Chapter+3-+Huts+on+the+Beach

1. How is the conflict of character versus nature developed in this chapter? They cannot find any pigs to kill, and they are having difficulties building a hut. 2. How have the attitudes about the beast changed since chapter 2? Do you believe that there is beast on the island with them? Explain your reasoning either way. They have stopped talking about the beast ever since the boy with the mulberry got lost. We believe there is a beast on the island, because a young boy most likely would not make something up like that. 3. How would describe Simon as a character? What information in the text leads you to believe that? Simon is a strange kid. He is a quiet outcast, and is a nature person. He has his own hideaway in the forest where he goes when everyone is out near the water. 4. Identify the most important __event(s)__  in the plot and justify why the event(s) is the most important. In what ways does it affect the plot including characters, events, conflict, etc.? The most important event in the plot is when Ralph and Jack got into an argument about how the work was divided. This is what the main conflict is right now in the story, and it important because they need shelter, as well as food.
