In the chapter Beast From Air the kids on the unknown island biguns and littluns, are changing their mind on weather the beast is really coming from the water now they are thinking its coming from the air. Sam and Eric were out of the shelters near the fire, when they saw a creature with dangling limbs coming from the sky in what looked like a parachute. The twins went to tell Ralph what they saw but they were exaggerating because they said the beast had huge claws and had attacked them which was not true. They all got really frightened so they called an assembly quietly without using the conch. The boys agreed in going up the mountain and hunting the beastie down so Ralph, Jack and Simon go. They start looking on the other side of the mountain but they find nothing. Which they don't know that the creature that was dangling from the parachute is really a dead man.
"Jack led the way down the rock and across the bridge." (pg.108)
I chose this quote because Ralph and Jack are always competing with each other on who has the most authority in the group but at the end Jack ends up leading them down the mountain and Ralph stays behind. It is an example of a theme Man's Humanity To man because two human beings are competing with each other.
This story takes place at the peak of the mountain where they are trying to hunt the beastie down.
