Is there good in everyone?

Ralph, by nature, is an innocent, mild- tempered boy who accepts leadership when it is thrust on him.  He serves as a democratic leader who tries to keep the boys together on the island and uses a conch shell to mildly show his authority. He thinks of building shelters to protect them and a signal fire for their rescue. He befriends Piggy, the fat boy that receives taunts and teases from the other boys, and learns to rely on Piggy's intellectual reasoning.  


Simon is the quiet, shy boy in the group. Being a visionary, he often goes into the forest by himself to contemplate nature and life. He is the only one who helps Ralph build the huts and is also genuinely concerned for the well-being of the "littleuns". 


Piggy is the fat boy who is the brunt of all the jokes and teasing in the novel. He is physically weak and constantly complains about his asthma. He is also myopic and almost blind without his glasses.  But, Piggy is also rational and has an understanding about life. He constantly warns the boys about their behavior and foolish ways and becomes Ralph's true friend while serving as a sounding board and advisor to him.


All three seem to be "good" boys; however, is there a difference in their goodness? *40 words minimum.

Ralph vs Piggy

The first characters we met in chapter one of Lord of the Flies are Ralph and Piggy.  They appear to be foils, or opposites, of one another.  Ralph is handsome, athletic, somewhat reserved, and the son of a Royal Navy commander.  He is enchanted by the physical aspects of the island, perhaps a reflection of never having been to a beach before.  Piggy, on the other hand, is heavy, asmatic, wears glasses, and lives with his auntie.  He offers Ralph friendship, and is concerned with finding the others and with the details of how they will survive.  Ralph only tolerates Piggy's friendly overtures-and immediately betrays him by ignoring his plea to keep his nickname, Piggy, a secret from the others.

Your question is, would either or both be your friend?  Why?
