Quote 13
“This head is for the beast. It’s a gift.” (8.224)
The head is intended as a gift for the beast, but later it becomes a manifestation of the beast itself. The boys therefore make the beast real, give it shape and form by means of their violent actions.

Quote 14
“I expect the beast disguised himself.”
“Perhaps […]. We'd better keep on the right side of him, anyhow. You can't tell what he might do.”
The tribe considered this; and then were shaken, as if by a flow of wind. The chief saw the effect of his words and stood abruptly. (10.142-143)
Jack uses the boys’ fear as a means to control them.
