Simon’s first action on the island, as expected, was to faint as his group of choir boys found the rest of the boys marooned on this island.

This would be the case in most other stories, but in The Lord of the Flies by Robert Golding, Simon serves one of the greatest and most important roles of all of the boys: Simon is the brain of the group.
