Simon

Simon was one of the boys in the Choir.

Simon had long black hair and he was about 9 years old.

The first time you hear about Simon is when he faints shortly after arriving to the island. Jack tells Ralph not to worry because Simon faints often.

Simon has a special connection with nature and the island. He has a special place in the forest where he goes to relax and get away from the group. At one point, he comes across the Lord of the Flies. Simon imagines the Lord of the Flies speaking to him and telling him that the beast the group is so afraid of is actually merely in them.

Simon is the only one to discover what the Beast really is. He travels up the mountain to discover that the beast is really only a corpse of a parachutist who had fallen from a military aircraft that had been attacked. When he goes to tell the rest of the group what he discovers, he is mistaken for the beast then attacked and killed.
