When I was twelve my fears were concealed in my attitude. I would tell my friends and family I wasn’t scared of anything and let my dare devil show. Looking at the deeper side of it, I’d say that out of anything I was most scared of being alone, without friends, without family, without anything. In the novel, the young boys get stranded on a deserted island with no where to go and no possible way to get rescued. The boys don’t have their parents to rescue them, and that was my biggest fear.
