In the story "Lord of the flies" Golding wants us to see the hyperbole and imagery being used, also golding wants to show us that Simon represents goodness but what he does.
When Simon and the littleuns find the tree with fruit in it they want some, but the littluns couldn't reach them. So Simon "pulled off the choicest from up in the foliage and passed them down to the endless out stretched hands." Golding Page 46. Golding stats " everywhere was the scent of ripeness and the booming of a million bees at pasture." Golding page 46. The author wants us to imagine all of those bees sworming towards the tree with fruit to create a beautiful sight to see in our mind. Simon is being helpful to the littluns by helping them grab the fruit off the trees that they could not reach.
The author wants to show us Simons desire to help the needy littluns that could not reach the fruit and it also supports his goodness.

I awake stiff and sore. I have no idea of the time,
Although I suppose, from the buzzing of the electric sun on
The ceiling, that it is the evening of the next day. [DG1]
My head throbs. My stomach is parched. I stand on shaky legs,
Then collapse on the bare floor, the pain between my legs like
A searing coal. [DG2]
I grab the bedsheet, struggle to my feet, and make my way to
The little table, where someone has left a glass of water.
Then I catch sight of a girl in the mirror.
She has blackened tiger eyes and bleary chili pepper lips.[DG3]
She looks back at me full of sadness and scorn and says,
You have become one of them. [DG4]
[DG1]she can tell by the things in her room on what time of day it is.. [DG2]Simile: She has never felt a pain like this before, because this has never happened to her until now. [DG3]They tried to hide the bruises she got on her face when she was being raped. [DG4]They tell her she has become one of them because she has now had her first victim rape her so now she is like every other girl in the hosuse.
