The first significant event in this chapter is when they all decide to go hunt for the beastie. The final decision is, of course, made by Ralph.
" 'Quiet! All right. That's where we'll look. If the beast isn't there we'll go up the mountain and look; and light the fire.' "
This is significant because they have finally given in to the littluns. They also begin to look out more for the littluns:
" 'Let's be moving,' said Jack restlessly, 'we're wasting time.'
'No we're not. What about the littluns?'
'Sucks to the littluns!'
'Somebody's got to look after them.'
'Nobody has so far.'
'There was no need! Now there is. Piggy'll look after them.' "
For the first time, someone was looking after the littluns. This is very memorable.
Keep smiling, everyone!

I find the littluns adorable, but sometimes it makes me sad because my brother Joel is the same age as most of them. He's six, so I can see him being stranded on an island like this and it's a terrible feeling.
I'd want someone there to look after him.
Cheers.
