Golding has proven to readers time and again that the beast is not a creature to be feared. There has always been some logical explanation (the parachutist, Simon crawling around in the dark, etc.). In addition, Piggy and Simon have hinted that the beast may be "us."

I’m just thinking something from the top of my head so it may not be much so if weathering didn’t exist, there wouldn’t be anything to break up earth’s crust naturally. so by assumptions, the rocks on earth would be larger than they actually are since there’s nothing to break them up into smaller parts.overall, i’m not really sure, but all i know is that it’ll mess up the rock cycle that we have now.hoped this .
