Read the passage from Lord of the Flies by William Golding.
"I’m scared of him,” said Piggy, "and that’s why I know him. If you’re scared of someone you hate him but you can’t stop thinking about him. You kid yourself he’s all right really, an’ then when you see him again, it’s like asthma an’ you can’t breathe. I tell you what. He hates you too, Ralph—”
"Me? Why me?”
"I dunno. You got him over the fire; an’ you’re chief an’ he isn’t.”
"But he’s, he’s, Jack Merridew!”
"I been in bed so much I done some thinking. I know about people. I know about me. And him. He can’t hurt you: but if you stand out of the way he’d hurt the next thing. And that’s me.”
