Percival was only a very young boy when he first came to the island. He was obviously well brought up, lived in a vicarage and had a protective family who had instilled into him the need to remember his name, address and telephone number just in case he ever got lost. Unfortunately for Percival he did get lost and was just one small boy among many others who nobody paid any attention to. Reciting his name and address failed to bring him the help he'd probably been promised he'd receive and as a result Percival spent several days alone in a hut sobbing and talking to himself. The other boys simply found this faintly amusing and offered him no help. Later he claimed to have seen something big and horrid moving among the trees at night and this was simply dismissed as a figment of his imagination. As virtually all the boys on the island attended Jack's feast on the beach Percival may have seen and even participated in the brutal killing of Simon. He may also have witness the death of Piggy and the later setting on fire of the entire island. Percival's ordered and protective little world of life in a vicarage had been replaced by a world of neglect, violence and death. Little wonder then that when help in the form of a Naval officer finally did apear Pecival was far too traumatised to remember the phrases he'd been taught but which had previously failed to bring him any respite or rescue.
