Prop. 63 is about limiting and putting restrictions on gun and ammunition sales. I, personally, believe that Prop.63 is an outstanding idea because putting restrictions on buying firearms and bullets will provide more safety for the citizens. Currently, when people want to purchase a firearm, they must get their background checked in order to purchase a firearm. Contrarily, purchasing ammunition does not require a background check but will in January 2017. If Prop 63 passes, people who have criminal records or mental illnesses will not be able to purchase or own a gun.
In lord of the flies by william golding simon is like the jocks best friend because simon sides with ralph during conflicts. “You’re chief. You tell’em off.” says simon. (golding 51).
Simon being ridiculed shows the situations Christ went through day by day. As, Simon repeatedly tries to speak his mind throughout the novel, his ideas were always turned down or completely ignored. In addition, he also has his own hide out or what could be called a sanctuary in the jungle. He keeps this a secret and goes to it alone at night. This shows his isolation not only physically but mentally from the others boys.
Simon shows his displeasure to whoever destroyed the huts because he has the wisdom knowing that they are destroying the innocence left in them. This adds to the theme of the loss of innocence in a way that the quote shows that the boys are starting to slowly move into a darker side of themselves giving Simon a character that highlights his innocence for the theme of the story; where the others lack the capability to see the reality of themselves because they are blinded by the chaos in them.||| Furthermore, through the way that Simon shows his maturity, he also shows his care and sympathy for others due to his roles as the sage archetype, who are commonly wise and understanding. Simon is often seen empathizing and helping others, thus he is seen helping the little ones pick fruits that they could not reach, “Thus amid the roar of bees in the afternoon sunlight, Simon found for them the fruits they could not reach, pulled off the choicest from up the foliage, passed them back down to their endless outstretched hands. When he had satisfied them he paused and looked around (Golding

But of course there was this one cureles jealous boy that wanted to be a leader,the one in charge. Because of how ruthless and savage Jack was he took the fear that the boys had within them and used it against them to make them join his tribe which started the destruction of the island.
Unlike all the other boys on the island, Simon doesn’t act morally out of guilt. He behaves kindly toward the younger children, and he is the first to realize the true meaning of the beast. Simon represents a radically different idea of essential human goodness. The Lord of the Flies becomes a physical manifestation of the beast, a symbol of the power of evil, and a Satan figure.
Simon likes to spend time alone with himself so that he can think. Golding uses this character to epitomize speaking the truth. An exemplification of Simon’s ability to speak the truth is when he hallucinates and hears the lord of the flies say, “you knew didn’t you? I’m part of you?”(Golding 143). After this episode he runs back to the camp to tell the boys the truth about the ostensible beast.
Ralph is immediately admired as a leader. Everyone but Jack and his friends vote for Ralph over Jack. Those that voted for Ralph did so because of all his proven leadership qualities. He is confident, anything but shy, strong, and he is clear that he will do anything to get them rescued including doing a lot of the dirty work himself such as hunting the beast and building all of the shelters.
Simon’s Transition from Quiet Boy to the Establishment of Empathy In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, Simon’s transition from laconic youth to the short-lived establishment of empathy creates the subtle upending of the island’s makeshift civilization. Simon is repeatedly shown to be the only boy to show compassion and direct kindness towards anyone else. The shy boy does this at personal risk to himself. The most evident of these instances is in Chapter Four after the hunters have retrieved a pig and Jack is attempting to intimidate Piggy by withholding his share.
Ralph is the protagonist of Lord of the flies, a novel that explores the natural behavior of man. Throughout the book, Ralph experiences a lot of character development, being introduced at the beginning of the novel as a handsome, thoughtful, charismatic person who is a natural leader, he quickly gains the support and respect of all the boys on the island and is promptly elected leader of the island. Ralph's election kickstarts a rivalry between him and one of the older boys Jack, who believes he should be the one in charge. Jack repeatedly challenges ralphs authority as Ralph's leadership is repeatedly put to the test.
Jack has changed greatly, over the course of William Golding’s novel, Lord of the Flies. Crashing onto an island without adults and having to survive put a strain on all of the boys, but Jack’s personality altered the most due to this experience. He went from living as an ambitious choir boy, to being a vicious, brutal, beast. Many things changed Jack on the island, but most of all, he created the monster he became.

This mystic Simon possesses wisdom, and is free of the fear and sin that enslaves the others. Jesus also faces temptation in
After they arrive on the island, Ralph introduces Simon as a delicate boy from Jack Merridew’s choir. The name Simon is a reference to the apostles in the Bible, which makes it appear as if Simon was always meant to play the role of the Christ-figure. Yet he is not immediately distinguishable as such--like the rest of the boys, he begins merely as a simple child. Because of this, it is in the beginning of the novel that Simon acts most like the innocent, naive boy he is. He works hard to make life easier for others, yet simultaneously remains unremarkable until called upon.
