passage on PG.83-84
In the passage, Piggy is not worried about this imaginary beast, but the beasts that all the boys are turning into, including himself. They say that the beast would eat pig and they eat pig, so I think that that means that are the beasts themselves and most of the boys either don't understand this or try to dismiss this because they feel it would be better to believe in a fictional beast. They want to believe in this fictional beast because they still have a conscience, and it would be better for them to kill a beast than to kill one of their own. In the next part, Piggy is trying to say that he has the right to speak, because of the conch, but nobody is listening to him which shows hoe there once fun civilization is now corrupting and the rules are being broken.
Later in the passage, Piggy is trying to justify his reasons of why the beast is not real by giving scientific evidence, but all of the other boys are immature and don't exactly understand what Piggy is truly saying. When Piggy is talking about how the beast is not real, he internally realizes that there may be a good reason to be afraid, but not of the beast. They should be afraid of each other.
