Phil says he saw something big and horrid; beastie
It is likely the littlun is referring to the "beast" that the boys fear. The boys' imagination and fear create a monster that they believe lurks in the jungle. In reality, this "beast" is just a figment of their collective imagination, symbolizing the darkness and savagery within themselves.
He sees a snake beastie thing in the jungle.
It was Simon, but the littlun (who I cant remember the name of!) thought he saw a beast.
The littluns see nothing it was just the wind
In "Lord of the Flies," the beast is said to inhabit the jungle during the day. The littlun describes it as a creature that hides in the treetops and comes out at night.
The littlun with the mulberry coloured birthmark on his face is the first to mention a 'snake-thing' or 'beastie.' The first person to use the word 'beast' is Ralph, when he insists during the same meeting, "But there is no beast!"
They fought at night and in the jungle.
The littlun with the mulberry coloured birthmark on his face claimed to have seen a snake-thing, which he also refered to as a beastie, which he said came during the night. He was worried that it might return and eat him.
The littlun who first spoke of 'something' which frightened him during the night referred to it as a snake-thing or beastie. During the same meeting after Ralph had declared, and I quote "But there isn't a snake!" Jack had replied "We'll make sure when we go hunting." Exasperated by this remark Ralph said "But there isn't a beast!" And repeated it again for emphasis, "But I tell you there isn't a beast!" So, Ralph was the first person to use the word Beast to describe the 'something' which the littlun was in fear of.
Things tend to be quiet at night, as if they were "dead." So if something is "dead as night," it means it is very quiet, not moving around, not making noise.
