My Cross-Examination for Simon
- Is it true that early on in your time on the island you left the encampment at night?
- Did anyone see you that night? Who?
- Did he recognize you as Simon or as another boy from the shelters?
- What was Percival's reaction to seeing you come out of the woods in the dark?
- Were you told not to wander around at night after this event?
- On the night of your demise, did you leave the camp?
- Were all of the boys aware that you would be prowling around that night?
- What did you see on top of the mountain?
- Did the figure move?
- Were you frightened at first?
- Could you understand how Sam and Eric could genuinely believe the body was a beast at a glance?
- Was fear of the beast justifiable because of this?
- Was your sudden arrival at the feast expected?
- Did the feast take place during nighttime or daytime?
- So there was little light to see by?
- Could a figure emerging from the forest in darkness be mistaken for another kind of creature?
