Simon, Rodger and Sam and Eric.

Simon is one of the choir boys, he is shy and prone to fainting. He has a natural sense of good in him. He is connected to nature and likes to go away at night to get in his nature spot. Simon is one of the only boys that doesn't lose his sense of morality, and he represents good in the story.

Rodger is a dark complected older boy. He is cruel to all of the littlnuns and throws rocks at Henry but never hits him. He is very secretive and mean. In the end, he kills Piggy. He was a complete savage!



Sam and Eric are twins who do everything together; they are usually referred to as one person. They are always on Ralph's side and choose to be with him when the rest of the big boys leave. At the very end they are captured by Jack and held hostage but still try to help Ralph while he is being hunted.

Jack

Jack comes onto the island as the leader of the choir boys but is crushed when not elected chief over Ralph. He is one of the oldest boys, he is cruel and manipulative. Jack is the leader of the hunters but that is not enough for Jack, he is very power hungry.  By the end of the book, Jack is hunting and trying to kill other kids, he becomes completely savage and lost all sense of civilization.

Ralph and Piggy

Ralph and Piggy were the first boys to be introduced in the book. Ralph is one of the older boys, he is very good looking and slim. In the beginning, he is very care free and fun; but when all the other boys arrive, he realizes he has to step up and be a leader. He is the boy that finds the conch and that is how he was elected to be chief. He likes to make fun of Piggy in the beginning, but he starts to get protective over him as the story goes on. Piggy is like the adult on the island. He is a very chubby child with asthma and very big glasses. He is the one to start taking names of the lilnuns. He represents intellect in the story, because he is very smart.
