Simon

        Unlike the other boys, Simon seems to be neutral. Most of the boys either follow Ralph or Jack, he is in between. He seems to like Piggy and is the most sensitive one toward the little'uns. He seems to be unable to say what he thinks clearly. He always mumble when he speak, as if afraid to speak.


      I think that Simon know what Jack is going to say because maybe he has known him for a long time. It also could be because he knows that all Jack talks about is hunting and killing pigs.

     Simon has evolved into a very discreet person. In the beginning, he was always around Jack, as he gets more adapt to the island he begins to wonder around. He also is starting to talk more, at the beginning he barely talked; now he starts to talk at the meetings.

     Simon's role into the story is being the logical one. Jack thinks like a savage, Ralph thinks like royalty but Simon is more logical. He is more down to earth. Unlike Jack, he remembers that they are rules. Like when he threw sand into the little'uns eyes, he felt bad for doing that. Overall, I think that Simon is used in the story to relate to the reader.
