Answer:

1. Quoted by Piggy, “Look, I’m goin’ to say, you’re stronger than I am and you haven’t got asthma. You can see, I’m goin’ to say, and with both eyes. But I don’t ask for my glasses back, not as a favor. I don’t ask you to be a sport, I’ll say, not because you’re strong, but because what’s right’s right. Give me my glasses, I’m going to say—you got to!”

2. In order to get his glasses back, Piggy asks Jack to return them. In spite of the fact that Piggy lacks physical strength, he demonstrates intellectual strength and symbolizes logic and reason. On the basis of what is right and proper, Piggy makes an argument for his glasses' return, using his intellect. The fact that Jack ignores Piggy's plea and kills him shows that savagery has prevailed over civilization, at least on the boys' island.
