Help with The Lord of the Flies?

Question: Help with The Lord of the Flies!?

I have to do a packet for school and cant figure out how to answer these questions!. If you can help with some or all that would be great (=

1!. How do the other boys regard Simon!? Why!?
2!. With whom does Simon side!? Why!?
3!. Is Simon fearful!?
4!. What mystical vision does Simon have!?
5!. Allegorically, what does Simon represent!? What is the messege to the reader!?

Thanks so much! (=Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

1!. they regarded him as a sweet boy and a loner, also a weakling - because he didn't really communicate with them and would spend time alone in the forest

2!. He sided with Ralph because he knew how to get the boy's off the island, but before he could help anyone he was killed

3!. He is fearful because no one actually listens to him and they kill him ( I think!.!.)

4!. The mystical vision he had was i think when the lord of the flies first talks to him and he realizes that if he doesn't save the boys, they're doomed!.

5!. He represents God or Jesus Christ!. Because he tries to save everyone but instead is killed by mistake!.
and the lord of the flies basically represented the Devil!.

Let's see!.!.!. I read that book last year!.!.!. I know I had to answer a lot of these same questions, but I'm afraid I don't remember them well enough to answer you!.

However, with number 5, I'm almost definite that Simon represented God in some way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
