Simon

Once a choir boy, when Simon is first introduced he is half fainting from the shock of the plane crash. An older boy, Simon is the only one who helps Ralph on the huts. He has dark hair and darker skin. Simon has an unusual sense of morality. His morality comes from the natural world rather than from human society which means that unlike the others his morality does not erode over time. When alone Simon enjoys sitting by himself and watching nature. One of the only older boys who is kind to the littluns, Simon will happily get food for them and is considerate of others. He respects Ralph greatly. One of his only flaws is his over vivid imagination which shall be encountered later.
We are currently at chapter 5.

"A gull flew over the houses, it's harsh cry a call to the sea. It swooped over the town, graceful and alert. White wings with black tips carried it, gliding, over the land."

Great discriptions, i could easily image a graceful seagul scouted the land below. good job, keep it up!
