Chapter 3/4 Characters LOTF

Ch. 3 Characters LOTF


"Simon 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. When he had satisfied them he paused and looked round. The littluns watched him inscrutably over double handfuls of ripe fruit." - LOTF pg. 56



Many characters in Chapters 3/4 started to reveal a little more about themselves. But one in particular stood out to me, Simon. The way he acted in these two chapters showed me the most about his character.

In this paragraph, you get to see how generous Simon actually is. Instead of walking past them, or even getting some fruit for himself, he used his time to help the other kids in need.

In an analytical type of way, the littleuns represent the average person. So, if Simon is helping the littleuns, I think he represents a part of the government. I only say this because he is usually one of the only people helping out on a lot of things that will help everyone on the island.
