What does Simon say to Ralph that makes them both smile? Think carefully about Simon's choice of words — do you think it foreshadows something that might happen later in the novel? Simon says to Ralph,"I just think you'll get back alright." This sentence reassures Ralph even though he knows it doesn't have much truth or logic behind him saying it. This might mean that while all the other boys lose their sanity and their sense of civilisation, Ralph will keep these traits. He might not mean get back home literally but in a different sense. He means that the other boys might get back, but they won't be the same boys that first arrived on the island. They will be changed. |

Simon says to Ralph that he will make it back home, but reassures that he said "you" not the other boys.

Simon says "you'll get back alright," which makes them both smile. It is significant becuase he said only Ralph will get back alright and not any of the others. I think that the author is telling us that many more deaths will happen among the boys. Yes also he only says it about ralph, he doesn't mention anything about himself getting back either |

What does Simon say to Ralph that makes them both smile? Think carefully about Simon's choice of words — do you think it foreshadows something that might happen later in the novel? Simon says to Ralph, "I just think you'll get back all right." I think that this could mean that Simon is saying that not all of the boys might get back home safe. He could even be one of the ones who doesn't make it back. |
