Then he tries to warn all of his friends and is murdered while trying to save everyone, even though he did not deserve to die. ]]> 2018-03-19 17:19:11 UTC https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243641874 https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243641879 Evy
Simon is characterized as a Christ figure in various ways. One example is his sacrificial death, which parallels the death of Christ in the Bible. He dies while trying to warn the other boys about the Beastie]]> 2018-03-19 17:19:12 UTC https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243641879 https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243642118 Elise Lentini: Simon acts as the glue holding everyone together by settling disputes and staying out of all the drama within the group. When the group is incapable of doing something Simon takes it upon himself to get it done. ]]> 2018-03-19 17:19:32 UTC https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243642118 https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243642121 Simon was betrayed and killed by his peers like Jesus- Nate]]> 2018-03-19 17:19:32 UTC https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243642121 https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243642270 Patrick McAndrew                                                                                                                                               
Simon is the only one on the island who communicates with the beast, who is seen as the devil. Jesus was the only one on earth who could communicate with the higher powers of life, and Simon was that on the island.]]> 2018-03-19 17:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243642270 https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243642336 Joanne:Simon, like Jesus also tried to tell the boys information that would have helped them and told them more about something that they wanted to know about.

Simon is a Christ-like-figure because he was always willing to do the most dangerous things to help out the group. He dies nobly i guess because he was trying to warn the boys of the beast]]> 2018-03-19 17:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243642998 https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243643035 Carolyn
"I think you'll get back all right", Simon says this to Ralph for reassurance and shows his compassion towards others. Jack completely lost this humane part of his soul, but Simon is there to lift people's spirits.]]> 2018-03-19 17:20:48 UTC https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243643035 https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243643053 Grace]]> 2018-03-19 17:20:49 UTC https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243643053 https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243643867 Simon is characterized as a Christ figure because he instantly sets himself apart from the rest of the boys on the island. While the other boys go savage one by one, Simon seems to be somewhat immune to the transformation, keeping civilized for the most part. Simon is the only one who realized that the beast came from within and was not a creature somewhere on the island. The other boys failed to understand his views, and they ended up killing him. -Joe]]> 2018-03-19 17:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243643867 https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243643904 Heather Ritson:
Simon is shown as a Christ figure in many ways. One example is that he was killed after he found out something that was important. Like Jesus, Simon found out the truth and when he tried to tell it, he ended up being killed.]]> 2018-03-19 17:22:01 UTC https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243643904 https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243643917 Gregory Adamek

Simon was brutally murdered for following a good cause, just like Jesus.]]> 2018-03-19 17:22:03 UTC https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243643917 https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243643926 Annie Wingate:  The evidence I used to prove that Simon is a Christ figure was that, just like Simon was hallucinating about an "evil" figure and was being given advice and having a conversation with the Lord of the Flies, Jesus was visited by Satan in the desert and attempted to talk Jesus into giving in to temptation. ]]> 2018-03-19 17:22:03 UTC https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243643926 https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243644026 Simon can be characterized as a Christ figure because of the innate, unshakable kindness within him. One parallel that's possible to draw is that Simon feeds the littuns like Jesus feeds an army. "...found for them the fruit they could not reach, pulled off the choicest from up in the foliage, passed them back down to the endless, outstretched hands."]]> 2018-03-19 17:22:13 UTC https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243644026 https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243644793 Simon is a Christ figure because he was viewed as weird or queer by Jack, a prominent leader figure on the island. This is similar to Jesus being viewed as an outsider by Pontius Pilate. - Anna]]> 2018-03-19 17:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243644793 https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243644940 2018-03-19 17:23:33 UTC https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243644940 https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243648751 Simon can be considered a Christ Figure, because he is one of the few boys who remained humane while most of the other characters turned to savagery. By the end of the story, Simon was the only character who was still trying to keep the peace between all of the boys. Simon died when he tried to warn the boys about something he learned, and he tried to share it, just like Jesus. -Grace]]> 2018-03-19 17:29:03 UTC https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243648751 https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243836308 Simon is considered a Christ Figure for several reasons.  He was one of the only characters to keep order and put forth the best interest of everyone rather than himself.  He did everything he could to keep the boys safe and together as one.  When seeing the lord of the flies he saw the loss of humanity yet still went to warn the boys and protect them.  With this he was killed for simply doing the best for the greater good, much like Jesus Christ.  His efforts and sacrifices to do what's best were constantly overlooked, but still appreciated by a few (Piggy and Ralph) like Jesus and the disciples. -Sam]]> 2018-03-20 04:17:32 UTC https://padlet.com/meghan_estrada/c9fzc8jkjvw1/wish/243836308
