Among all the characters in Lord of the Flies, I believe I can relate to two characters. I feel like I am a combination of Ralph and Simon. I can relate myself to Ralph because we both take the role of leadership when there isn't one. In Chapter 1, Ralph makes himself some sort of leader when he realizes that there are no adults on the island. During group projects in school, I usually become the responsible one of the group. I try to make sure everyone does their job and I try to help them out when they need it. This is like what Ralph does when he assigns jobs for the other boys to do.
My relationship to Simon ties in with some of the reasons why I connect to Ralph. For example, I tend to care for other people a lot more than I should. I try to work hard to help my friends and peers. I would like to think that I am kind, especially when dealing with smaller children. This relates to the actions of Simon, like the way he treats the young boys with care and kindness.
