LOTF

One of the most important scenes in the book is on page 89. It takes place while their is an assembly where everyone is discussing the beast. It starts when Simon says " maybe, maybe there is a beast." He also says " What I mean is maybe it is only us. What he says is very offending to most of the people in the scene.

This scene is important because it shows people's thoughts about the beast. Ralph and Piggy are very offended by his statement's, and wish he wouldn't have said it. Ralph and Piggy did not believe in the beast and took a logical approach and they thought  Simon would do the same. We also learn that Jack doesn't care about the beast and just wants to have fun on the island. This scene is one of the biggest foreshadowing moments. It shows that all the kids who follow Jack are like the Beast.
