Jack is positive that the beast lives in the castle, Ralph is unsure and Simon doesn't believe in the beast at all. The other boys are also scared about the rock. When they find out that there is no beast living there, Jack says they should live here and not on the beach. Ralph says that is a bad idea because there is no food, fresh water and shelter. Jack also says that there's a good rock to push off an kill people coming in. Ralph is scared by Jack's want to kill.

Also, the end of the chapter, when Ralph moment early forgets his motives and goals, if is foreshadowing Ralph losing himself and him finding it difficult to regain his orgional thought and who he was. |

There are different opinions as they approach the castle as to whether the beast is there or not. Jack is becoming more aggressive and violent which is demonstrated in his desire to kill intruders with a rock, despite him claiming that there was nothing else on the island. Ralph is angered by the behaviour of Jack and the other boys. |

The foreshadowing that takes place at the end of the chapter is that the boys are eager to push rocks off of the castle instead of coming with Ralph to the top of the mountain and Jack blatantly points out that they could kill somebody with a falling rock. Jack's love of killing pigs could be turning into something more serious like wanting to murder. |

Ralph is getting increasingly uncomfortable with these feelings for a kill that Jack has. |

Jack's love of killing pigs could be turning into something more serious like wanting to murder. Also, Jack and the other boys are ignoring Ralph's logic about the fire, and they are just thinking about having fun and rolling rocks down the mountain, which is a dangerous activity and could resulting someone getting hurt, as you said. |

The boys are all excited by their new discovery os the 'castle' and are anxious to inspect it but also to see if the beast is there. When Ralph says he will go and see if the beats is there, Jack stays behind because he is scared as he doesn't know if the beats will be there. However, Jack then decided to follow Ralph up to the castle to show he isn't a wimp and frightened but strong and ready for anything. He knows if he doesn't go with Ralph, the other boys will look at him differently and not as the hunter he has come to be known as. Once on the top of the 'castle', Jack finds a large boulder and says they would be able to kill anyone that comes to get them or kill the beast. This makes Ralph feel uneasy because Jack seems excited by the thought.

Because jack has visited every part of the island except for the castle, he feels that the beast must be there. When Ralph goes forward and finds that there is no beast, the boys start to play on the rocks. Jack says that the boys should live their but Ralph feels that it is a bad idea seeing as there is no food or shelter nearby. Jack spots a rock and says that they could push it off the slope and kill an enemy at the bottom and Ralph feels scared and uncomfortable after jacks remark because he doesn't feel right about jacks bloodlust. |

Jack's love of killing pigs could be turning into something more serious like wanting to murder. I think this moment marks the point of no return for Jack. As soon as he starts to think about killing fellow humans rather than animals he becomes a savage. |
