My Fear of Spiders

One thing that I was and still am scared of is spiders. Me and spiders don't mix. When ever i see a spider I would call for someone to come and kill it, and if no one is able to come I take the biggest shoe or book I can find and smash it ( multiple times) until it's dead. I've had a few times were spiders have landed on me, this might of cause my intense disliking toward them. The face that they are just plain creepy, small, and can move very fast is why I'm scared of them. I never have and never will like spiders.

Fear Journal

Throughout the book Lord of the Flies by William Golding, a group of boys get stranded on a deserted island. As the story develops so does their fear. Fear is one of the major themes in this book. The boys are scared of the beast, other boys, and the chances that they will never be found. Right now in the story Simon was just killed by the other boys. Ralph and Piggy were the only ones that really seem to understand the significance of his murder. This creates a new fear, of Jack and his Hunters.
