Entry#9

I found this chapter very insightful in to how the boys are feeling. I was surprised that everyone is terrified of the "beasty". I began to notice how all the boys see this creature. Some of the boys say they see the beast in the trees, other say from the water. The one I was most interested in was Simon's take on the beast. He believed the beast doesn't actually exist in the world the beast is us. He began to say the beast is a made up figure of there imagination. I like the way he said this and I agree with him in this statement. It was an interesting point that I would never think of but now I believe what he is saying. I am confused about why all the boys disagree with Simon"s train of thought. I really liked this chapter because of the insight into the characters.
