Some interpretations of Simon say that he is a representation of Christ. Why might literary critics come to this conclusion?

# data[].attributes.body
The lord of the flies represents the personality of all the boys on the island. But it mainly represents bad/evil side in all the boys coming out, that they become the monster/beasts.

# data[].attributes.body
Because he is the savior of the book, Im not completely sure what it could mean.

# data[].attributes.body
Question 3 i think that becasue he is the only one willing to face satan and jesus

# data[].attributes.body
because he acts like a mediator within the group.

# data[].attributes.body
Literary critics may think this because of the qualities Simon has and the things he symbolizes. Simon represents compassion, understanding, and loyalty, and neutrality, which are all things all things that Jesus symbolizes as well.

Simon was very peaceful throughout the book and he helped take care of everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
In the bible, the night before Jesus got crucified he went to the Garden of Gethsemane and he was very thirsty. So, Simon going to see the lord of the flies could be seen as the night before and Christ was killed for human sins so simon could be seen as being killed for the kids sins

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe because he sort of acts like the peace keeper in a way. He hasn't done anything to destroy the culture of the island but has encouraged people to keep "Improving".

# data[].attributes.body
Simon, like Jesus, is always calm and helpful throughout the entire book. Even Ralph and Jack had a conversation about how one of the only boys helping was Simon. In many ways, Jesus was portrayed as useful and calm in high stress situations. Just as Simon did during his time on the island.

What does the "Lord of the Flies" represent?

# data[].attributes.body
The lord of the flies represent the devil. He represents evil, and he also represents the evil part of human nature, the part of man that comes out in desperate times. He represents evil and Satan.

# data[].attributes.body
It represents the savagery of the boys and how they are the true beast, and the lord of the flies is like  a medium.

# data[].attributes.body
The Lord of the Flies represents Simon's and the boys fear and hidden barbaric tendencies. It shows the part of the boys' human nature that is hidden and evil.

# data[].attributes.body
The lord of the flies represents everyone on the island has some evil in them

# data[].attributes.body
the lord of the flies represent the inner evil and savegery in all of the boys

# data[].attributes.body
I think the Lord of the Flies represents Simon's fear of the beast  and/or fear of being stranded on an island. His fear has taken on a form in an inanimate object.

# data[].attributes.body
the lord of the flies represents "the beast", which represents the primal nature of the children.

What does Simon mean when he says to Ralph "You will get back alright?"

# data[].attributes.body
I think Simon means to say that he knows that Ralph will be one of the ones who survive even though he didn't kill the boar.

# data[].attributes.body
the reason is because when christ was in the desert for 40 days he was always being temppted by the devil, to prove who jesus really is, the devil appares to him over and over, and jesus had to comfront him multiple times.

# data[].attributes.body
he means that ralph is one of the good ones and he believes that he can survive this even though some of the other boys cant.he thins ralph can survive his inner beast but the other boys will become too savage and not be able to control there inner beast. i think this is foreshadowing to simons death.

# data[].attributes.body
he is trying to comfort ralph and possibly give him a false hope for survival because he understands the dire situation they are in.

# data[].attributes.body
question 1: i believe that Simon thinks Ralph has enough rational thought to make it off the island and says that to try and reassure him that he will make it out

question 2: the Lord of the Flies represents the savagery and cruelty that the boys have resorted too. they stuck a pig head on a stick as a sacrifice and the flies overtake it to have it become a mangled bloody thing, which is what the boys have become. a bloody mangled shred of their original personality and character

question 3: i think this may be because if the Lord of the Flies represents Satan then Simon was the one talking to the Lord of the Flies, and Simon is resisting the Lord's temptations when they speak

# data[].attributes.body
Simon means that he believes that Ralph will make his way back home. By saying this, Simon is showing his belief in the fact that they will be saved, and showing his belief in Ralph. It also may indicate that there may be kids who survive.

# data[].attributes.headline
Louis - Simon believes that will be able to make his way through this because he is strong enough to fight through since jack had been acting like he wanted to take over so he could fight his way out.

This quote shows how Simon could look up to or idolize Ralph as the leader. I think that this quote shows how he believes in Ralph and his leadership skills within the group of boys. All in all, Simon foreshadows that there will be people who are okay and how Ralph could end up okay.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it is foreshadowing that Simon wont survive and Ralph will. or something like that. Simon also is reassuring Ralph that everything will be okay.

# data[].attributes.body
1. He thought that something bad was going to  happen.
2. It is all the bad things that humans do all but in one character. It is the bad in all the boys and the primitiveness of humans.
3. He is the only one that is good in the book and he confronts the bad and is trying to find out why people are bad.
