__**The Lost Boys **__ by Noel Vermiglio, Julian Lee, Phoebe Muggeo, Tiffany Lavin The Lost Boys in Peter Pan are many little boys who follow Peter Pan as their leader. They are referred to as the "Lost" Boys because they never had parents. As soon as they met Wendy, they kind of treated her like their mother. She was caring and nice and she felt like she had the responsibility to keep an eye out for the children.The disney version of Peter Pan explains how the boys fell out of their baby carriages as their nurses weren't looking. They were soon whisked off to Peter Pan in Neverland.



Character Analysis: Tootles (skunk)



Tootles has the worst luck out of all the Lost Boys, he always is out doing chores or other unexciting activities while Peter and the rest of the Lost Boys are out on Pirate/Indian adventures. He is constantly and desperately trying to prove is worth among the Lost Boys. After Tink lies to the Lost Boys saying that Wendy is a bird and that they need to shoot her, Tootles is thrilled that he is there for that 'adventure' but is once again hit with bad luck when he actually hits Wendy with an arrow. In England: Grows up to become a judge. Nibs (Rabbit) Nibs is always happy and cheerful, he is the braves among the Lost Boys. He has only one memory of his mother, but it is unexplained in the book. In England: Grows up to work in an office. Curly aka Cubby (Bear) Cubby isn't the sharpest of all the lost boys but he is the common favourite. He gets himself into a lot of trouble, but has a sweet personality. In England: Grows up to work in an office. Slightly (Fox)

Slightly is the most conceited one because "remembers" his life before being lost. But he can not remember his life before becomming lost, all his memories are false or made up. He makes pipes and other musical instruments out of branches and has a talent for music. In England: Grows up, marries a noblewoman and becomes a lord. Twins (Raccoons) They look exactly the same and even Peter cannot distinguish them. Other than the fact that they are biological twins little is known about them. In England: Grow up to work in an office.

Lost Boys and Wendy:  Wendy is often portrayed as the "mother" of the Lost Boys. She cares for them and watches out for them while she's in Neverland. The Lost Boys are very protective of Wendy, seeing her as their mother. They obey and respect Wendy.

Symbolism:
 * The Lost Boys are boys who fell out of their prams (baby carriages) when their nannies were not looking in places like the Kensington Gardens. When they were unclaimed for several days, Peter Pan took them to Neverland.
 * In the Disney version, they are named for their animal costumes instead of their proper names.
 * There are no "lost girls" because Peter explained to them that girls are too clever to fall out of their prams and get lost.
 * Lost Boys = childhood (because they will always be boys and never men)

The boys (and no i didn't read it...but skimmed through and kind of got parts of it) somehow get powers like flying and eternal youth as long as they stay on some boardwalk in Santa Carla. They also turn into vampires. (To me the whole thing just kinda sounded stupid.)
