This question refers to the story Lord of the flies by William Golding.
At this moment a dead man in a parachute lands on the island. It seems to come from the war. Anyway, the boys believe that the man is the "beast" and begins a chase to find and kill him. Only Simon doubts that such a creature exists and believes that the beast is a part of themselves and that they are only afraid of themselves. He goes into the woods to contemplate the situation as Jack and Ralph climb the mountain and find the beast, but they don't stay long enough to see that it is just a dead man.
