Lord of the Flies discussion

My favorite characters in the book are Piggy and Simon, who is your favorite character in the book?

It's a long, long time since I read Lord of the Flies, but I remember how much it influenced my own writing. If you liked LOTF, you might also like Playpits Park. Just wondering...

I wrote it. It is on Amazon with 5-star reviews. Amazon gives me a few pennies from every copy purchased (really! They make the money, not me). Just thought you might like it?

The conch shell, because it wasn't annoying.

The pig's head on a stick.

If you were stranded on the island with Ralph, Jack, Piggy, Roger, Simon, and the rest of the kids, which side would you be on? Jack's side? Or Ralph's side? I would choose Ralph's side because he is less annoying than Jack because I feel like Jack has been a showoff since the beginning of the book. But Ralph wants to work as a team and help each other out.

Piggy!!!!!!!! <3

Piggy, definitely.

Piggy. I always fall for the smart ones - well he's not "smart" but definitely smarter than all the other boys. Also I can't say anything bad about Simon. Which is something outstanding as you actually can say something (really) bad about all of the other characters.
I don't think the author gave us much characters to choose from though.

My favorite is Simon, by far. If I ever have a little boy, he'll be named Simon after this character.

Piggy

Simon and Piggy. Wait a second... What was Piggy's REAL name...?

Simon, Piggy, and the twins.

Simon<3

piggy by miles I love him too much and I wish that he was my friend

My favorite character is definitely Simon! I was rooting for him to survive the most out of all the characters because I thought he was truly a genuine and kind kid.

Piggy and Simon. Piggy because he's always the target for getting teased/bullied, and I tend to be more drawn to those kinds of characters (also the kind of person that I'd befriend). Simon because he's smart and kind and we kinda have some similarities.

piggy duh. i love his character lol

Simon, definitely.

Simon. I think he represents the goodness of humanity.

definitely piggy or simon

I like Piggy because I felt bad for him, he literally did nothing wrong.

piggy and simon, they did nothing wrong and they tried to survive without harming anyone

best answer!

I like Simon, our favoirte character

Simon, then Ralph and Piggy!

Simon!

Simon. I don't understand him. He is complex character but doesn't make you feel that he twisted.

Yeah, true. But the end really baffles me. Ralph was quite abrupt to say that he was in charge when asked. Why? Was there any point left to say that? His actions might not have contributed any harm, but does he also crave for power?

Simon! He's the wisest and represents childhood innocence.

Long live Simon! :(
