Chapter Response: Chapter 5
Plot: Beast From Water
Quote: “Maybe,” he said hesitantly, “maybe there is a beast.”
Analysis: This chapter is about a meeting negotiating about the beast. They bring the children who supposedly saw the beast to speak about what they saw. Nobody has a very specific description and chaos breaks out when people start talking about how scary it was.
Even Simon says that he believes there might be a beast. Some speculate that it came from the water while others believe that it is a ghost. Every time the beast was mentioned chaos broke out and Ralph had to try and bring order.
Eventually, while Piggy was talking about the beast, Jack began speaking out. He challenges Ralph's authority and says that he favors Piggy over the others. Jack and his hunters storm off and begin chanting on the beach.
