In order from the good boys, who will get rewarded in the end, to the "evil", who will be punished, I find that Simon, followed by Sam and Eric (the twins) should appropriately be put into the category of the best. They respect the leaders Ralph and Jack. Simon is kind to all of the boys, and is always lending a helping hand. Sam and Eric, who are still young, are doing what the leaders tell them, so they do not cause trouble. Piggy and then Maurice would be in the middle of this "continuum" between reward and punishment. Piggy, although very smart and rational, did not help when building the hut or getting food. He just lounged around. Even though Maurice has a good conscience, he bothered the "littluns", when they most needed support from the "bigguns". Ralph would then be second to closest to the evil side of the continuum. He cares about helping the boys and is very good with leadership, but was very mean to Piggy, even though Piggy found the conch shell and gave Ralph many ideas for leading the pack. Jack would be as close to evil as the young boys can get. He was horrible to Piggy, and hit him in the face, and even broke his glasses, which were his means of vision. He was only concerned about catching and killing a pig, which I did not even believe he could do because when he got the oppotunity to, he made up an excuse. Jack has some leadership skills, but is only concerned with being wild and is not concerned with actually living on the island.
