Lord of the Flies Chapter 8&9

These chapters were complete chaos. There were a few pages I had to re-read because I was unsure exactly what was going on. I can't believe all the disaster that has occurred all because of the beast accusation. Simon finds out the beast is a figure of their imagination, and goes to tell the boys  but because they are in a cannibal state, they tear Simon to pieces. I was a little confused about the Lord of the Flies part. But I believe that he was imagining that the Sow's head was speaking to him, and that it was covered in flies? The change in leadership and division of the groups leaves Piggy and Ralph by themselves still continuously resorting back to their original goal, which was to get rescued.
