While he is probably the smartest boy on the island, he lacks any social skills, and has trouble communicating or fitting in with the others. Only one who seems to understand him is Ralph. His glasses are a very important on the island, because they are used over and over to start fires.
Simon:
Simon is younger than the three boys above, but older than other littluns. He is very good and pure, and has the most positive outlook. He insist multiple times that they will get rescued, even when Ralph is strongly doubting the possibility. Simon often travels into his tranquil spot in the jungle, but also tries to help out when it is needed. He meets up with a pig's head skewered on a stick, which becomes known as the Lord of the Flies. Simon is killed soon afterward by all of the other boys who were caught up in a savage dance.

11. The way the story is told: third person narration
12. Types of language used:
dialogues of boys: everyday language & slang

13. Notes on the use of symbols:
Piggy (and glasses) - clear-sightedness, intelligence. Their state represents the status of social order.
Ralph, The Conch - democracy, order
Simon - pure goodness
Roger - evil, regression
Jack - savagery, anarchy
The Island - a microcosm representing the world
The Beast - the evil residing within everyone, the dark side of human nature.
Lord of the Flies - the devil, great danger or evil

14. Review:
I liked this book very much, and I think it is very edifying. I would qualify it like handbook for any leader of any social group. It is clear example, what direction can take shaping of isolated society. It doesn’t matter whether it is on island or elsewhere, whether they are kids or adults. The island is just a symbol of some microcosm, some isolated society, and story is set to the enviroment of children – boys, which have different, more interestnig mentality. I could be interresting to see how would this society develop when there were some grils too. I chose this book, because I once saw the movie that impressed me a lot. However, I think the book was a greater experience.

15. Story-line:
Piggy and Ralph meet up with each other after escaping from their shot-down plane. A large scar was made in the untouched jungle. Piggy spots a conch shell, and tells Ralph how to use it to make a noise. Ralph does so, and calls all of the other boys on the island who crashed down with the plane. Jack and his Choir, Simon, Sam and Eric, and many other characters join in an assembly (including the littl'uns, which are the youngest kids at about 6 or 7 years old).
