Simon wakes up in the night and finds the body of the dead parachutist and instead of looking to see what it really was runs back to tell the others that he’s found ‘the beast’.

Ralph gets told that Samneric and Bill have gone to Jack’s group to get meat so Ralph and Piggy decide to go to and find out what’s going on.

When Piggy and Ralph arrive they see everyone there (except Simon) laughing and enjoying themselves. Jack who spots Piggy and Ralph tells his group to give Piggy and Ralph some meat. Jack then has the audacity to ask who will join infront of Ralph who then argues that he is still the leader.

The argument is stopped as there was lightning and thunder which makes some of the boys nervous, Jack then tells the boys to dance around the pig the boys listen and begin to chant

“Kill the Beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!”

Simon then arrives and has news to tell (he finds out that the beast is not a beast and is the dead parachutist) but he stumbles into the middle of the ritual and the children end up killing him.

In the beggining of chapter 6 it is a dark night on the island, the boys are sleeping when an airplane battle occurs above. A dead pilot from one of the aircrafts drifts down on one a parachute and lands on the island next to the signal.

Sam and Eric are supposed to be awake on duty at the signal fire but are sleeping when all of this was happening. They wake up in the morning and see the parachute and they instantly think it’s huge wings and run to the rest of the boys on the island that they have found a massive beast. Ralph (the elected leader) hears about the ‘beast’ and calls for a meeting immediately, Jack (who wanted to be leader but didn’t get elected) quickly becomes annoyed at Ralph and begins to mock ‘Piggy’ he also decides that the conch doesn’t matter anymore even though he’s not leader. Everyone begins to think that Jack is going to become leader as he’s giving everyone orders. At this time Ralph has had enough and decides to get all the ‘biguns’ and search the island for this ‘beast’, they find this new place of the island which they think is the ‘beasts hideout’ and Ralph leads as Jack follows with the rest of the ‘biguns’. The boys find nothing and Ralph says that everyone has to go back to the island but the boys want to stay and keep the hideout.
