Our young friend Simon doesn't have alot to say, but when he does say something, it is profound. During the chapter called Beast From the Water, Simon says, "What I mean is....maybe it's only us?" How are the boys the BEAST?
He means that "its just themselves". They are using too much of their imagination. When they get scared, they think of the worst that could happen. Simon thinks about the reality of the scene. When something happens, he stays calm and figures it out, the rest of the boys get scared and worked up for nothing.
