2. In what ways are the boys, particularly the hunters, becoming more and more like primitive savages in this chapter?-Bryan Eltman The boys instead of an imaginary pig, uses a boy in their reenactment of the hunt. They jab at him with their spears and make a game of it. They even suggest doing it again but for real the next time. This shows their desire for meat intensifying. 3. Ralph asks Jack why he hates him so much. Why do you think Jack hates Ralph so much? By Kodi Lawrence Jack hates Ralph, because he thinks he is a threat. Jack thinks that Ralph has more power than him after he was voted tribe leader. Jealousy is definetly a factor in his hatred of Ralph.

4. Ralph wants to explore the mountain in the morning and Jack insists on doing it at night. Why? Would you have made the same decision? Why? -Jesse Jack wants to explore in the night because that is the only time anyone has seen the beast, and Ralph wants to explore during the morning because that way it would be easier to see. I would have explored in the morning, because you would be able to see the beast better.

5. Simon mentions that he does not believe in the beast in the sense that it is an actual "monster" out there trying to get them. He does believe that the beast is human. What does that mean? Think about what the beast symbolizes and how the boys, particularly the hunters, are acting at this point.
