Q. "The tears began to flow and sobs shook him. He gave himself up to them now for the first time on the island; great, shuddering spasms of grief that seemed to wrench his whole body. His voice rose under the black smoke before the burning wreckage of the island; and infected by that emotion, the other little boys began to shake and sob too. And in the middle of them, with filthy body, matted hair, and unwiped nose, [he] wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man's heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy." Who in this passage is the one weeping?
Piggy

Adults are in hiding and don't want to take care of them.
They are about to have an awesome vacation.
Everything's wild, and they will have to be on guard.
