In chapter 3, Simon suggests that "the beastie" might be real. In light of the story, is he not a strange one to be suggeting this? is there a sense in which he is right?

Simon is quite logical; he's a good boy, with a good heart...... Simon words are true, he has insight the other boys lack into what is happening to them emotionally and spiritually...... and he's right in the sense that he understands the "beastie" dwells within them. The "beastie" is the uncivlized behavior and thoughts.
