Not your average choir boy

Simon is a bit more of a mysterious character and "always about" says Jack. He is not trying to impress anyone unlike Jack. He relates a litttle bit to piggy, they are both overlooked. Simon always stays out of the arguements and tends to stay inbetween both sides.

Simon has stage fright, he is not able to speak to a large group of people like the others without feeling presure. He can't make it seem like he is just talking to one person. I don't understand that if Simon was in the chior he would have to sing in front of many people but now he can't even talk to them.

Simon may have known jack before they were evacuated, Simon and Jack were both in the chior but we do not know if they were friends or not. If they participated in the same activities together they should have known each other.

As we get further through the story we notice simon change in many ways. Now Simon has become used to the environment and is taking the outdoors better. Simon now sides with Ralph instead of Jack his previous leaders.

In this story Simon takes the role of a godly figure. He keeps the island in balance and I think in the end he will have to make a sacrifice.
