In the hidden spot, Simon develops his understanding of human nature as the true beast to be feared. The silence of Simon's hideaway allows him to reflect on what he sees and feels. In contrast, silence is a threat to the other boys. Consider Jack's feeling oppressed by the jungle's silence while hunting in Chapter 3.
During the assembly in this chapter, the boys respond almost aggressively to Percival's silence when asked his name: "Tormented by the silence and the refusal the assembly broke into a chant. What's your name? Ralph expends much energy on the needs of others as well as on the physical rigors of building huts, and he begins to feel the effects: He is gradually losing both confidence that they will be rescued and his feeling that they are involved in an exciting experiment without adults.
As a boy who represents the civilized, English society, he is neither as savage as Jack nor as cerebral as Piggy. He provides an example of how the leader in a community must strive to utilize the intellectual resources available in solving communal problems.
Previous Chapter 4. Next Chapter 5. Ralph and Piggy, in the end of the chapter Beast from Water, are talking about how they hoped there was a signal from the grown-ups. This signal appears in the form of a dead pilot dragged by his parachute onto the island. The boys begin to fear this signal of the grown-ups, and in a way fearing all of society and civilization. They turn into savages and hunt, fearing and hating this so-called beast. A picture of a young boy representing the kids and inside of him, draw some sort of monster.
The first littlun who held the conch was too nervous to speak aloud and Piggy had to listen to him and relay his words.
This occured in chapter 2: Fire on the Mountain. The littlun had a mulberry coloured birthmark on his face and was the first person to mention the snake-thing or beastie. During the meeting in chapter 5: Beast from Water the second littlun who held the conch and spoke about the beast was Phil.
In the same chapter a third littlun mentioned the beast, using Piggy to relay his words, this was Percival Wemys Madison but he never held the conch. No one was listening to him, and he was thinking that Jack should be the leader. Then Piggy told him that if Jack was in charge all they would do is hunt all day.
This is in Chapter 5, "Beast from Water. Percival Wemys Madison one of the littluns first says the beast comes from the water. Percival is the littlun who starts to cry when it is his turn to speak, after the littlun Phil has spoken, during the meeting in chapter 5: Beast From Water. In chapter five, Beast From Water, Ralph calls an assembly and holds a vote on the question, "Who thinks there may be ghosts? There are actually three littluns who mention the beast during assemblies.
The littlun with the mulberry coloured birthmark on his face spoke at the second assembly. Piggy had to kneel next to him and relay what he was saying to the rest of the boys. He mentioned seeing a snake-thing and asked what they were going to do about it and whether it would return the next night. In chapter 5:Beast from Water two littluns also spoke about the beast. Phil spoke confidently of seeing something big and horrid in the trees.
The littlun Percival cried and his words were relayed to the other boys by Piggy and by Jack. He told the boys that the beast came out of the sea. Jack said "Bollock to the rules" during the meeting in chapter 5: Beast From Water. Later, at the meeting in chapter 6: Beast From Air, Jack said, when talking about some of the other boys " It's time some people knew they've got to keep quiet and leave deciding things to the rest of us I think Huts on the Beach is a symbolic reference to the coastal defenses made by Britain in preparation for the expected invasion by Germany during World War II.
The huts foreshadow the coming conflict between Jack's tribe and Ralph's group. As a supposed symbol of unity they fail badly as the majority of the boys took no part in building two of the three shelters. Indeed while Ralph and Simon struggled to build the third shelter most of the other boys were bathing while Jack was off hunting, which caused a good deal of friction between him and Ralph when he returned. At the end of chapter 5: Beast from Water Ralph says, and I quote O, what's the use?
The beast came to life when the littluns told everyone it came at night out of water. Then the beast progressed to coming from the air when the parachutist fell from the sky and SamnEric saw it while watching the signal fire. Simon is the one to truly discover that the beast lives within the boys and that everyone has those savage instincts. He thinks that Ralph is not a good hunter, so he calls him out on it and asks the boys if Ralph should even be chief anymore.
When this is brought up at an assembly, Ralph rejects it, as do the other boys. The beast is metaphoric of the crude feral nature within every human, though naturally more prominent in those who act on it willingly.
The boys kill Simon in the book because the boys think he is a form of fear, the beast. At first, the beast is nothing but the in boys imaginations, but then as time passes, they create images in their head of what the beast looks like. Simon awakens, and then finds the parachutist that frightened Sam and Eric. He then examines it and realizes it is not the beast.
He attempts to go inform the others of what he sees, but the other see him as the beast because of his appearance. Extreme circumstances provoke precarious acts. As man attempts to survive, he forgets his moral code and reverts to instinctual behaviors.
In the beginning, the group of boys struggle to maintain a democratic environment. The longer they live on the island, their society turns chaotic: No one obeys the regulations set into place and most of them do not take their predicament as serious as they should.
Because Ralph blows the shell and this helps them get all the boys together. Ralph does not like piggy. Why is Ralph elected chief? Because he blew the conch and gathered everyone. The place where the plane crashed. Why is Jack unable to kill the pig? He could take the life of a breathing pig right in front of him. What do Piggy, Simon, and the littlun with the birthmark have in common? They are unwanted among the others.
