Simons Death

In the book Simon was known as the christ figure. He helped everyone out all the time from the little ones to ralph, the leader. His death was caused by the savages, including Ralph and Pggy too. No one knew it was Simon but they did kill him. This just shows what can really happen in a society where there is no rules or control. After Simons death Pggy was killed and the twims were captured this left Ralphs tribe to just him. This resulted very badly it was everyone on the island against Ralph. They were out to kill him so Ralph goes and hides. The interesting thing about this is that Ralph goes and hides in the spot where Simon always went to be safe and alone from everyone else. Simon being the christ figure of the book makes this part in the book significant. Its like that being Simons spot and Ralph hiding there made him be safe for a while and not die.It waslike he was watching over him and making sure he was ok. Also by Ralph hiding here Jacks tribe caught the island on fire to try and get him out of his hiding space by doing this they got rescued. I think it is very significant that Simon is the Christ figure in the book and because of his hiding space they got rescued. Even though if everyone would of listened to Ralph in the first place about keeping the fire lit they would have been rescued along time ago.
