CHAPTER 6: Beast From Air

"My Specs"

Perspective: Piggy

Why do you only have “one eye”?
Jack was very waxy today. He was flailing his arm and hitting me a bunch of times. Then there was one hit that knocked my specs of my face. I starting crying because now I can't do anything. I don't have my mom, dad, or auntie to fix them for me. I hate being the one embroiled into the group conflict because I am always getting hurt.

What sign comes down from the grown up world?

That there was a pilot in his parachute dangling dead in the trees.

Why aren’t the boys aware of it?
The boys are not aware of the pilot because they all thought they were the only ones there.

Why are Sam ‘n Eric so terrified?
Sam 'n Eric is terrified because they haven't seen anything like that. I think that the first time they glanced at it they didn't really take time to look and see what it was.

How do Sam ‘n Eric describe the beast?
They said that it had wings. They also said that they had some fangs. I think they are just terrified to much and they are making this stuff up to scare us.

What is the attitude of the boys when going off to look for the beast?
I think Jack wanted to do it diffidently, but his hunters didn't. I think his hunters just did it because Jack wanted to. The hunters where mutinously pushed to go with Jack to hunt.

Is there really a beast? How do you know?
No, there isn't really a beast it was just a dead person. I know this because Sam 'n Eric said they saw it but it was really just a human.
