remember reading this book.
The fear was from a few things. At one point he is alone in the bush on the island and he finds a skull. The skull is worn and old looking. He thinks about the potential forghosts even though he remembers his father saying ghosts are rubbish, so he tries to think the same with great difficulty.
Also, there is a bad rash going thru the boys and he is sure it has to do with a curse. His greatest fear is that the bad luck will hit him and a rash may be only the start of it.
When he returns to the camp he tells the boys about the skull but nobody wants to go confirm it. He is looked at strange be one of the other boys and is afraid he will be accused of lying. And lying, for reasons even he doesn't understand, is scarier than a skull or a curse. At the end of Chapter 5 the skull is missing from the place he lsat saw it and he knows he did not move it himself.

The main characters of Lord of the Flies are Ralph, Simon, Jack, The Hunters, Piggy, and Samneric. The other characters are The littleluns, Maurice, Robert, Percival Wemys Madison, Johnny, and Henry.
Apart from revealing his name and address Percival also revealed that 'the beast' lived in the sea. This put an instant end to the laughter and teasing of the older boys. As Maurice pointed out, "Daddy said they haven't found all the animals in the sea yet."
In my personal opinion, Percival shows to illustrate the loss of civilization on the island. Where in Chapter 5, Percival recites his name and address constantly, at the end, he cannot remember his own name. Coupled with Ralph's forgetfulness of why he was lighting the fire, the memory of civilization is clearly illustrated as fading.
he was nervous and forgot it. Alternatively: This is an example of the boys social norms of their previous lives breaking down. At the beginning of the book, Percival knew his full name, address and telephone number. But as the book progressed, his memory of this regressed. It's also an example of the boys slow regressions from "civilised life" into "savage life"
