It was homage to the beast and this, being the Lord of the Flies later, is related to the devil. Lord of the flies in Hebrew has a similar name to Beelzebub, which is the devil. It signifies that the devil is all part of us, when he says he is part of them to Simon during one of his seizures.
During his internalised conversation with 'The Lord of the Flies' Simon is really just talking to the darkness within himself, the part of himself that has the capacity to do evil. Essentially he is simply arguing and talking to himself during an epileptic fit. His inner evil tells him that, and I quote... "Fancy thinking that the beast was something that you could hunt and kill!... You knew, didn't you? That I'm part of you?" This was essentially just Simon confirming in his own mind what he's earlier said during a meeting, and I quote... "Maybe there is a beast... What I mean is... maybe it's only us."
The real reason is the Lord of the Flies, which is a symbol for the evil in all humans. Simon's encounter with him in Chapter Eight shows him answering his question with this quote. "'You knew, didn't you? I'm part of you? Close, close, close! I'm the reason why it's no go? Why things are what they are?'" Chapter 8, pg. 130.
It shows that he still has some humanity, a part of the society he lived in once, left inside him.
The Lord of the Flies itself to Simon

Everyone does their part. The littl' uns aren't messing around.

In the book The Lord of the Flies by chapter 9 Ralph, Piggy, and the twins are the people who have not joined Jack's group. After the twins are captured and Piggy is killed that leaves Ralph as the one person who is not a part of Jack's tribe.
well remember part 3 . The clothes were washed out into the sea and a bunch of sharks ate them
Part of the island burns and the boy with the birthmark on his face dissapears
It depends on the copy of your book but on the usual Lord of the Flies copy it is on page 74.
There are many irony in the Lord of the Flies. Here are some examples:The survivors of the plane crash are boys evacuated from the battle zone during the world war. However the society the form eventually breaks down, and the boys go to war once again.Piggy's eyesight is weak, but his insight is strong
That is the essential premise of Lord of the Flies, that evil is not an external force, such as a winged beast with claws and sharp teeth, but is simply an intergral part of everyone. Some people fight against their propensity to do evil but others relish the prospect.
It really depends on which part of the book your referring to, but i believe it is the beast that is up there or what they assume to be the beast.
