Simon's death truly shocked me. I kind of expected the boys to kill someone but I didn't expect it to be Simon. He was the only one truly willing to face this so called "beast". I personally think that he did nothing wrong, he was only try to deminish the fears that everyone has of this mystery beast. Simon was only trying to help the boys and it costed him his life. Through the book Simon has kind of kept to himself. He had his own safe place to go, so he wouldn't bother the other boys. When he finally spoke up with a GOOD idea, he was immediatly shot down and then later murdered at the hands of the bloody thirsty clan ran by Jack.
Simon's death could and should have been avoided. The boys worry so much about killing rather than the well being of themselves and their peers. Simon went to that mountain to face the beast for the sake of the other boys. He'd found the answers and then got killed. The boys should have slowed down and heard Simon out before getting caught up in the moment and killing him. Simon shouldn't have died.
