Jack instructs the boys... "He came --- disguised. He may come again even though we gave him the head of our kill to eat. So watch; and be careful." When Stanley raises the question of whether they had or hadn't already killed the beast Jack replies... "No! How could we -- kill -- it?" So by inference Jack has endowed the "beast" with the powers to both transform its appearance and also to be invulnerable.

What is the difference in the way the two camps deal with Simon's death in lord in the flies?
At castle rock, Jack's camp, they saw simons death a whole different way than the other camp. They thought that simon in fact was the beast and the beast can change forms. Ralph's side thought it was murder, because that is a civilized thought, used in court cases. Ralph's side had a civilized way of thinking about it and Jack had a savage way of thinking about it to justify why he killed him.

How does William Golding present 'the beast' in Lord of the Flies?
William Golding presents 'the beast' in Lord of the Flies as the fear and superstition of the boys. (The boys imagine that a monster in the form of a snake, a sea monster, an ape, or other......."beasties" that they dream about lurks nearby.) It also represents the evil inside all of the boys hearts when they turn into savages.
Simons death in Lord of the Flies?
Yes he was. He had just found out that the beast lives within and was going to tell all the boys. But the boys were having a feast and partying. When he comes out of the jungle, the boys think he is the beast and stab him to death, everyone takes part. The next day everyone realizes it is Simon; yet no one will admit it was. :)
What does the expression kill the beast mean?
The boys think there is a "Beast" on the island that intends them harm. The chant "Kill The Beast" is used to build up their courage to seek out and kill the beast.
