Why do Ralph and Jack both insist on going after the beast?

Ralph feels that it is his duty as chief to go and look for the beast. Uppermost in Ralph's mind is the need to relight the fire so that they can be rescued, he views the beast as an obstacle which is preventing this. Jack is the self appointed head of the hunters and as the task involves hunting and tracking he is an obvious choice to go too. Jack also wishes to be leader, so he can't allow Ralph to gain prestige from doing something alone, Jack wants his full share of any glory.Ralph feels that it is his duty as chief to go and look for the beast.

What is the setting in chapter 7 of the lord of the flies?

The setting of Lord of the Flies is a roughtly boat shaped tropical island. The Island has a coral reef laying roughly parallel to one side of it, which encloses a lagoon. At the blunt "stern" end of the island there is a mountain with a bare rock summit. The mountain slopes gently down through dense jungle until it becomes level ground towards the pointed "bow" end of the island. On the other three sides the mountain drops more steeply down to the sea in a jumble of boulders and cliffs. Part way between the mountain and the pointed end there is an outcrop of pink rock which runs through the jungle to terminate partway into the lagoon. This flat topped "platform" is used by the boys for meetings. Their shelters and swimming pool are close to the platform. At the pointed end of the island there is a rocky outcrop, almost another small island which is conected to the main island by a narrow neck of land. This outcrop is christened Castle Rock by the boys.
