My reading focus is fear in Lord of the Flies. At first, there was little to no fear. But as the book goes on, there seems to be more and more frequencies of fear. The first real occurance of fear was when the boy with the birthmark mentioned a Beastie. He dissapeared later without a trace and did not show up again which increased the fear on the island.
In chapter five, Beast from the Water, fear plays a big part in the events taking place. The boys are really scared and they think that a Beastie is watching them. Everyone is frightened out of their wits at the meeting that they have. Piggy tries to talk sense into them but they will not listen. The boys all go to sleep with an unsettling feel hat something might some out of the sea and eat them all.
