At the meeting in Chapter 5, Ralph scolds the boys for a lot of things.  In general, he scolds them for being irresponsible.  You can look at the question just before this one for a list of things that he is upset about.


At the meeting, the kids end up being very afraid about the beast.  Ralph and Jack had been trying to convince them that there was no beast on the island.  But then Percival says that the beast lives in the sea.  After that, the kids are very afraid.  They are convinced that the beast is real now, because it could very well be out in the ocean.
