"He was the only boy on the island whose hair never seemed to grow" (64)
The boys have stuck on this trapped island for a long time time now. Golding points out that while all the other boy's appearances are changing, Piggy is still looking the same. Piggy is considered the outcast in this novel, but he keeps reminding the others to act more civilized as they remain on this island. All the boys looks are changing, their hair is long, scraggly, and sloppy. He is the only boy on this island whose hair isn't growing, in other words it still looks somewhat neat. It states that even the grass has grown even in the places where no one has walked on. This symbolizes that Piggy is unique and different from the group of boys. Piggy has a mind of his own and acts very proper throughout the novel. While the boys are becoming savages, Piggy stays on track and sticks to his true self.
