Lord of the Flies

WP:  Chapter 4

     Simon is different from the other boys “not only due to his physical frailty, manifested in his fainting spells”, but also in his obvious concern for the more vulnerable boys. The littluns follow him, and he picks choice fruit for them from spots they can't reach.  He stood up for Piggy and helps him get his glasses back when Jack knocks them off his head.  In addition he has a secret place in the jungle, where he spends time alone.
