Simon was trying to make the point that the real beast might simply be themselves and the way they were behaving. He knew that it made no sense for their to be a real dangerous creature on the island. Nobody had been killed or injured by the 'beast' it left no tracks, it simply didn't exist except in their imaginations. But a boy had been killed through their negligence. Jack had put the importance of killing pigs above their chance of being rescued and he had physically assaulted Piggy and broken his glasses. The very real danger to boys on the island came from the boys themselves. That was what Simon was trying to say at the meeting.

What chapter in Lord of the Flies do they make the huts?
In chapter three: Huts on the Beach Ralph and Simon are attempting to erect a third shelter but the two previous shelters must have been erected during the unrecorded elapsed time period which occured between the end of chapter 2 and the begining of chapter 3.
When did the boys in Lord of the Flies make shelters?
In Chapter 3, Ralph, Simon, and Jack were all suppose to help with building the huts, however Jack felt that hunting was more important.
What does candle flowers symbolize in lord of the flies?
it symbolizes no hope, but then at chapter 3, pg. 59, the poison taking over of no hope, because earlier in the story, when Ralf, Jack and Simon explored the island, there was nothing to make a fire with, only candle flowers. hope that that works :)
In Lord of the Flies what was Jack doing in the woods?
I presume that you are referring to the start of chapter 3: Huts on the beach where Jack is alone in the forest. The answer is that Jack is trying to hunt pigs.
'in lord of the flies chapter 2 in what ways is piggy the voice of reason?
Piggy is the voice of reason in chapter 2 because he insists that they make a fire so they can be rescued. Also in this chapter they use his glasses to light the fire.
