iv been watching over the boys and it seems that most of them are deveopling some disorder, one of the boys im most concerned about is simon, he seems to be really losing it and im not sure if hes quite ready to be in this type of environment,ov seen him since the beguning he first stared about being ralphs seconed hand man, and now he seems to be confusided on who to follow, now hes with jacks side of the island and he dosnt seem to like it so much because they seem to ignore him, i also have noticed that he started to talk to a pigs head witch seems highly unhealthy.
so im am diagnosing simon with post traumatic stress disorder also known as p.s.t.d. as an example "simon's head was tilted slightly up. his eyes could not break away and the lord of the flies hung in space before him. 'what are you doing here all alone? aren't you afraid of me?' simon shook 'there isn't anyone to help you. only me and i'm the beast' "(143) as from that you can see simon is clearly delusional and is talking to an inanomite object non the less a pigs head on a stick. i belive he is loseing it and his mind is tricking him "'come now,' said the lord of the flies. 'get back to the others and we'll forget the whole thing'" (143) these are the reason why i belive that simon has p.s.t.d. and i find his treatment should be to be removed from the island.
