Bcause he is the good and the one resisting the deseire to come to greed and evil and he tries to show the others the way.

# data[].attributes.body
Since the began of Simon's intro into the story, he's shown compassion towards everyone of the boys with out judgment or complain. Because he's seems quite most of the time, it seems like he had a curtain god like aspect of him likes hes watching over the boys, any staying san.

# data[].attributes.body
Some interpretations of Simon say that is the representation of Christ/God. Why might literary critics come to that conclusion?

# data[].attributes.body
I think critics might think this because Simon is a peaceful and good person. He is also very caring and thinks about others.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that literary critics come to this conclusion because Simon always shows up in times of need and stays good throughout the whole book. He cant be corrupted by savagery like the rest of the boys and is always lurking just behind the scenes to help the others.

# data[].attributes.body
Because they see something that the lord does not have any piyical form . so they conclued that it is a god.

# data[].attributes.body
they might think this because of how he is pure he is because he helped others whenever he could and always does the right thing even though others didn't like what he does and when overwhelmed instead of letting all is anger out he goes to a happy place the can just wash away his bad feelings.

# data[].attributes.body
because he is keeping everything in order and helping ralph stay calm and keep everyone under control

# data[].attributes.body
He constantly goes off on his own to meditate. He is always sane, and follows the correct path. He holds on to his humanity.

# data[].attributes.body
Simon is always showing compassion towards the other boys through giving piggy some of the meat of trying to comfort ralph. Even though he isn't the literal leader, he does help lead them in the way of goodness. And the way that he was killed is very similar to the way that Jesus was in the way that he was killed by those who claimed they were people of god(Jack and his tribe saying that they are doing the right thing even when they aren't) and his friends(ralph being in the circle)

# data[].attributes.body
Simon represents the good out of all the boys.Simon knows how to keep calm

# data[].attributes.body
I think they might come to this conclusion because Simon has had many instances throughout he book where he helps someone out of the kindness of his heart and is nice throughout the whole book.

# data[].attributes.body
The Lord of the Flies represents the devil, and the evil desires within the boys. Simon never succumbed to those evil desires, and worked to keep the boys from indulging in theirs. Simon's encounter with the Lord of the Flies in the woods was a lot like Jesus' encounter with Satan in the desert. Simon also dies as a result of the other boys' savagery and betrayal, and Jesus died because because one of his followers betrayed him. Simon also gives meat to the littluns and Piggy and Jesus gave food to the hungry.

# data[].attributes.body
because in the bible, during the 40 days Jesus fasted, he was tempted by the fallen angel, Lucifer. during simons talk with the lord of the flies, The LOTF tempted simon to either become a savage/evil or go back and get killed, which is what simon ends up doing which is not unlike how Lucifer tempted Jesus

# data[].attributes.body
Simon is always doing good things, and things for the benefit of the group.

# data[].attributes.body
Simon is the one person who is always thinking of others, trying to help them out, and he never wants to be a part of any fights or arguments.

# data[].attributes.body
The critics may come to this conclusion because Simon was like the one guy who was in order with his thoughts, he remained calm, he cared for others like the Littil'uns and Piggy when the others didn't. Simon was the one boy without inherent evil. Roger for example, when he was throwing a rock, he found out that he didn't have consequences to his actions. With Simon it was really different, he fought to be a good person.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this is because he always was in the background, like god not always at the forefront of change and good but always wanting that to be the path that people take.

What or who does the "Lord of the Flies" represent?

I believe that the lord of the flies represents an outside force that is present on the island and I think that it represents the thoughts going through everyone's minds.

# data[].attributes.body
i think the lord of the flies represents the beast but also it represents the thoughts and disrepair that they wont escape the island.

# data[].attributes.body
The Lord of the Flies represents fear and paranoia. It could also represent how the boys went out of control and how they may not leave the island.

# data[].attributes.body
The Lord of the flies represents the instinct that is in all of the boys, to turn into savages without a structured leadership system.

# data[].attributes.body
The lord of the flies represents represents the fear of the boys on the island and how fear makes the boys do crazy things and turn into savages and turn away from the good side of humanity

# data[].attributes.body
The Lord of The Flies represents the anguish and paranoia inside the boys, and the notion that they might not make it out.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the Lord of the Flies represents the fear and the emotions that the boys are feeling. The rot and decay that it is made of expresses the nature of all for the boys. In the end, everyone was in it for themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the Lord of the Flies represent the up coming death or danger the boys are facing or have faced. As the Lord of the Flies what speaking to Simon, he was in form of the pigs head who might have represented death and flies around it and Simon although he wasn't dead, it might have been foreshadowing that he soon would be.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the "Lord of the Flies" is an allegory for fear and what fear can make you do. This kind of fear is also made into a reality with the boys. The "Lord of the Flies" is not a separate character, he's all of the boys, the corruption that they face. I know this because Simon realizes after confronting the  "Lord of the Flies" that it isn't real, ironically, he get's murdered after that because the boys were scared that Simon was the beast.

# data[].attributes.body
the lord of the flies is kind of a

I think the Lord of the Flies represents evil and the fear among the boys.

# data[].attributes.body
The Lord of the Flies represents the downfall of civilization and control on the island because it was created after the group split apart and was Jacks way to bargain with the "beast" coming for them. It is also what speaks to Simon right before he dies and since Simon was the representation of all good and order and how things should be, It could also show the end of that as well.

# data[].attributes.body
The lord of the flies represents the beast in all the boys.

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

# data[].attributes.body
I think that he is trying to give reassurance to Ralph and tell him that he is okay, he is here and now and he will get through this intact and come out alive.

# data[].attributes.body
I think he means that because ralph is the true leader of the group and is very strong in many ways, that he will be able to survive the island and whatever happens on it. It also might be foreshadowing to the end of the book.

# data[].attributes.body
Simon is trying to ensure Ralph that they will get off the island.Even though Ralph doesn't know that they will he wants to keep them under control ,and give them hope.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that he is unconsciously trying to express his care for Ralph and I think that it shows his dependence on his leadership.

# data[].attributes.body
Simon is trying to comfort and remind Ralph of his import role as leader so the boy have someone to look up to and follow to give leadership and hope to survive.

Simon knows Ralph is a good leader. Simon wants to ensure and comfort Ralph to help him get through these hard times, since he knows Ralph is wary on the topic of escape.

he is saying this to Ralph to comfort him because he was uneasily

# data[].attributes.body
Simon means that Ralph has
enough of a charismatic, strong willed personality to be able to make it back home. Simon doesn't include that he, himself, wget back, however, maybe he knew that he wasn't cut out for survival of the fittest.

# data[].attributes.body
I think he is trying to tell Ralph that he needs to stop worrying so much about keeping the fire going because he knows they will get rescued.
