9. Who emerges from the jungle with the secret of the beast?
Simon.

I blame Evil for the death of Simon. I also blame Jack. Lastly, I blame the Lord Of The Flies. First of all I blame evil because, had turned everyone into quite savages, because someone like Ralph or Piggy, Simon's close friends, wouldn't have done that. So evil is blamed for turning them to savages. I blame Jack, because he started it, he lead the chant, and started the dance. Then, I blame the Lord Of The Flies because he threatened Simon that if he couldnt leave the island the boys would kill him. Then, what the Lord of the Flies said, came true which shows somehow he had something to do with it, like as if he had made them do it.

That was when Jack, was doing the chant and you know they were talking about Simon and not a pig, because when it was the female pig they said "Kill the pig, cut her throat, spill her blood" But for Simon, it was his.
