3. Ralph asks Jack why he hates him so much. Why do you think Jack hates Ralph so much?

4. Ralph wants to explore the mountain in the morning and Jack insists on doing it at night. Why? Would you have made the same decision? Why?

5. Simon mentions that he does not believe in the beast in the sense that it is an actual "monster" out there trying to get them. He does believe that the beast is human. What does that mean?
