How has the fear of the unknown, "the beastie," resurfaced? Some of the boys continue to be frightened of 'the beastie', even though Ralph has denied it repeatedly. The problem has resurfaced through the young ones' dreams, and is confirmed by Jack, when he admits that he can feel a presence in the forest, 'as if something's behind you all the time', and he can relate to how everyone is feeling. Their answer is to be rescued as soon as possible; yet Jack only wishes to kill a wild pig. Now that the "beastie" has resurfaced a lot more of the boys believe it. last time it was mostly the younger boys but now more of the older boys are becoming scared because Jack is seen as a leader and he is the one spreading this information. |

How has the fear of the unknown, "the beastie," resurfaced? Jack describes a feeling when he's out in the woods, like something is watching and following him. The younger boys, or litl'uns, talk and scream in their sleeps about the "beastie," and it is voiced that maybe the island is 'bad.' For these reasons the boys are determined to finish the huts, so they can have a real home and hopefully be protected from this monster. I agree and it feels like all the boys want a home to feel safe and protected from not only this 'beastie' but from the island as well. |

Ralph wants to build shelters to make the other boys feel protected from "the beastie". He says that some boys talk and scream in their sleep about the snakes. Jack talks about how he feels as though he is being followed, and possibly hunted, in the forest. Snake has become a word that isn't mentionable because it brings fear, making the boys think that the island could be bad. I think he is also trying to make Ralph aware that they are all frightened and need to do more to reassure them that is it going to be alright and that he needs to be a better leader by talking with the other boys more and making them more comfortable around him. |

How has the fear of the unknown, "the beastie," resurfaced? the fear of 'the beastie" is resurfaced when Jack mentions to the other boys that when he is out hunting he has a feeling like something is follows him, he feels the presents of something else. Also, the younger boys who originally weren't convinced by what Ralph's first opinion of 'the beastie' have screaming/talking about the beast in there sleep, there appear very terrified at night. |

The problem of shelter has been increasing and the you ger boys are in need of shelter to feel safe from the "beastie" and Jack states that he feels like there is a presence with him while he is hunting for pigs. Jack seems onlyinterestedn hunting amd bringing the group meat, which upsets Ralph as there are bigger issues at hand.

Jack mentions that when he is out hunting he feels that something is following him, "you can feel as if you're not hunting, but being hunted." The younger boys talki and even scream in their sleep about a 'beastie', as if it wasn't a good island. Many of the older boys are beginning to believe in the beastie as well, which hightens the problem for Ralph. |

This time, the young boys seem to not be the only ones afraid of the "beastie", as the older boys also seem scared of it. I agree and I think this somehow makes the fear more real for the little boys because it makes it seem like an actual, rational fear. |

Since Ralph is, deep down, just like all the other boys, he should be scared too, but I think he is remaining strong for the sake of the boys. If they see their chief scared then this will encourage chaos from the fear. So this is probably why Ralph is denying it. Although, Ralph also may not believe that there is something bad on the island because nothing bad has ever happened to him before. He may just think "no, this can't happen because bad and scary things don't happen" whereas some of the other boys with less sheltered lives find the idea much more believable |

How has the fear of the unknown, "the beastie," resurfaced? Jack mentions the feeling of being followed he experienced as he out hunting. He suddenly feels as though he is the hunted, "the beastie" has re surfaced. Suddenly "beastie" is a word not to be said, as it brings thoughts of evil and terrible to the boys minds. Now not only the younger boys are experiencing fear. As "the beastie" has resurfaced, it frightens the younger boys' minds even more. This is frightening the older boys, no matter how much they don't know or believe about it. Even if Jack feels hunted, not mentioning "the beastie" helps for them to forget and act as though nothing strange is happening.The boys comfort themselves with the thoughts of the joyful first day. |

Jack mentions when he is out hunting for food he feels like he is being watched by something. The younger boys talk about the beastie at night and the feel like they shouldn't mention that name again. its interesting that this time, it is the older boys who are scared by the 'beastie' and not just the younger boys. In particular, jack is the one who is scared and they think that the worn should not be mentioned for the best. |

How has the fear of the unknown, "the beastie," resurfaced? The fear of the beastie has resurfaced because Ralph was telling Jack that the littluns were having nightmares. It's also suggested that maybe the island isn't actually a good island. Jack also admits that he feels like something is watching him when he's out hunting. |

Jack tells Ralph that sometimes when he is hunting, he gets a feeling that he is not hunting but actually being hunted, and that there is something behind you all the time in the jungle.
