking. Also I think that when he is talking and Ralph never seems intersted, that is foreshadowing because eventhough Piggy talks alot through out the book no one really pays attention to what he has to say they just disregaurd it as if what he has to say is not intelligent.
Second (kind of ties in with the first one) when it says "searching out safe lodgments for his feet" you get the hint that William Golding is trying to make. That Piggy is intelligent and careful. He let the reader know this before his physical appearance, which is opposite from Ralph. He could have done this to show that they are different, and that he looked different from all the other boys which could be why some of them didnt want to listen to him. This created a conflict for the boys especially when Ralph stands up for him and agrees with him. Which leades to the split between the group and created two tribes.
