2 Read carefully the passage below and answer the questions that follow. This passage comes from I m King of the Castle, a book by Susan Hill about two boys, Kingshaw and Hooper. Kingshaw s mother has gone to work as a housekeeper for Hooper s father, so the two boys are thrown together. They take an instant dislike to each other. Hooper bullies Kingshaw mercilessly, but on this occasion, climbing an old castle wall, Kingshaw finds that, for once, he is the stronger. King of the Castle! To get down on to the level below, Kingshaw had to slither over one of the jutting pieces of wall, and then walk along the ledge until he reached Hooper. He leaped across the gap, negotiated the wall on his hands and knees, and then lay down on his stomach. It was always better to drop down that way, feet first, arms holding on to the top of the ledge above, until you were quite steady, belly flattened against the wall. Then one, two, three, down. He was quite used to it, sure of his own judgement. The only thing was not to rush. Eventually, he reached Hooper. He said, I m going back now. They might have got the picnic out. Hooper didn t answer. Cone on. You can do what you like, but I m fed up with this place. There isn t anything else to see now, it s boring. Hooper did not move. Kingshaw looked at him closely. His face was green-white. Oh, hell do you feel sick or something? No answer. Look, you ll have to go down first, because I can t get by you, it s too narrow. I can t. What s up? You haven t done anything to yourself, have you? Come on. No. Why not? I want to get behind you. Kingshaw sighed. Thick-head, I ve already told you, I m stuck here till you move, and there isn t any other way down. You can t get behind me. He supposed that they must be quite high up. He hadn t thought much about it, before, because he didn t care. He never cared, however high he climbed was never high enough. Look, don t be a nit, Hooper, get moving. I can t, I can t, I ll fall off. Hell. If you didn t like it, you shouldn t have bloody well come up here, should you? Hooper stared at him in surprise. He was the one who swore, usually. Why did you come up? Hooper gave him a helpless look. His fingers were like claws, the knuckles showing white through the skin with the strain of clinging so hard on to his stone. You were just trying to be clever, weren t you? It s your fault, you dared me. I never did. I ll fall off, I ll fall off, Kingshaw, my hands ll slip. His voice was high and cracked with fear. 2

3 Kingshaw waited a second, thinking. Then he said, Now listen you ve got to do what I tell you, because I know how to get down from here and you don t, and I m not scared and you are. You ve got to do everything I tell you right? Yes. O.K. First take your hands off that wall, then. No, I can t. You ve got to. If I do, I ll just fall, I will, Kingshaw. Shut up and do as you re told. I can t. Oh, Jesus, don t make me let go. Why can t you try and get past, and then I can hold on to you? Because there isn t room How many more times? If I fall off here, I ll be dead. TAKE YOUR HAND OFF THE WALL, HOOPER. Silence. Neither of them moved. HOOPER Kingshaw s voice rang round the stone walls. Slowly, Hooper began to release his hold on the stone, finger by finger. Promise you won t make me fall, you ve got to promise. You won t fall if you listen and do as I say. Promise. Oh God, you are an idiot, Hooper. O.K., I promise. Now open your eyes. No. Open your eyes. I don t like it, I don t like it. I don t want to see down. You haven t got to look down, you ve got to look at your feet and think about what you re doing. Hooper opened his eyes and at once, his gaze was drawn toward the ground below. He said, Oh God in a whisper and shut his eyes again, screwing them up hard, until his cheekbones rose. He had not moved his body at all. Kingshaw noticed the dark, damp stain of pee in the groin of Hooper s jeans. After a moment, drops of it came trickling down his leg and fell on to the stone on top of the wall. He thought suddenly, I could kill him, I could make him fall off just by looking at him, or touching him, or telling him to take one step the wrong way. I am the King, I am the King, there is nothing I can t ask him for, nothing he won t promise me, nothing I can t do to him. Up here, I m the King. Section A You should spend 35 minutes on this section. Answer all the following questions. Look carefully to see how many marks are awarded to each question. 1.
