In chapter 6 of William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, Sam and Eric see the material of a parachute flowing in the wind and casting shadows and believe that it is the beast. The twins run to describe the scene to Ralph. Ralph decides that the boys must go explore the other side of the island, with the castle-like rocks, since it has previously not been investigated. They set out expecting to find the beast, but instead, the group finds a cave to investigate. They spend some time playing on the rocks, to the point that they forget about their obligations. Ralph and Jack even find some of their old friendship rekindled; however, the fun is interrupted when eventually Ralph wants the group to return to rebuild the signal fire. The boys are unhappy to end their fun, but they comply with their leader’s demands and return to the camp.
