Jack's reaction to the news of the beast in chapter 6 of Lord of the Flies is that of fright and he uses the situation to manipulate Ralph.
The boys are initially skeptical of Jack's claim that the boar is the beast, but some of them start to believe it out of fear and uncertainty. This leads to increased tension and division among the group as they struggle to understand and confront their own fears.
A boar.
You should probably read the book instead of asking the Internet to do your homework for you. Reading is good for you as a human being, you won't regret doing it :)
The boar charges at Jack while he is hunting with the other boys. Jack manages to wound the boar with his spear, but the boar escapes and runs away. This encounter further ignites Jack's obsession with hunting and violence.
There are no arguments in chapter 1: the Sound of the Shell. Jack makes a few statements which are at odds with other boys and disagrees with some points but he doesn't argue about anything. His biggest contention in chapter 1 is over who should be leader, when he suggests himself but is out voted by the majority of boys who favour Ralph.

Jack and his hunters reenact pig killings on a number of occasions. The one that you are probably referring to is the one that occurs after they fail to kill the boar, which had charged them as they were on their way from castle rock to the mountain searching for the beast. Robert acted the part of the boar and Jack shouted to his hunters, "Make a ring!" The boys began to hit Robert with the butts of their spears and then they got hold of his arms and legs. To quote from the book... 'Ralph, carried away by a sudden thick excitement, grabbed Eric's spear and Jabbed at Robert with it.' A little later we are told... 'Ralph too was fighting to get near, to get a handful of that brown, vulnerable flesh. The desire to squeeze and hurt was over-mastering.'

Why don't you read the book and find out? They go to Castle Rock which is the only place that Jack admits that he has never been to during his hunting expeditions. When no beast is found they then decide to look on the mountain top, which is where Samneric reported they had seen it.
In the Lord of the Flies movie, there is a representation of the "beast" in the form of a severed pig's head on a stake, named the Lord of the Flies. The beast symbolizes the darkness within the boys and the savagery that emerges as their situation on the island deteriorates.
