Lord Of The Flies - Chapter 8

This chapter was very weird. The part where Simon met the lord of the flies was very confusing. I had to read it over a few times to understand. The book is not getting any easier to read. If anything its getting more confusing and I now have to read chapters over again. Im wondering as to whats going to happen after goes back and tells them there is no beast and its just a dead man that must of been a pilot. They might just think there still is a beast out there.
