Fear...

When I was a small child somewhere around the age of 7 or 8 I believe I started to gain this fear of water. I almost drown 2 times when I was 7 and ever since I haven't had any liking to water. The first time I almost drown was swimming in a lake ( I don't remember what Lake it was). At that time I wasn't really afraid of water for a long period of time until it happened again when I was swimming in Disney World and I almost died. Today I’m not really afraid of water I can swim just fine and if I have to ill go in but I doubt I will ever enjoy it ever again. I suppose in a way back when I was afraid of the water I just didn't want to die, which I suppose is what all fear is...but that’s beside the point anyways, It relates to the story because the boys on the island are also afraid of dying there because no one will rescue them.
