What does Simon do while the other boys are fighting in chapter 3?
Ralph and Jack don't actually fight in chapter three in fact they hardly even argue, they simply fail to communicate with each other. Each feels that his own views are more important than the other boys views are. Simon walks away, passes through the fruit trees and picks some fruit for some litluns, and then makes his way through the jungle to his 'secret place.'
Is Simon really batty?
No, Simon is infact the Christ like figure in Lord of the Flies. He has the ability to "see the future" and is more quiet and solemn compared to the other boys. The boys think Simon is crazy becuase he is not like the rest of them.
What does Simon try to tell the boys?
Simon wants to tell the other boys that 'the beast' on top of the mountain is not an animal with teeth, claws and wngs but simply the dead body of an airman wearing a parachute
What does Simon realize the other boys are unable to grasp?
that the beast is fake and only there in their minds, a figment of their imagination
In lord of flies Ralph thinks Simon is batty?
Ralph thinks Simon is batty. In reality, Simon is not batty, he just thinks much more about certain things that ordinary boys simply do not think about. e.g The Beast being inside us. This does not make him batty. Simon also has a tendancy to faint, which make the boys think her is 'sick'. Hope i helped :)
