Read this excerpt from Chapter 8 of Lord of the Flies. Simon’s head was tilted slightly up. His eyes could not break away and the Lord of the Flies hung in space before him.

"What are you doing out here all alone? Aren’t you afraid of me?"

Simon shook.

"There isn’t anyone to help you. Only me. And I’m the Beast."

Simon’s mouth labored, brought forth audible words.

"Pig’s head on a stick."
