In chapter 7, the boys travel to the other side of the island and Piggy stays behind with the younger kids. Ralph try's to go hunting with Jack and the hunters while they are over there and he hits the pig in the but with his spear and he was so excited and finally understood why hunting was so important as well. Ralph didn't want to leave Piggy alone on the other side of the island all night so Simon volunteered to go back and then Ralph and Jack went with a few other kids to the top of the mountain to find the Beastie because someone claimed to see it by where there fire was. Once they got to the top of the mountain the boys saw the Beastie and were terrified by its appearance so they ran back down as fast as possible to avoid the Beastie.
