Evaluate Of Books The Pigman (The Pigman #1)

I just re-read this for the first time as an adult and was surprised to discover how little there really is to this book. It's hardly a novel, even, it's so light on story. Also, I don't remember the writing being so...after school special. The teenage narrators exclaim things like, "Dad, why can't you see that I want to be an individual!" "I don't want to be a business man, I just want to be ME." Ouch. But then, Zindel was writing in the seventies, and the book jacket is covered in critical

This is the story of two latchkey kids befriending an elderly neighbor. No one gets touched in a bad way, but their friendship gives them that warm tingling sensation. I hated every damn word of it.

The book the pigman is written by the author Paul Zindel, its about three people who form a friendship that they would never forget. John, Lorraine and Mr. Angelo pignati also known as the pigman, the book is a very interesting read like how the chapters are shared between john and Lorraine which makes it exciting to see the next one, to see their point of view. There are a lot of different emotions through out the book there is a lot of sadness in some of the charters which keeps you intrigued

(2.5)For the most part this was an enjoyable story, but the main characters irritated me to no end. I felt the story lacked plot and that there really wasn't any character development throughout the story. It didn't feel like the characters changed in anyway, even though they met somebody who supposedly impacted them and they go through something that should have an affect on them in some way. Also the ending was abrupt and too quick for my liking.

My 8th grade English teacher read this to us, and she was much, much cooler than I realized at the time. She was identifying with teenage angst that we didn't even know we had yet. Well, at least I didn't. I was still passing notes and crushing on cute boys and doing what my teachers and parents told me to. I didn't feel oppressed. (That came later!) But, even if it didn't "speak to me", I remembered enough of the story that I wanted to read it again. So, so glad I did! Poor John and Lorraine!

In Paul Zindel's novel The Pigman, two high school students try to play a trick on an older man, but quickly become his friends. They often make poor decisions and have to learn about life the hard way. This book is frustrating for readers because we know they should or should not do some things, but it is also entertaining and relatable. This book was written in the 1960's, so talking with younger readers about the poor choices made within the novel require us to use a historical perspective

THE PIGMANBY PAUL ZINDLEDeath is all around us. Everyone will die one day some are lucky and come back to life but for others like one of the main characters in the story its not their lucky day. The Pigman by Paul Zindle I think is a great read and a book that should be shared with others. Death is one of the main themes in the story and right from the start not even reading the first chapter you know the pigman is going to die. The Pigman (AKA Mr Pignati) is a old lonely man that lives by him
