Black Swan Green Maggot

      The author David Mitchell labels the chapter "Maggots", to describe and explain how Jason felt all throughout the chapter. He gets called a maggot when his peers attached some stick notes on calling him maggot, which caused an uproar of laughter from everyone else. He used the word maggot because it describes how low he thought of Jason.the theme of bullying fits in very well because throughout the chapter Jason is constantly ostracized by his peers. However, the Jason's stammer was eventually accepted by everyone and fit in.
