I don’t even know if I have the right to grieve over Simon’s passing. We didn’t actually hurt Simon‚ or at least‚ that’s what we keep telling ourselves and each other. Did we hurt Simon when we didn’t stop the other boys from assaulting him? Was it even our fault‚ especially if we couldn’t see him? Piggy said that Simon should not have been lying low in the bushes.
