Beastie
A plane is shot down high above as the children sleep. A dead parachutist lands on the island, stuck in the rocks and trees. Samneric see the dead parachutist and mistake it for the beast. The boys hunt for the beast. They can't find it. Jack thinks he's found a good fort from which to throw rocks at people. After not finding the beast, Ralph notices the fire has gone out. None of the others, especially Jack, seem to care. It seems to me that no one cares about being saved anymore. At this point in the book its pretty much just every boy for themselves. They are losing control of their humanity. What's going to happen now? Are they all just going to go savage and kill each other?
