Character Notes

Here are the group transparencies from class today.

Make sure you have this info in your notebook (especially if you missed something in class or were absent)!  Please do not just print these out:  you need to write the information in your notebook yourself (or type it up, if you prefer!).

Open-note quiz tomorrow covering this material (and the basic plot of Chapter 2):

Period 1 (8B)

Period 3 (8A)

Period 5 (8D)

Period 8 (8C)

Also, here are the notes on Simon.  There won't be anything specific on him on the quiz tomorrow, but you will definitely want to keep him in mind, as he becomes prominent later on.


  • First introduced as the “fainting” boy (faints a lot). (20)
  • Fainting often may show that he isn’t as physically strong as the other boys.
  • Smiles/laughs often
    • “smiled pallidly at Ralph,” (22)
    • “he stood up, laughing a little,” (24)
  • Has an energetic personality
    • “vivid little boy,” (24)
  • Has straight black hair and is skinny (24)
