Sam and Eric said they saw the beast. They said it was big, furry, and had big claws which it used to scratch Eric's face.
the dead parachute man
Sam and Eric mistake the dead parachutist for the "Beast" due to the way the parachute moves in the wind and the terrifying sight of the body. They are so frightened that they run back to the group and report seeing the Beast on the mountain.
Sam and Eric tell the boys they have seen the beast. In reality, what they saw was the dead parachutist that had landed on the island.
The identical twin brothers are called Sam and Eric, or Samneric for short, not Simon and Eric. In chapter 6: Beast From air Samneric simultaneously describe the beast, and I quote.... "It was furry. There was something moving behind its head--wings. the beast moved too---" "that was awful. It kind of sat up---" "There were eyes---" "Teeth---" "Claws--" "The beast followed us---" "I saw it slinking behind the trees---"
It is the parachute of the dead parachute guy
AnswerThey see a dead man floating from a parachute. There was an aerial battle going on above them and the man was killed.they thought they saw the beast that was mentioned throughout the book. but it was really a dead man floating from a parachute. (like the person said above...) the man was killed in a battle.
Eric holder is not dead
The biggest advantage of using a parachute is that it keeps you from becoming flat and dead.
In chapter six of "Lord of the Flies," a pilot has ejected from his plane and died in the air battle above the island. His body has landed on the mountain, carried by his parachute. The boys mistake the dead pilot for a "beast" due to the empty parachute fluttering in the wind, creating fear and confusion among the group.
The "beast from the air" is the dead body of a pilot, suspended from a parachute, which descends from the air and lands on top of the mountain. This body and it's "flapping" parachute are mistakenly identified in the dark as a"winged beast" by the twins Sam n Eric, who are called Samneric by the other boys.
your dead mate :D
Smon unties the parachute of the dead pilot to ensure the pilot cannot be identified and to prevent any potential retaliation on their part. It also allows Smon to take control of the situation and potentially use the parachute themselves if needed.
