What does piggy suggest about the beast?
In Ch 5 of Lord of the Flies, Ralph says there are no monsters on the Island. Piggy agrees with him. Simon says the beast is within them.
Why does Ralph's assembly end in failure?
Ralph held numerous assemblies but I am assuming that your are referring to the one he called in chapter 5: Beast from Water. Ralph wanted to set some things straight, rules relating to using the rocks near the sea as a toilet, keeping smoke showing as a signal and having only one fire lit and this he managed to do. However Ralph's prime purpose was to end once and for all any talk of the existence of a beast. In this he failed because at the end of the meeting there was an overwhelming vote in favour of belief in ghosts. Rationality had lost to superstition.
What does Ralph find that piggy sees as valuable?
In "Lord of the Flies", the boys who were supposed to be tending the fire go on a pig hunt with Jack instead. A boat is seen on the ocean, but since the fire has gone out, there is no chance for rescue. Ralph and Jack get in an argument about this. Piggy joins in the argument and is struck in the face by Jack, breaking his glasses.
Why has the narrator referred to Simon as the beast?
He isn't, Piggy also doubts its existence, as he says "They don't make sense, radios and TV and things wouldn't work if there were beasties and ghosts." At the meeting were the issue of a "beastie" was first raised Ralph stated a number of times, "There is no beast."
