In Chapter 11, Roger releases a huge boulder in Piggy's direction. After he was struck by the boulder his head opened and stuff gushed out and turned red. Piggy's arms and legs twitched a bit, like a pig after it had been killed.

Simon
In Chapter 9, Back at the beach another ritual dance has begun during the night. Simon comes to tell the boys that he has found out that the Beastie is just a dead parachutist. While doing so the boys think that Simon is the Beastie. So the boys descend upon Simon and start to brutally tear him apart. Simon desperately tries to explain the situation and tries to remind them who he is, but it is too late and the boys have already lost control. Thinking he is the Beastie, they kill Simon.

In Chapter 9, Simon is extremely sick, and is hallucinating that the pig head on a stake is talking to him. He also finds out that the "Beastie" is just a parachutist, he then goes to tell the boys that are at the ritual.
Piggy
Effect
After Piggy's death, Simon's death, and Sam and Eric's forced alliance with Jack's tribe, Ralph is left alone on the island. Ralph is doomed to defeat with no support or alliance. Another effect of Piggy's death is that it signifies a victory of violence and brutality over wisdom and kindness.
Effect
Simon
After Simon's death the boys realize that Simon was a Jesus-like character who represented the good in humanity. Simon's death signifies the death of goodness that was left on the island.
