The Death of Simon

Simon's death was definitely a very iconic event in this novel.  Simon was a very inspirational person to the boys.  He was the person that was like the realistic leader.  Ralph was appointed the leader, but Simon was the leader who had more accuracy of being a leader.  Simon was the only way the boys ever had hope, because Simon always had hope they would be found and that things would be okay and he encouraged that feeling to be felt by the rest of the boys.  I don't think the author of this book should have killed Simon because I feel like Simon was a very crucial character in this book.
