entry#3 Characters

In LORD OF THE FLIES, 7 teenagers just about my age are main characters. I did not like most of them, except Simon. Only Simon tried to get rid of fear(monster), and he was the only one to know that the monster was themselves. He was the first one to meet the Lord of the flies, and the only one who did not fear of the situation.Other kids were selfish and coward. The existence of monster drove them to fear, but they did not know what the monster is. They just started to fight against each other, not trying to find solution.

Ralf tried to be fair, but his leadership was not strong enough to impress Jack.Jack was a cruel kid, and he wanted to become leader. He wanted to be number 1 and he would have done anything for being a leader. His greed had killed other kids on the island. Sam and Eric were under Jack's control. They did not try to go against Jack's commands. After Simon died by fire, Sam and Eric regrets, and it was pitiful to see them regretting. Roger, was a quiet kid, but when Jack becomes evil, he turns evil, too. Evil inside him was strong, it was hiding behind his quiet personality. He kills piggy by the rock. Piggy was a smart guy, but he never tried to defend himself. Even though people teased on him he could not say anything.When Ralf made fire out of his glasses, he gets some confiedence to talk with kids.

I hate the characters in this novel. All of them were selfish, or not strong enough to change the situation. No one even tried to think of situation better, except Simon.Simon was the only character I liked, because he was the only character who did not change.And this is why i think he represents religion in LORD OF THE FLIES.
