Peter Pan is eager to stay a young rebel and refuses to accept the future of adulthood and fears to let go of his carefree and imaginative childhood. When children grow up they do not only do it physically through puberty, but emotionally as well. Adulthood comes with maturity both physically and mentally.

Peter’s absence of a motherly figure is why he struggles with his maturity and acceptance

While Jesus was on earth, he told his disciples of His death and what was to come. He told them that, "the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected, [. . .] be killed, and on the third day be raised" (Luke 9:22 ESV). Even though Jesus had made this clear to the disciples, it was hard for them to process and understand (Luke 9:45).

Many of the boys enjoy swimming or playing on the beach, but Simon spends his time helping Ralph or in the jungle. Ralph complains to Jack, “All day I've been working with Simon. No one else.

Our Sexual Holy Grail T he Acts of Peter and the letter to Theodore by Clement of Alexandria, plainly demonstrates an ongoing battle of evil within early Christian development and its teachings. Moreover, Peter’s focus on the devil’s sexual involvement with humanity and how lust influences and damages people’s sexual awareness from the beginning of time, coincides completely with Jesus’ hostility against Satan. Although, outwardly the church condemned Peter’s teaching of ‘celibacy for everyone;’
