Who is Simon?


In Lord of the Flies there is this kid, Simon. Simon is different from all the other boys because he is much more mature than all of them.

He can't show how he feels because he wants to fit in with the whole group so if he does show his really dealing Jack and the other boys who fallow him will make fun of him and will say that he is queer. But, Simon is not queer he really just feels. Simon cares about them; the littleuns. See Simon can not say or express his thoughts because they will just say that that was a stupid comment and just make fun of him.

Simon knows what Jacks thoughts are because he has been around him for too long now that he has seen his expressions and ways he acts around things. Jack might think that he hides all of his feelings. But for Simon he can see beyond what has been shown on Jacks face and body.

To me Simon role in this story is to be Jesus. I think this because he shows his sacrifice, his meditation, and his passion for the other boys. Simon is there to guide the ones who are all lost in the madness of the island. He is there to help.

Simon has changed a little in this book. I mean I could all ready see that he was a really good kid, but he has changed in the way that he can speak his mind and talk out loud more about his feelings and his thoughts.
