While reading “The Lord of the Flies” by William Golding, I paid most of my attention to Simon. Simon is viewed as a much more confusing kid in the beginning. Simon starts getting more involved and not really known as the weird gay kid anymore. He had hung around with Ralph and Piggy helping out them while the others didn’t care.

Which shows that Simon has bravery. Finally, Simon suddenly gets the nerve to grab the conch and say that the group should go climb the mountain to find the “beast”. Later, Simon begins to hallucinate, he starts talking to the sow's head. The head was telling him things and how it's “The Lord of the Flies” but also that the end of him is
