What is the game the boys play after spearing the pig? Who spears the pig? Describe the mood of the boys afterward.
The boys play a game were someone acts like they are the pig and they pretend to kill the pig. In the game Robert pretends to be the pig. Ralph spears the pig but he just hits him he doesn't actually kill the pig. After that the boys were kind of scared but they were determined to find the beast.

Jack suggests, “You could get someone to dress up as a pig and then he could act, you know, pretend to knock me over and all that.” Robert said that they need a real pig because it has to be killed. What does Jack suggest as a substitute? What does this foreshadow?
Jack suggests to use a littlun. This foreshadows that maybe someday Jack will try to really kill a littlun.

What evidence did the boys find to prove that there is a beast? (Why are they so gullible?)
The boys found the aviator. The aviator was moving with the wind and they thought that is was a real monster. The boys are gullible because they are all scared of the beast and they don't want it to be real.

How do you feel about the game the boys play after spearing the pig?
I think that the game that the boys play is kind of dumb. All they are doing is re acting the killing the pig and I think that is kind of stupid.
