Can you give me another metaphor found in "Lord of the Flies"?

I worded the last metaphor question wrong.
I need to get an example of a metaphor using one of they boys on the island out of the book.
Ex. Simon is __?
I've tried looking through the book & trying to find one, but I can't!

    In chapter 5, after the assembly, when Ralph is talking about stepping down as chief, Ralph refers to  Piggy, Simon, and himself by saying: " Fat lot of good we are, said Ralph. "Three blind mice."  In my edition it is on page 108.

    Later in the novel, chapter 8 page 164, Golding refers to Simon as a "small brown image, concealed by leaves.
