In these chapters, the main focus was the beast. It started with the twins Sam and Eric claiming to have seen the beast. Some of the boys decide to make an expedition to try to find and kill this beast that keeps poppng up. We find out some things about some of the boys when reading about their expedition.
One thing I was suprised about was when Ralph stabbed and wounded a boar and was so riled up about it. He kept talking about how he definitely hit it and wounded it. He almost seemed to act a little bit like Jack when they killed their pig. I didn't expect Ralph to react to stabbing a pig like this. It seemed like he wanted to hunt more after that.
None of the boys ever want to admit their fear. Fear starts to become a big thing that the boys talk about. They often say, "You aren't scared, are you?" It is an embarrassment now to most of the boys to be afraid.
