What is happening at the end of the chapter in the scene involving Simon? How is he different from the other boys? At the end of Chapter 3 Simon slips away from the beach to find solitude and peace within the forest. He finds a quiet place surrounded by trees and flowers and he spends some time there away from all the other boys. I think that Simon is different from the other boys because he takes the time to appreciate the wonders around him. He expresses his concern for the other boys and helps them when they are in need (picking fruit for the younger boys, helping Ralph build the huts, standing up for Piggy in chapter 2). He shows empathy and kindness to all the boys on the island. He also remains away from the conflict between Ralph and Jack. |

What is happening at the end of the chapter in the scene involving Simon? How is he different from the other boys? At the end of the chapter, after getting fruit for the littlies, goes and explores the island. He finds a beautiful clearing in the forest and the author avidly describes his wonderment at all that surrounds him. I think he is different because he shows a compassion and wonderment for the island. A sense to explore for the sake of exploring. Jack hunts, Piggy give information, Ralph tries to build but Simon is just enjoying himself. He helps when needed and sticks up for those who are downtrodden. I think in the book he represents the good and the fair who are loyal to their leader. |

I agree, but while Simon is loyal, I think he represents those who value beauty over politics, and is someone who isn't troubled by it. Simon is different because he isn't fighting for power or seeking leadership, unlike Ralph and Jack. |

But I think he may also suffer in the end because although he's peaceful, those who don't take sides are often those who fall. |

Perhaps its his way of dealing with the reality that they are stuck alone on the island. |

Simon has found a way to take advantage of the island's natural creations. He is not so important and doesn't hold a role, that he can slip away from the others. He has found a small resting area surrounded by plants which interest him. He shows more maturity as he can think to use the materials provided with realistic skill. He does not however, share his discovery with the other boys. He may not want to scare the kids because it's in the jungle or, he may want to keep this to himself without it being destroyed or, he doesn't think the jungle is practical to have many people in it. Simon shows his strengths at surviving, but by not properly sharing this to the other boys, he may not be as caring or waiting until the need for shelters is realized.

He shows empathy and kindness to all the boys on the island. He also remains away from the conflict between Ralph and Jack. Simon in a way has every quality Ralph lacks in, empathy, an almost maternal instinct and a dislike for conflict. It could be argued that he would've been a better choice for leader, but at the same time he's very docile and probably wouldn't have been able to make tough decisions. |

What is happening at the end of the chapter in the scene involving Simon? How is he different from the other boys? At the close of the chapter, simon slips away to collect some fruit. While doing so he finds a beautiful clearing. I believe that this could become a special place for simon to just slip away to whenever he needs. An undiscovered spot on the island just for simon |

At the end of the chapter, Simon disappears off into the jungle by himself. He goes into a secluded clearing, sits down, and admires the natural beauty that surrounds him. Simon is different to the other boys, as he is able to appreciate smaller things, whereas the other boys are concentrating on bigger things such as shelters, food and getting rescued.

How is he different from the other boys? at the close of chapter 3, simon walks away from the beach and finds a quiet spot inside the forest away from the boys. He looks around him and appreciates the forest and scans his surroundings. i think he is different from the other boys because he stands up for piggy and shows kindness to everyone. he also helps some boys get some fruit off the higher parts of the trees. he also stays out of things when something arises between jack and ralph. |

What is happening at the end of the chapter in the scene involving Simon? How is he different from the other boys? Simon leaves Ralph and Jack and walks through the forest, while noticing the beautiful things around him, and finds a place where there are butterflies, flowers, candle buds and a place to sit behind a wall of plants. Simon is different from the other boys because he likes to distance himself from them and explore the island for no other reason but simply because he likes the plants and being alone. |

I agree, however Simon actually is quite important, it's just that the other boys do not realise this. If Simon wasn't there there wouldn't be enough contrast between good and evil. |

What is happening at the end of the chapter in the scene involving Simon? How is he different from the other boys? At the end of chapter 3, Simon steals away from the group to find some peace in the forest. He also could be wanting to explore some more of the island and see things the other boys are too scared to see. He finds solitary, hidden clearing and spends some time there to get away. Simon is different from the other boys in the fact that he is compassionate and caring, unlike most of the group. He doesn't like to choose a side and stays away from the conflict. |

I think that Simon is the most compassionate out of the boys and he is the most different and unique. This could either be good for him, or ultimately harm him. |
